Why does Howard Stern only work Monday thru Thursday?

I'm a big fan of Howard Stern and always have been. One thing puzzles me did he not work on Friday's when he was on regular radio? Before Sirius I stopped listening to him for a while because it was a bit sad listening to how tamed down his show had gotten because of the FCC. Like watching a Lion at the Zoo. As soon as I heard he would be on Sirius uncensored I signed right up and the shows has been great. I really enjoy my Sirius immensely but I don't understand if Howard's trying to push for Subsciptions why would he shortchange the public a day for a service they pay for. It's nice that he is on 4-5 hours a day uncensored with less commercials, but he knows the general public especially his fan base. Working stiffs who live bi-cariously through him won't appreciate getting shortchanged out of a days news and events for a paid service. Most of us can't listen to his show the whole day usually just on the ride in and home and for a bit in the morning. A lot of newsworthy things occur on Thursday afternoon and evenings and by Monday it's usually old hat. If he's getting a 100 million a year its kinda hard to sell not working Fridays to subscribers. I bet quite a few have thought twice about getting a Sirius cause they heard he's off on Friday's and feel if they'd pay just to hear him they would be getting shorted. His Masterpiece theatre is Ok but that is something that should be run on the weekends as filler not on Friday's exclusively. And please no more of that "Friday Show" with Gary.
