Additionally, Stern has been known to rally his loyal listeners when he felt necessary. In the 2004 election, he took the time between jokes and banter to take shots at George Bush in hopes of swaying the popular vote to John Kerry. While obviously unsuccessful in that venture, one has to wonder how much of the voting power he did control in his repeated commentaries concerning the President who was running for reelection.

At the same time, Sirius stock has roughly doubled.

Sirius CEO Joseph P. Clayton called Stern "an entertainment force of unprecedented recognition and popularity in the broadcast world." Both Clayton and Stern predicted the shock jock will change the face of satellite radio and boost listenership.
