This morning Howard Stern gave away 500 Sirius boomboxes in Manhattan to anyone who showed up. And quite a few people did. When they ran out of boomboxes they gave away 20,000 vouchers for free radios.

Stern appears on Letterman tonight. Drudge and others seem to think that Sirius may have bought out his current contract with Viacom and he’ll announce that tonight. We shall see.
