Sirius at 3.5 Million Subscribers?

I’m getting reports that Howard Stern said twice this morning that Sirius has 3.5 Million Subscribers. I didn’t listen to the show and didn’t find any mention of it on MarksFriggin.

Can anyone else confirm? Could this be why Sirius has been so quiet lately?

UPDATE: OK, so apparently it was said, but I’m not sure in what context it was. 3.5 million because of Howard? 3.5 million expected? I can’t see this being leaked out without a major announcement being made before the Q2 report, but who knows.

I’m seeking out the audio right now. When I get it, I’ll post it.
