Add Howard Stern to the list of Christmas gifts with a following that made them difficult, if not impossible, to find at the height of their popularity.
The aging, crass shock jock who ruled mornings on FM radio in Boston and elsewhere took his act to Sirius Satellite Radio, the number-two player in the subscription radio business, on Jan. 9 2005.
Judging by the subscriptions he now has and how much he mentions WBCN, he took a lot of Boston fans with him.
Several store managers said Sirius receivers, which cost between $50 and $300, come with a $12.95 monthly fee, and have to be plugged into a car or home stereo, are among their hottest sellers this holiday season. Stern fans and their gift-buying relatives are cleaning out shelves as quickly as they are stocked with new units.
