The Chris Moyles Show
On 5 May 2005, Chris Moyles of BBC Radio 1 fame was discussing the final episode of the UK version of The Apprentice with his colleagues. When he mentioned that it was "in the [news]paper", he added, "No, it's not a paper that comes down from the sky, and we watch the show on it!" This roughly fits the description of The Paper--it comes down from the sky, but one does not generally "watch the show on it."
NPR
NPR's Talk Of The Nation program on March 9, 2004 discussed Internet animation and featured prominent mention of Homestar Runner as "the reigning king of animated sites" and "the closest thing the Web has now to an episodic hit show".

The Rock
There was a quote from Strong Bad's character video on a La Crosse, Wisconsin radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part where Strong Bad says, "Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part at which Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a high-five, but I see that I'm already here."
- It seems that The Rock are frequent users of Homestar Runner quotes, around once a week or so you can hear one pop up.

Ron Bennington and Fez Whatley of XM Satellite Radio have stated publicly that they are huge fans of homestarrunner.com. They end each of their shows with an audio drop from the facts of Homestar Runner saying "And that's the end of my show, donk." On another occasion, when discussing crying at the movies, they discussed crying. Ron Bennington said that seeing Li'l Brudder made him cry and repeatedly said "He's got the heart of a champion."
