There's also nothing saying they can't add it some time down the road.
Why would Sirius not offering Howard Stern be more attractive than actually offering him? That doesn't make any sense. I just assumed it was the CRTC trying to interfere into something that is supposed to be free from censorship.

Edit- It seems you are right. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2...6/223102.shtml

But that article states the reason Stern isn't coming here, is a FEAR of the CRTC eventually shutting him down. That's BS. Not that I should really care since it's XM I'm getting...
