Howard Stern channels premieres two new series next week

What Are U talking About?Where did u find that Stupid Idea

Hey Eric, O and A robots? This is getting real old, if O and A had no listeners, why would their contract be renewed? Why would Stern and the Sirius suits demand that howie be advertised on THEIR channel? Give it a rest, they make millions doing what they do, deal with it. This article is not about O and A it is about howie offering up old programing in a new package to keep HIS robots in his corner. Howie, was or did have a great show, even O and A will say that, but you have to admit it has gone down hill. And yes I do listen to his show on a regular basis, I am a fan of good radio, no matter who is the host.

I live in Chicago and didn't see a thing about Gary's pitch. Do all new yorkers think that the world revolves around NY?

Wow, someone who makes sense, As much as some would like to believe the world does not revolve around Howard Stern. Sure when he leaves there will those that drop satrad, but those numbers will not be the demise of this medium.

i know....i live in philly and didnt hear shit about gary's pitch either....and by the way yankee fan, nice to see the phillies fans make more noise this weekend in your ballpark then your own fans....

I was just curious, did you just say David Lee Roth is a real talent on the radio???

Jason Ellis can barely keep a couple hours filled with entertainment as it is, Do you really think he can do a 4-5 hour daily show, even four days a week. Hell no!! Jason Ellis is a skateboarder! Go to his website if you want to see what propaganda is all about. I dont think this guy gets enough sponsor money. Hopefully you support everyone of them. Have you ever listened to his show for more than ten minutes? If you did you would never make that statement!!

Your comment about raising the price and programming everything to everyone, This is what they should have done in the first place, without raising the price, we are already here, we are already paying, whats the difference.

Wow Ron n Pez? They have a show?

How desperate was XM to fill time? Is Bennington still bitter that his old show Ron N Ron was dominated overnight when Stern came to FL? Diaz left (not because of his wife) but because he knew that ship void of talent was sinking fast.

I remember that midget complaining every chance he got. He didn't realize you had to have talent to do a show and couldn't repeat the same stuff over and over to make it interesting. His bitching really made for a great 4 hour show.

Is Pez still doing his Nature Boy skit? Talk about mediocre and rehashing the old.

I don't have XM and won't pay to hear that crap.

How much do they pay Sirius/XM to be on the air.

Ron n Pez LOL!

No. Roth was a terrible choice, but he was backed by Stern. Why would CBS/Infinity allow Stern input on his own replacement? Probably the same reason they let him promote the competition for over a year...stupidity.

I've listened to Ellis's show. It's good, and unlike Stern's show it's laugh-out loud FUNNY. NO fart jokes, no phone pranks, no ass-kissing hole backing up everything he says. So he skateboards and is an MMA fighter...so what? He's interesting at least. He's one of the most original, dynamic personalities on radio today...and he's by far the best suited for the job. And no, I haven't been to his site. Why would I? It's a radio show. If there's anything more boring than hearing you Stern Zombies go on and on, it's a web site about a radio show.

And you REALLY wanna defend a guy who works 150 days a year and makes 250 million dollars? Is he worth it? No, he's old and tired and off his game. He doesn't even DO his show anymore...it's the same old bits and wack pack guests being recycled over and over. He doesn't even have to be there...Richard Christie could just sit in his chair and it would be the same show. Stern is not Stern anymore. He hasn't been for years. It's over. Time moves on...let it go.

I was simply pointing out that Ellis is pawning an awful lot of shit on his website, a website that is not devoted to his radio show. Not arguing whether he is interesting or not, I would assume someone who has been through broadcasting school, like yourself, might be a little irritated/offended by the constant dead air, "ums", and lack of structure.

By the way, I am not a stern zombie, I am a fan of broadcasting, and I will always defend a persons right to vacation, I realize celebs get more than the average joe, but they also recieve many other perks most of us can only dream of, I just think its ridiculous when people complain, I guarantee Ellis, O&A and all the others get more vacation and perks than most on this website, its pointless to bitch when you consider the fact that everyone of us makes our own deal in life. I found it humorous that you complain about Sterns vacation and how he conducts his show, yet you endorse a product whore like Ellis whose on-air attitude cheapens broadcasting as a whole, seems a bit backwards.

What type of radio are you interested in? Radio to me has always been boring banter about nothing, usually politics or ass kissing to promote the parent companies products, movies, tv etc.. I have enjoyed the shock jocks over the years because they always offend people I usually dont like. Most people dont have a sense of humor, they are too religious or pompous. I find great pleasure in watching reality irritate uptight people. Howard Stern was the right guy at the right time, sure, He's getting older and he is letting his time run out, but its his namesake that will attract fans of his style of radio to satrad, giving people an opportunity to hear the regionally popular dj's they keep hiring. People on this website want things to change overnight, its ridiculous, most people in america are brainwashed by their local media, if the popular sensus had their way, people here would be bitching about how Rush Limbaughs contract is too big and he takes too much vacation.
You had mentioned Stern being overpaid, If you were Stern and you knew your loyal fanbase would follow you, and you knew sirixm would plaster your face on shit everywhere, and you knew you would be scrutinized on websites and tv shows, How much money would you accept to program two channels? I think he should have taken more.

As far as websites go, I respect Sterns, They cover his show, and the only thing they promote is howard tv. He doesnt endorse products, sell merch or ad space. Please go to as many radio websites you can and compare them to Sterns. I am looking forward to your honest opinion about this comparison.

I am happy to be a supporter of a company that employs Stern, O&A and the many others. If you want something to really bitch about, check this out.

To be honest, I think Rush Limbaugh is in the same boat as Howard. Once very powerful, becoming increasingly irrelevant as time passes, and drowning in a sea of people doing the exact same radio show as him. He's also overpaid in my opinion, but only slightly. It can be documented by ratings books that millions more people listen to him every day than Howard Stern, but he makes about the same and works a little more. It is weird that they both have birthdays on Jan. 13th, though.

I agree that if I was offered the same money, I'd take it. Absolutely I would. Anybody would. But that kind of money was obviously more than the market could bear, and you won't see those kind of contracts in radio again for a very long time. Nobody will be offered that much money when those contracts are up for renewal. Not Stern, not Limbaugh...nobody.

Since you asked, I'm a big fan of a few people in radio, mostly terrestrial. I like Rick Emerson and Cort&Fatboy (both from KUFO in Portland, OR), Phil Hendrie, T.D. Mischke (now internet-only, from Saint Paul, MN), and I really thought the Adam Carolla Show was fantastic.

I mentioned my fondness for Jason Ellis, but I listen to Ron&Fez whenever possible. I'll also take O&A when Jim Norton is there. Most of my nights at work are filled with podcasts of these shows, plus This Ain't Iowa (from Las Vegas) and Crap From the Past (from Minneapolis, MN). In short, I like funny shows that are thoughtful and not cruel or overly crude (though I admit there is a place for this).

There's NOTHING I hate more on a radio show than a phone prank. Nothing as hacky, tired, immature, or overdone. This is the #1 reason I cannot listen to Howard's show.

I love crap from the past. Though at times it can be very slow. I tired quickly from corrolas attitude, he is openly rude to blue collar workers and middle class citizens, I disagree with that attitude. I actually got to argue with him about this and he hung up on me, claiming we were disconnected. I have a soft spot for Garrison Keillor and " A prairie home companion" though I have to be in a special mood to listen. I used to listen to Dr Demento on occasion as well. Maybe I outgrew it, maybe it became stale, I cant decide. I do enjoy well done parody songs, clean or dirty. I partially agree with the prank call comment. The problem is not just with Stern, most radio guys chop their calls to make them funny, I am a fan of uncomfortable things, so I like calls that are uncut and real. Sometimes the funniest things are so real, its hard to laugh. Two examples of comedy I will always support, George Carlin and The Upright Citizens Brigade, Carlin is just brilliant, UCB is so uncomfortable at times I loose all control, it was a short lived program, but I still enjoy it.

The only reason why the pitch was played out so long was because the "King" played it over and over and over and over and over and over again ad nauseum.

They talked about it, analyzed it, played the cuts from ESPN, asked the staff about it, asked callers about it, etc...

It was Howies version of the Zapruder film, except the JFK shot had some entertaining value to it.

**It was Howies version of the Zapruder film, except the JFK shot had some entertaining value to it.**

It blew my mind!

**It was Howies version of the Zapruder film, except the JFK shot had some entertaining value to it.**

It blew my mind!

Talk about rehashed shit 0.0!!!!

Even your screen name is played out. All we hear from the Kings Minions is what Hoo-Hoo did. The pattern is obvious, all the defenses for Howie are in the past.

A true Howie fan should be able to tell me what is new about the show. Where is the Revolution? Is it the two new "best of" shows Mel and Howie are jerking off over? Is it the week free of Howie on XM that is considered the best? BTW... where are the numbers on new subscriptions for 100 and 101? You would think if the free week worked, Mel and Howie would be all over it...

What are Oral n Anal's numbers in comparison to Stern's for the same period. How many new subscribers did they add during the same period? Where is a new Oral n Anal show for their channel? I can imagine how difficult it must be for the power twins to scrape together enough interesting material to make a 30 minute show let alone have the creativity to produce a weeks worth of Best Of or an entirely new show. If they actually put some effort and creativity into their show and quit crying like the bitches they are then maybe something might happen.

If Stern fans dwell on the past what do Oral n Anal have to show for the present? I haven't heard ONE thing about the tranny power twins other than the posts from Oral n Anal worshippers like yourself. You rehash the same BS, innuendo and delusional dreams but the fact remains that your idols are irrelevant, not newsorthy and most importantly, NOT interesting.

Mel doesn't and wont use Oral n Anal as a centerpiece for any promotion becuase no current Sirius subscriber would waste their time or money for that crap show. Featuring Oral n Anal is not a sound business decision and will not generate an ROI worthy of the time or monetary investment. Face it, they don't add subscribers and don't generate the interest or desire to add subscribers.

Crow all you want, it doesn't matter, Oral n Anal are going down quicker than ron n pez on a big salami.

ZERO.ZERO!

I am not even going to recomment on another rehashed Oral and Anal remark, so...

I don't know what O and A's number are for the same time period, and neither do you.

Why does O and A need another channel? Why would anyone need two?

O and A have a travelling virus which Sirius is going to promote during the summer. Howie has what? Oh yeah, the two "Best of" shows. The fact that you drones aren't jumping up and down pissed off for more live Stern versus this taped crap just proves O and A fans point that your God has to resort to previous bits to keep listeners.

Sirius XM already promotes O and A as part of the "Best of XM" centerpiece, so your point is shot to shit.

I can't wait for Mel and Hoo-Hoo to spin the numbers for the two pre-packaged, non live shows they are going to feed you Hoo-Hoo worshippers. My only hope is that gets a God like complex, moves to Africa and offers each and every one of you Kool Aid.

Way to go. Post anonymously, sneak in after everyone's posted, and talk your incorrect bullshit. HE'S DONE, can't you see? Howard is OVER. There won't be even TWO channels when this is over, and you won't even hear those sorry-ass reruns he passes off when he's on vacation. Get yourself a new hero.

Yeah

Get a new hero like me and Opie. We're the future of radio! Opie n me will be the #1 draw insatrad and will make a triumphant return to regular radio. Look at out performance befoe Howard came to satrad and you'll see we're the greatest!

We will take any top performing radio station and make them a solid 5 or 6 in the ratings, no guarantees though. But ratings are over rated anyway. It's the content that counts.

Howard's reruns are lame. Opie n me have heard them all and we can't find anything else to talk about. Please run different shows so we can get some material for our show!

You asked about "best of" numbers. I pulled these from the stockholders meeting pp presentation.

Tiered Selling Began Seven Months Ago
No price alternatives prior to merger
No base price increase before August 2011
“Best of Package”
SIRIUS 544 k
XM 204 k
Total 748 k
$9.99 packages 97 k
A la carte 4 k

Please help me figure this one out. In the power point,

http://investor.sirius.com/secfiling.cfm?filingid=930413-09-2893

they list one the corporate priorities between 2003 and 2007, was to rapidly build their subscriber base. Please tell me how they did this. They seem to have mysteriously added over seven million subscribers to sirius during that timeline. If you look at this chart,

http://static.seekingalpha.com/wp-content/seekingalpha/images/overallsubsq22007_04.jpg

you will see that xm slowly and steadily adds subscribers, while sirius explodes somewhere between sept. and dec. 2004. It must be a coincident, but Howard Stern announced his move to sirius in october 2004.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A10953-2004Oct6.html

Maybe I'm missing something, but how can anyone say Howard Stern is irrelevant? I've heard it, you prefer a different show than Howards, What has Howard done lately?, Who gives a fuck, He did this lately! I dont see any other broadcaster(s) stepping up and accomplishing anything Howard has done, not now, not ever. Besides, O&A are way to old to catch up to Howard. I think Bob&Tom already got picked up by WGN, hell, its too late for O&A to catch up to Bob&Tom!LOL Fuck off you losers.

I'm sure Dman will attribute the marked rise in subscribers for Sirius to something else. Perhaps people thinking that O n A would be available on Sirius. Perhaps it's just a "spin" Mel and Stern conjured up to lie to people. After all anything positive that relates to Stern must be a lie and a scam.

Where's the press release announcing O n A are going to be on satrad? I didn't see that one. O n A can be tied to a minute increase in subscribers. 35,000 to 40,000 of 18 million. Now that's impressive! Let's be kind and bump it up to 100,000 listeners - .0055%. Now that's a draw.

O n A only wish they could be 1/10th of what Bob & Tom have done. But Bob & Tom suck. Yes they do, however they suck less than O n A. Perhaps they should set their sites a little lower. Let's see - Lex & Terry, nope they're too big. How about Young Ron & Paul, no, they're on two stations.

Frankly I can't think of anyone they could actually be compared to as everyone has more going on. Maybe Dman can spin something up in his delusional world.

First off, I like the fact you did some research this time around, it makes for a more informed discussion than 0.0 and Hoo-Hoo debates.

I looked at the PPT from Sirius and on a sidenote, the person who put the PPT together should have been fired, especially the way some of the graphs are crushed together, but that is just an observation.

So, with the information you provided, Stern announced the deal with Sirius on 10/6/2004.

The next sub numbers from the second link shows approx 1.1 subs as of 12/31/04 and continued to rise. When Stern went on the air 1/9/2006, there were approx 4 mil subs.

I must say that Sirius kept to their commitment of rapid growth, however, there is no indication that this is from Howard's announcement. He indeed brought subs with him, no doubt, but there is no information to claim how much of the jump is from him.

In order to assume that Howard has a majority of this jump, you would have to assume that all his fans uniformly bought Sirius at a steady pace of 20k subs per month.

The questions to ask is:

Why would Howards fans buy Sirius a year and a half before he left FM?

What other additions to Sirius occurred during that 04-06 time period?

There is no literature to say Howard didn't create that number jump, but also nothing to say he did either

Yeah Maybe Sirius ratings went up because Oral n Anal started on XM two days before.Is that date in your calender for a big celebration? Extra kool-aid maybe?
I remember the big hoopla centering around that major announcement - October 6 will go down in history!

What about the increased growth after Stern's show started? Is that somehow attributed to Oral n Anal?

I don't know how Stern could've stolen the spotlight just two days after the wonder twins started their show. Frankly you and about twelve of the other oral n anal worshippers are the only ones who know that date.

Hmm. Maybe Stern signing with Sirius generated interest in satrad (the whole point) and he generated sales due to the "new" awareness of a superior broadcasting medium (satrad) by millions of people who both listen to him daily and from the massive media coverage this story received.

While Stern's move was not that large an event, it may have just barely eclipsed anything oral n anal did for satrad including starting 2 days before his announcement.

You truly are delusional and unable to grasp reality. I guess it's hard from the basement while playing warcraft.

Sirius was installed in 2004 model cars as well, whats that got to do with anything? Why would you mention O&A, Bubba was on xm long before both of these guys, it seems to me that your argument has become more irrelevant than you think Howard is. You haters just cant stand the fact that someone you dont like has done well for himself, The fact is, Stern announced he was going to sirius, subcriptions go up, after the merger, more "best of" sirius packages are sold to xm subscribers. If you can give me a better explanation than "its pre-installed in new cars" I would love to hear it. Sirius was barely in new cars before 06' anyway, xm has always had the new car market. Please, I would love to hear a real explanation on how sirius manages to gain these subs with their subpar music programming and their irrelevant Howard Stern. Either make a point or give up already, I'm sick of spun opinions.

True, Bubba was on XM...but so was Phil Hendrie and a lot of other syndicated programs then owned by Clear Channel/Premiere Networks. It was just his syndicated show (which he was soon to be fired from), that was my point. O&A was the first show of its type to be exclusive to satellite.

My other point was that Howard Stern's name alone could not have been enough to get people to sign up 14 months early and wait for his show to begin when they could already get his show for free on terrestrial. Only an idiot would do that. As dumb as I think a lot of Howie's fans are, I don't think that poorly of them.

I had this long response to commonsense, but Ryan has not posted yet (Please Ryan, it was sent yesterday...)

Anyway, I too agree that very few people would actually pay for a service over a year ahead of time, just to wait for a show they could still get for free.

I can see a small group of people wanting to check out Sirius ahead of Stern, but millions?

I could reply point by point to your post, but frankly I have a job and don't have the time. It's not like you would listen anyway, since you brought up Warcraft (which I've never played, but you seem to know a lot about) and you need to get back into your own basement (I don't have one) to play with either it or yourself while listening to your god Howie.

It's enough to say that you're an idiot, you're wrong, and you Stern ass-kissers are proof that they shouldn't let chimpanzees have internet access.

I think that what no one is considering is that since Sirius at the time was struggling for subscribers and in competition with XM, it's entirely possible (and in fact, probable) that the numbers are falsely inflated. It's not unlike a large company to lie its ass off (as Sirius did to the FCC to get the "merger" pushed through) to make itself look better than it is. History will show that any company that employs someone called "Bubba the Love Sponge" is not a reputable establishment.

Well if you're posting at 1 pm it must not be too important a job. Perhaps you finished your paper route early.

I'd like to hear more delusional, skewed statistics claiming Oral n Anal's superiority.

Congratulations! You are a book of oral n anal knowledge. Too bad you wasted time learning about two irrelevant wannabe jocks that are on their way out.

I know nothing about warcraft, and never claimed to know. I can see how you think oral n anal are the best if your delusional mind can extract that I know a lot about warcraft from that sentence.

You are living proof that your mother should've swallowed.

All your comments involve the words "oral" and "anal". Is there something you'd like to tell us? It's not a crime to be gay...step on out of that closet. Don't be afraid. Homo.

I think their def. is a theme among the hoo-hoo drones.

Perhaps they should seek advice from their leader (when he feels like working) on what to do with their gay feelings.

Or better yet, perhaps they can't think of anything substantial to prove Stern is still of any use, so they resort to fudge packing references.

Tell em' Fred!!!! Robin, play tracks 3 through 5 so I can speak to Mel about my latest idea on rehashing my older shows. And Artie, keep degrading yourself, eventually someone will laugh. Wow it's been 3 days of work in a row, time for a week off!!! Bubba and Scott, kiss my ass while they fluff my wig!!!!

How much longer before Stern and his drones get a reality check when his contract is up?

You tell em Doorman.

Hey Opie I've got an hour of new material but that's it. So lets spend the second hour talking about how bad Stern is now and then maybe the third hour about how he was. Then we can bitch an moan about how we could be better if we only had a few more golden opportunities handed to us.

How much longer before the virus fans get a reality check?

What do O n A fans have to look forward to? What are they giving listeners now? Is anyone listening.

Stern fans will not switch to the virus when Stern retires. They'll cancel their subscriptions before paying to tune into that hack channel.

I always thought the oral n anal reference was appropriate and funny but not gay. It really shows your immaturity to have to always references homosexual tendencies. Peerhaps there is some hidden desires you both have.

Your reality check will arrive shortly.

A service they could get for free? What about fans in markets where he wasnt available? Just because you dont plan ahead does not mean other people do not. You are posting your comments as if they are facts. None of you have shown me proof that O&A have a reasonable following, its all opinions with you. You have it in your head that I'm a Stern fan, I am just interested in how you beleive that two gentlemen in their late forties are at some point going to overtake Stern as the most recognizable name in radio. They cant even outshine Bob and Tom for fucks sake. You would be better off not comparing O&A to Stern, perhaps compare them to someone like, well, I cant think of anyone in radio who is less important than them. Good luck with your opinions, they make no sense, I feel sorry for you. You must be tortured. You like to complain about about the Stern programming when they are on vacation, what do O&A play while they are on vacation? I really want an answer, not more of your opinons about a show you dont like or listen to. I really want an answer.

1. Stop sucking Howie's cock.
2. Take your Sirius unit and stick it up your ass. Do not unplug it first.
3. Get your own name, faggot.

Hey Artie...is this what you do when you're not kissing Howie's ass? It must be you, because no one else would spend so much time defending such a worthless hack show. You fucking troll.

If you were a man, you'd come up here with a name. Not a name that you stole from someone who's been using it for 15 YEARS. It's really easy to use a different fake name every time you post, but that also diminishes you, and it makes the readers not give your post any merit. It also makes you look like a scared little girl. People know who I am...I'm linked to this name and accessible. I've been using it forever. People don't know who you are because you're a worthless, frightened piece of crap.

Do not prove to the readers of Orbitcast (as you do with your ignorance of all things satellite radio) that you are an idiot as well as thief and a pussy.

Look me up on Live Journal or Twitter if you want to continue this. That is *if* you've got the guts...which you obviously do not.

Oh an internet tough guy. As opposed to a telephone tough guy. I'm shaking as I type this.

I didn't realize you trademarked your name however, I didn't steal "your name". I'm Smitebot, the Smite bot and you are a "boy". See the difference? You act like a child and well I mock you.

So you haven't had a life for 15 years. That explains your incessant devotion to the two biggest losers in radio - well if you don't count ron n pez.

An idiot, a thief and a pussy - doesn't that describe O n A? In plural of course.

Okay, here's the deal, son. I'm not going to keep coming back here to beat your ass. This is an old thread and I'm on to other things.

If you want to keep this crap up, feel free. If you want to be a man, respond to my Twitter or Live Journal. Let me know who you are. You can even get my e-mail address there. But you won't do it, because you couldn't be anonymous there. You can't just pretend to be someone else and run away there. You're a child.

Now go and suck Howie's sick some more. I'm done with you.

Not enough.

I never disputed the ratings. American Idol and Deal or No Deal are the top shows on TV, but I don't watch that shit. High ratings and quality do not go hand in hand, especially in radio. I never said Howie's ratings weren't higher than O&A. That's documented and it would be silly to argue. What I'm saying is that he is a fraud, his show is crap, and he hasn't been funny or original for years. My opinion, but it seems to be shared with many people here...not the majority of course, but the majority seems to be laden down with brainless sheep who laugh at every fart joke and fake phone prank. There's obviously an audience for this, but I'll remind you that Larry the Cable Guy and Carrot Top make millions of dollars too. It doesn't mean they don't suck...it just means that a hell of a lot of people don't know what's funny.

I don't think you Stern zombies even bothered to read my posts. I don't like Stern's show. He bores and annoys me. That's my preference and my right. I stated clearly that I'm not a daily O&A listener and hardly a pest. I'm a Ron and Fez listener who catches O&A semi-regularly because they're on the same channel. But I do find both O&A and Ron and Fez funnier and more interesting than Stern, hands down. I did mention that there are several people I'd chose over Stern *or* O&A. This shouldn't be an issue that keeps coming up...I've made it clear.

I think attacking anybody that says that Howie is irrelevant is a waste of your time...you're going to be fighting an increasingly large number of people the longer he's on. It will be a great day (and it won't be long) when he puts those false teeth back in the jar and hangs that awful wig in the closet for good.

I agree with your comment that is show is crap and hasn't been funny in years. I always liken it to the old farts who follow Andy Rooney on 60 minutes regularly. They started following back when he was funny, controversial and made 60 minutes the thing to watch on Sunday evenings. Howie is the same, years ago he was the man who made (and broke) all the rules. People followed him religiously...

Today, both Andy and Howie are still followed by those who started with them in the beginning, and only listen (or watch) out of respect for what they were. Be honest with yourself Howie fans, are you listening because the show is evolving, or because you are waiting for the "that's the Howie we used to know" moment?

If the show is evolving, why the two "best of" shows? Is that the best next step for a man die hard fans consider "innovative"?

I also see fans starting to recognize the show for what it is, a show that was supposed to make the best use of FCC free radio. What they wound up with was fake phone calls (these calls are illegal without first getting consent from the person being pranked), fart jokes, a drunk comedian on the floor, a hole that manages sound bytes and guests that owe Mel or Howie favors.

Like Smiteboy said, there are Howie fans on this site, but slowly and surely, the numbers are dwindling... ever wonder why?

Man, for someone who claims he has better things to do and is "over" some of the people posting you sure do spend a lot of time replying and posting.

It's obvious that this site is a major part of your life which in reality is pretty pathetic.

When I am attacked I respond. I'd love to leave this behind but people keep invoking my name and causing me to comment. It's a pain the ass to go back to threads that are three weeks old and keep suckas in check...but I do it because I love, and I care. You think cops like going back to the same broken ass crack house time after time? They do it because they were called there. It's their job.

As for the commenting, radio is one of the great passions of my life. I spend a lot of time on Orbitcast as well as other places. But apparently so do you. Face.

From what I've heard, O&A do the same thing most talk radio shows do when they're on vacation...reruns, usually with taped introductions to the segments by producers telling you what you're going to hear. I do believe that anything else would be dishonest, but I have no problems with reruns.

What bothers me about the specials that played when Howard was on vacation (and I didn't hear them) was that they were promoted as "new series", and it's not until the third paragraph down that it's fully explained that you're really just getting reruns with taped introductions.

Again, nothing wrong with reruns...but a "new series" should not contain reruns. That would be a transparent falsehood, as they say.

I believe they refered to these as "new series", because of the fact that instead of cast members announcing the segment, they had celebs talking about their favorite moments. The other show was a compilation of segments in which celebs admit to certain shit, "therapy" as its put in the article. I actually listened to some of this and found it very entertaining. I have said it in the past, most shows just play some sort of "best of" show that usually isnt any different than the last "best of", I thought this was a refreshing alternative.

DMAN, again, where do you get your facts? Both Bubba and Scotts show are replayed throughout the evening on 101, How much more airtime should they get? Where do you get the idea that the Stern show is a replay more than it is live? Is this another one of your opinions passed off as some sarcastic fact. Your shit is really getting old. It almost sounds like someone with a mental defiency is feeding this to you, or your the one with the problem. Are you going to defend another willy wonka qoute as O&A's? you are so fucking retarded!

Thank you SMITEBOY for the answer.

now now Common, no need for such language...

Just because all of us are showing Hoo-Hoo for the fraud and relic he is, doesn't mean you have to be angry.

Let's bring the others up to speed... first the Willy Wonka reference is a sound byte O and A play from the movie, never said and never will say they created the phrase.

Second, a replay (no matter how you shit coat it) is refreshing? Wow, you are easily entertained. How about two shows that contain original content? The man is making 100 million per year, he can do some extra heavy lifting for the money.

Here is an idea, go buy Private Parts, shove it into your DVD player and hit the "repeat" button. The first showing will be Howie's live show, the second showing could be "Best Of" and the third viewing you could hit "scene selection" and pass that off as "Common's favorite scenes".

You can probably sue the physician who is medicating you, he sure the hell isn't doing a good job if can be happy paying monthly fees for reruns, more reruns and new shows based on reruns.

You really are one stupid fucker! I was commenting that these new series were a refreshing change to the usual repeats every morning show plays while on vacation, including O&A. I have asked you in the past, but you refuse to answer, Are you 12 years old?

My point about the Willy Wonka qoute is that you dont realize every radio hack in the world uses that qoute. You seem to think that show is original. How ridiculous. Your a fan of a Stern rip off and you dont realize they play sound bytes from the fm radio grab bag. You really are one stupid fucker!

I pay for many programming choices, not just one thing, maybe you should change the channel every now and then. I dont listen to any talk show on a regular basis. They become repetitive, like you.

Yes, you are trading insults with a 12 year old. How does it feel to argue with a pre-teen? I have a feeling you may get off on this for some reason.

And my point about the Willy Wonka was I identified the O and A reference by the "Linger Longer" phrase the person wrote about. Again, never said that O and A solely used the "You lose, good day sir" bit and no one else did.

And I bet all my allowance money that you are hard on gay for Howard, even though you say you don't listen to any one talk show on a regular basis. You have done nothing but try shoving your two inch dick into anyone who has anything bad to say about Hoo-Hoo.

I am glad you are pissed and angry at me, it just shows that you are frustrated trying to prove to a dwindling crowd how relevant and funny the shriveled up Messiah has become.

So, let me go do my homework and you go continue to argue with 12 year olds.

WOW

Let the homosexual references fly. I guess you and the other nimrod smiteboy are the two fags here. You're not doing a good job of masking your gay fantasies and tendencies.

And how would you know he has a two inch dick. Did your little sister or your mom spill the beans (or the seed)?

It looks like you're the one who needs to grow up. I guess when you can't answer a question with a reasonable or factual response you have to take the hershey highway.

You're wasting too much time defending those two losers.

Stern was booked as a guest... No communist plot, no smoke and mirrors, no spin. Good for Stern, finally realizing he needs to actually work to get more subs instead of thinking he is the king of all media and having to do nothing for the money.

His mother told me about his dick and how I used mine better on her saggy ass...

I wasn't trying to be factual you literal ass... I was commenting on another post.

Read all the posts and replies, then comment, ok?

I have always said that I dont listen to talk shows on a regular basis, I have also said that I am a huge fan of radio in general, whether talk or music. You have always said that O&A are more talented and profitable, I will defend the fact that Howard Stern is clearly the top "shock jock" in America. That does not mean I have to listen on regular basis. History speaks for itself. You seem to think Stern is the only dj who takes vacation, you criticize Stern for trying to make his programming interesting while he's on vacation, yet you refuse to tell me what O&A do for their fans while on vacation.

The reason I have labeled you a twelve year old is because you cant seem to comprehend anything you read. Not to mention you make homosexual and penis references in an attempt to anger me because I called you a stupid fucker. Tough shit squirt. Learn how to understand what you read and write.

Actually, I make the homosexual and penis references just because I think they are funny, not anger you. But if they do, oh well...

O and A announce they are going on vacation. With Stern, only his fans know because they heard the show before.

A rerun is a rerun, plain as that. You can't repackage a rerun and make gold out of it. Not Stern, not O and A... nobody.

I and a growing number of people critize Stern because of his history. He created an empire successfully by giving people something to talk about. He prospered by taking people to the edge of their radios by being a true "shock jock".

He was on top for the longest time, and that is fine. However once other jocks such as O and A started becoming popular, Stern didn't step up his game, he got legal. Gag orders on radio teams working for the same company (as well as other companies) went flying everywhere. Stern's name and show was off limits to O and A, Imus and others.

Then when O and A were taken off air for the remainder of their contract (not fired, otherwise they would have been able to jump to XM sooner than 2 years), Howie had no problem having a field day with the O and A situation on his show.

Finally, it was O and A to be the first shock jocks to go to satrad, then Stern. Stern jumped up and down because O and A had the ability to talk about all the shit Howie put them through. Then the merger came...

Again, we find the same situation, O and A handed an order to be "nice" and not talk about their competition down the hallway. But Stern has free run of talking shit about O and A at will. Stern got Mel to advertise his free week on O and A's channel, but also got Mel to refuse the same for O and A's show.

The bottom line, history shows Stern cannot handle competition of any type, from anyone. He was great, however 100 million per year later, we find his fans treated to even less live shows per week and two new "rerun" shows.

I may think like a 12 year old, but it doesn't take anyone older than that to see Howie for who he truly has turned into. A once great, now shit part time jock who surrounds himself with a crew who do the heavy lifting for him. Wait two more years and we will all see his true colors...

O n A do a lot for their fans, all 12 of them. For example Opie dropped a $1 bill in Times Square and will pay $10k to the person who contacts him.

WOW now that's a promotion. Too bad the person who picked it up couldn't care less about those talentless hacks.

This is what they have to resort to? Paying people to listen or promote their "brand". Unfortunately, they aren't worth the paper the dollar is printed on.

Man it was excruciatingly painful to watch those two clowns on Jimmy Fallon. I wonder who they blew to get on that show. You could tell Fallon couldn't wait to get those losers off his show.

Yeah, Opie has to do his own show promotion because SiriusXM is broke from Mel and his legion of doom destroying satrad with horrible playlists, DJ's on every station, and don't forget about the 500 million dollar man.

Ron and Fez... Now 11am-3pm

He has to do it becuase no one cares or is interested in wasting time and money in a losing proposition. Frankly it's a lame promotion and it will probably go unpaid because no one knows or cares. Where did he get his personality from a car crash?

Watching those two nimrods for 5 minutes on Fallon's show was pure torture. I can see why their show fails miserably. No talent hacks. The word's "radio personality" couldn't be further from the truth.

ron n pez, come on. Give up on those two. They've sucked ever since Diaz (the other Ron) left. Even then Stern kicked their asses virtually overnight.

No Sirius subscriber would pay to hear those lame asses much less hear o n a.

Jason Ellis does a 4 hour show M-F on The Faction (Sirius 28 XM ??). It's refreshing radio and quite edgy, raw, and he keeps it real.Howard just had him on his show as a guest today. He is The Future!
