No extra per month. It just plugs into the boom box. I think they are about $100. Just go to sirius.com and check it out.

I don't know if it's each year. I think it's a longer term deal like 5-6 year contracts though. XM has Oprah, Sirius has Howard Stern. They are competing with each other and whoever signs on the best people will get the most new customers. It's an ongoing battle between the 2. Sirius has alot of College sports too and generally more sports overall.

They replay his morning show all day in case you couldn't listen live. It is "Off the Hook" now that the FCC has no regulations on him anymore. The language and shit is unreal.

You would have to buy a portable one then. It wouldn't cost anymore service wise.

Oh yeah.. you know, i'm wondering when he retires if Artie will stay on the air and maybe some of the other guys who are there.. Like Fred, Gary or Robin...

I have also started listening to Bubba the Lovesponge. He used to be on down here in florida but was hacked 1st before howard. His show is pretty damn amusing as well

I talked to one of the customer service reps today and they are 100% sure they will have the MLB by the end of the year... I believe the contract is up on it...Even if the merger does not go through
