ABRockNJock,

Dahl also podcasts. He has loyal, If not terrestrial sized followers.

Matthews has taken a faith based path since falling ill.

Stern might retire, but SXM will try hard to retain his library and keep airing it for as long as possible. I just do not know what price they can fetch for it. Will someone else pay more? Does Stern care to keep his legacy living on? Would he bother @ his age to launch personal venture to do a pay based model? You call SXM you can get the unlimited package for $10/mo to retain you. The Sat business is transforming to go online via IP like iHeart and other media. The Satellites cost a lot to create, launch, maintain, sunset. Not sure if their profit margins can maintain Stern going forward. (But their sub numbers are largely reliant on his programming).

The 25 minute commercial load and PPM along with heavy debt load has decimated terrestrial radio being able to maintain those type of jocks, monetarily and how they run their shows. The last time E&J were on WLS-AM, the commercial spot load was so heavy, it as hard to get into them as they were restrained what to speak about and how long. I tuned in, I tuned out, as much as I love them.
