Sirius Canada won't air Howard Stern?
How can Stern be offensive to the CRTC?

1. "How can Stern be offensive to the CRTC?"
Maybe he's just offensive to the audience. That'd be a pretty good basis for a business decision. ;)

2. Stern carries on like a thirteen year old who has just discovered sex.
I tried to listen to him a couple of times, but found him to be just silly....obsessed with talking about "boobs"....His whole thing seems to be trying to shock....He's boring!

3. I don't have the article, but...
i read it was because of offensive things he said about French Canadians in the 90's.

4. I've heard it's simply because he's dull and boring...
...and had abysmal ratings when his show WAS on up here. Unfunny, aging/grown men - who try WAY too fucking hard - obsessed with "boobies"? Gee, I wonder why he's not carried in Canada?

Actually. like Tom Green, this type of shit flies when there's a HUGE market to draw from, but Canada is not that size of a market. (Nor is the UK, etc.). Even Tom Green was only cable-access/Comedy Channel in Canada before he hit with an MTV gig...

5. Who cares about Howard. Are they airing AirAmerica?
I get spotty reception at best on Vancouver Island.

6. Can't you get it streaming online? Or are you talking Sirius only?
It sounds like you mean radio (ie. "spotty reception"), in which case I'd try streaming it.

7. Can't stream on the road, unfortunately.
I spend an average of a couple hours in the car every day.

Thanks, though!
