Jason Ellis joins The Virus

| 68 Comments
Jason Ellis"Red dragon!" Australian-born professional skateboarder, mixed martial artist and rising satellite radio star Jason Ellis will be expanding his reach this weekend when his show gets added to The Virus lineup.

Jason Ellis currently hosts The Jason Ellis Show on Faction (Sirius channel 28 and XM channel 52) weekdays from 3pm - 7pm ET.

The cutting-edge uncensored show, which tends to center around his extreme sports background that frequently drifts off-topic, has a growing fanbase (although polarizing: listeners either absolutely love him, or hate him).

And now Ellis is taking his high-energy style to The Virus channel on Sirius XM Radio.

Not Necessarily The Best of Jason Ellis will begin airing select segments from past shows every Saturday from 7pm - 9pm ET on The Virus (Sirius channel 197 and XM channel 202).

I used to love Bubba's show but, since the switch to censored radio, I now listen to Ellis. Ellis does a great show. I haven't listened to Bubba for months now.

Who Gives a Shit; Who Gives a Fuck. I'd rather listen to Octomom do a radio show. I'll cut my ears off, lick my hairy nipples, & blow Ryan Seacrest before I listen to this. Comment 1 out.

The one good thing about the merger has been discovering Ellis. When I first heard him, I was annoyed that a guy was talking on a music channel. I listened to hate him but his show hooked me in. He was talking about boating with his daughter. He's a really good storyteller and a nutjob. Fast paced show that some will love and as stated here, some will hate. Give him a chance on XM 52.

Jason Ellis now owns Orbitcast.com.

All hail to "The Future"

Nice ! I really will jerk off now ! Hey why arent they adding Bubba's show to any other channels on satRad? Is it that there is no need for a morning zoo show on Sirius xm ?

something needs to save that dying no talent channel

now all the pests will worship ellis like a god

baaaaaaaaaaaa sheep baaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'll give him a toss, but he sort of looks like Bubba 137 pounds ago

"Is it that there is no need for a morning zoo show on Sirius xm ?"

agreed!now maybe ellis can replace that zoo shit O&A failed experiment..let that shit show fail in obscurity on terrestrial..wait it already did

Is this the BIG NEWS?

(Hey ssssMel, You stink like sirius dog poo! I think you have found a way to push people over the edge (and drop their subscriptions). Your latest BS about BIG NEWS, and your lack of response to the iPhone application "delay" have done me in. You have lost me as a customer and I disrespect you for your silence. Don't think you can just wait and tell us all the BIG NEWS at one time. You are really messing up, in a BIG NEWS kind of way!)

He was awful on O&A yesterday and this will be a one shot deal. The vast majority of 202 listeners didn't like it, and O&A themselves were not impressed. They are stuck with this hack this weekend, but that will be it.

The guy is a hack and belongs on Howard's channels with the rest of his kind.

This is exciting, and really the only good thing for me out of the merger. It almost makes up for losing Fungus. Ellis is a perfect fit for the Virus. He's kinda like a late afternoon Red Bull after a laid back Ron & Fez show. Makes the day cruise by.

I just hope the rest of the pests give him a chance and don't just rip him on the boards like they do with nearly everything else. Ellis seems to be a pretty positive guy, and I'd hate to see things get wrecked by the message board tough-guy stuff.

He's not on Howard's Channels you cum stain. you talk about hacks....... Ron & Fez are the definition of hack's. wiki it, you'll see their pics. F*ck O&A, long live Howard.

I wanted to throw my radio out the window yesterday when he was on. What a boring, loud and annoying radio something.

I vowed never to tune into "Faction" all because of how he made me feel yesterday. A little extreme i know, but so was he.

Keep fighting till the end O&A lovers. O&A not impressed? Well I guess it's all over for Ellis then.

If he's not impressing no talent wannabe's then he's dong something right.

If O&A stimulates your sense of humor, it's time to just accept that you're a douche bag.

Actually there is no "leader of the pests" that's probably some other fucking troll for another radio show.

As a ONA/RNF fan he was OK, but just trying so hard and probably nervous, plus with Jim Jeffries on his ass, it didn't help. I'm sure he's better in his natural environment versus a call in.

Well, so much for pests not being way too negative out of the gates.

Ellis is definitely Virus-type radio, where you hate it initially, and then you realize it's ok, and then you're telling everyone you know about it. I guess the board folks are just happy with their incestuous little world, and don't want to let anything new into it.

It's sad, in the past O&A fans would be happy to try something new and suppport guys that O&A like. If they started to hype a show with hosts that sound like a dude out of goodfellas, and another dude that sounds like Paul Lynde, the pests would be screaming "Those queers are hacks!" At WNEW, the fans grew to love those guys, anticipated crossover shows, and built the Virus we have today..

It's kinda sad that the fans the boys attract now aren't able to stretch out and try new things. It's the same reason Ronnie B. is always complaining about callers. Everyone's trying to be Jimmy or Ant and not enjoying what they're listening to.

Oh well. Enjoy your time on the Virus, Ellismate. You're the future.

Hilarious

This Howard vs. O&A shit has really gotten old. No one cares whose team you're on. Howard and O&A don't give a shit whose team you are on either. Go to your message boards and fight it out there. This post was just an announcement that Jason Ellis will be playing on the Virus on Saturday, not who's cooler O&A or Howard. You guys are fighting over multi-millionaires who couldn't give less of a fuck about you. Most of you posting this nonsense are 30+ years old. In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter which millionaire you support. No, not really. Grow up and move on.

That being said, where is the BIG Sirius/XM news that was going to be revealed this week? I hope it isn’t that Howard and O&A have been let go. How would the world continue to turn?

A BOO!!!

You know, I honestly wonder what O&A and Howard's typical message board fans do for a living. Who has the time to troll around and rip each other as much as they do?

Also, I don't understand where the O&A aren't impressed comes from? Ellis wasn't forced on them, in fact Opie hand picked him for this spot on the network.

There were points were I really liked his appearance on the O&A show and points where I felt it was confusing and incoherent. I'll give it a shot though. He seems like he'll do well!

Don't forget, Ron and Fez - noon to 2:40ish.

Ellis was on Bubba this morning,,oh no!what is the pest army(joke) to do???????

"O&A didnt seem impressed"

good god,the most idiotic post on orbitcast has been revealed!

How would you know if they were impressed or not? Let me guess, your one of the high ranking fans that gets info right from O&A... Bullsh*t.

Opie has been listening to Jason's show for awhile now & is very impressed. That shouldn't be news to you if you ever look to see what Opie has to say.

The whole PEST thing is dead man, just let it go. I'm still a fan, but I'm done fighting Anthony's fights for him. Ant doesn't even give a sh*t about the show or the fans anymore so why keep wasting your time?

Ron & Fez Noon to Three.

I have been disappointed over and over with the changes since the merger. Channels going away, channels merging, etc etc. WTF happened to the punk channel, oh we needed an AC/DC channel, that's right. I am a die hard O&A fan and that was the reason I bought my XM years ago. Recently my girlfriend turned me on to Jason Ellis on Faction. At first I was unsure but the more I listened the more I loved his show. He really is in touch with our generation. Unfortunately this monopoly that somehow legally happened has somewhat screwed those like my GF who has Sirius in here NEW vehicle. Now she will have to pay extra to get the Virus, since we really could give a rats ass about Howard who really is lost in reality kinda like McCain.

RED DRAGONS

Oh Man, those boobs are spectacular !

honestly, ellis has the best show on satellite and he is the only reason i haven't canceled my subscription. all hail the present and the future!

After the merger and channel reorganization, I put Faction on my list of favorites. I was pissed a couple times originally that a radio show was on a music channel, but when I started listening to it I realized just how funny he is. Its a completely different type of show from O&A, yet I think they fit. Again its a love it or hate it kinda thing, just like O&A can be. I didn't know what Ellis had going on with other radio shows, so it was nice to see that he's getting some respect from O&A. I personally welcome it, and would like to see him do afternoons from 3-7 on 202 and then get the one O&A replay from 7:30-12. That would make me very happy.

This guy was one of the reasons I could not stand the Sirius version of Octane. He use to be on Octane in the mornings and was one of the most annoying, pathetic, and worst DJ's I ever heard. He is cancer to the ears. I never listen to The Virus and this gives me so much less incentive to do so.

2009 debt resolved w/ Liberty boys. this is the best news we have seen since??? Brandon Mathews is a joke and should stop following siri now. Tyler Savery has worthless views.

Finally some talent on that channel. They should go ahead and change it to the Jason Ellis channel as Oral n Anal are fading back into obscurity. Oral n Anal need to pick a successor because they're not cutting it.

Oral hand picked Ellis. That's about the funniest thing I've heard. You have to have some talent to recognize talent and he couldn't recognize talent if it was humping his leg.

Haven't heard much about the stellar Oral n Anal ratings at WXRK. I guess with the station being 21st in the market there isn't much to say. How much longer before they are dumped and will be forced to either podcast or relocate to a smaller market they can actually handle? I hear the weather in Guam is pretty nice.

Damn. I was hoping this crap would be yanked off Faction rather than just being cross-promoted (and on the weekend, to boot, a time when The Virus often finds itself pre-empted for sports coverage, anyway).

If, for some inexplicable reason, this show absolutely has to continue, there's no reason it can't continue on a channel built to showcase programs of its ilk. Especially, of course, when there are several such channels on the SXM platforms already.

As it stands, though, SXM is trying to pump listenership of a talk show on a music channel. By promoting it on a talk channel. You know, a channel that plays talk programs. Like the Ellis program. Which normally runs on a music channel. But doesn't play music. On a music channel.

It's just mindbogglingly stupid.

Talk belongs on talk stations. That's why they're called "talk stations". Music belongs on music stations. That's why they're called "music stations".

The fact that terr-rad lost sight of this years ago (there was a time earlier in this decade that the top two alt stations and the top rock station in my area all had morning programs that didn't play music!) was and remains a primary motivator in getting people to seek out terr-rad alternatives you didn't get your music in someone else's talker or your gabfest in someone else's rocker.

They're two great tastes that taste like crap together.

And, now that SXM has seen fit to deliberately ape terr-rad's error, they're two great tastes that are driving people to the Next Big Thing.

Unbe-frickin'-lievable.

Was it REALLY hilarious, or just a sad attempt at being funny?

A BOO!

I wonder if this was part of mel's evil plans?

The Virus is spreading! The Ellis Virus. Pock-faced wannabes and Ellen Degeneres lookalikes get off his channel.

Ron and Fez are hacks. That is the worst radio show on the planet. Maybe Jason Ellis can take over for them.Look for those two to be gone when their contract is up. What a wast of money.

Also this is to leader of the pests. You actually call yourself that? What are you 12 man? Get a job...... Move out of your moms basement and try a real girlfriend. That chic your talking to online is a dude I bet.

Since Bubba jumped the shark, Jason has filled in nicely. Pretty darn good show.

Rando -

Are you asking me Who ?

The one on the left - WOW

To Quote These Fans Suck: "Don't forget, Ron and Fez - noon to 2:40ish."
Now that they are doing more live reads, they go to more like 2:50ish instead of 2:40ish.

SXMInvester,

I dare anybody not to agree with your learned appraisal of those magnificent mounds. If, by some miracle, I end up going to heaven, those are the first two things I want to see as I enter the Pearly Gates!

No, I saw the tits...nice.

But...Jason Ellis? I even heard him on O&A and I still have no idea who he is.

I want to breast feed

SXMInvester,

Down boy! Oh.... what the hell; I was thinking the same thing. Keep me abreast of any further developments.

Hey Steve O - Do they look like that in your town? I seem to remember some comical descriptions of your city.

Is that one of your cousins ?

Steve O - I am not being insulting. You have made me crack up in the past with your interpretations, so hope you did not take it wrong. Give me a good laugh !

O@A HATE this guy. Its another segment; "cross promo" that sirius is shoving down their throats. The fans see through it and the way O&A sell it, it is obvious. Things like this become an agreement between fans and the show just to shut corporate up. Bottom line, his programming will fail on the channel, and he will go back to doing his horrible screaming radio spots on whatever shitdog station sirius has created.

SXMInvester,

First of all, if that sweet thang was my cousin, I would have to give up my ban on incest and devote the rest of my life to being her buxom buddy. Just looking at her makes me reminisce about one of my favorite TV shows from the past, "Twin Peaks." There are 8 wonders of the world - correct? Well, now there are officially 10! If they could install airbags like those into all the new cars, the auto crisis would be over in a heartbeat! I would go out of my way to hit something on the way out of the dealers lot, just so I could deploy those babies! Raise my insurance - see if I care.

There is nothing like her in my town - not by a long shot. The women I work with have sideburns and shave their backs at least once a week. The only person I personally know with tits that big is the guy I work for, "Ed." He goes 5'9" and about 330. I work with about 9 or 10 women( I use that term lightly; most of them look like they should be grazing on the Serengeti) and I have a nicer ass than all of them. What's that razor chicks use to shave their legs... the Venus or something? These chicks have to use weedwackers and hedge trimmers before they can even think of finishing the deforestation project with some dainty razor! These chicks around here don't shop at Victoria's Secret or Frederick's of Hollywood - the all pile into a Silverado and head for Home Depo to buy their bras and panties. There's nothing sexier than when a chick squats down and the top of her thong says "Carhartt." They all drive pick ups, watch football and hocky, and come into the place wearing steel toe work-boots. I went to a local Walmart the other day and it looked like a petting zoo. The women looked like Mickey Rourke in "The Wrestler."

Nobody loves women more than I do, but the hideous hirsute pigs that live in this area belong to some species that can't possibly be human. I am a desperate man, in need of a real women. I'm going to have to start trolling for real chicks on the internet, because hell will freeze over before the tainted gene pool here in Appalachia north produces anything resembling a female.

SXMInvester,

Ooops! Anonymous = Steve O = forgot to sign in! Just so you know (as if you didn't).

Good stuff and the "right move". Hopefully, he's in the same time slot, as he's become my drive-home-from-work listen.

Ironically, Ellis has caused me to give Faction a preset, where I might normally not have done so. (Hey, its not much of a kudos, but I do only have a few presets to dole out)

Oh that was great Steve O - I almost shit myself reading that. I am fortunate to live on the West Side of LA, but trust me I know what your saying because I'm from the East Coast and my family has a house in NH in the sticks and most woman drive pickups, are missing teeth, are hauling lumber to build their out house and carry their children under their arms. The kids someontimes hang on their armpit hair and the husbands are stuck in the crack of their ass. I've gone into stores like Steinmart and the only size they sell are 16W and higher and it's not because they sold out of the normal sizes. And if those sizes run out, they just go to the tents in the camping area.

Yeah the internet might be the best option than your local home depot - petting zoo LOL

Anyhow it looks like SiriusXM has turned the corner & maybe we can all sleep at night finally not worrying that are investments will go to 0. I'm just hoping for .50 cents in 6 months right now & we'll take it from their. Hartlieb and the try&destroysirius crew could go %$&@%!&%! Mel pulled off a few minor miracles in the past 6 months.

SXMInvester,

That was hilarious! I have teary eyeballs - I can hardly see the keyboard from laughing so hard. I feel comforted knowing that you can relate to the hell I have to deal with. The chicks around here pierce their nipples with fish hooks, just so they wont have to carry a tackle box. I wouldn't mind tackling the broad on the left and reeling her in!

I bash Mel, but I do realize that he has overcome one roadblock after another, starting with the criminal merger delay. The promise of satellite radio has not yet been realized, and I hope all of us can rejoice when it thrives and flourishes like it would have by now if circumstances had been different. Thanks for the laugh - I needed it!

"I have been disappointed over and over with the changes since the merger. Channels going away, channels merging, etc etc. WTF happened to the punk channel, oh we needed an AC/DC channel, that's right."


You should write and voice your opinion to Sirius....

...not that they will care nor even admit that you are amongst a
large group of subscribers that have been voicing their displeasure
for a long time.

However, it's good to get complaints documented and more people
who are dissatisfied with the dumbing down of music programming
around here should let Sirius know. Of course, at Sirius, "The Customer
is always wrong!"

BTW, I welcome Jason Ellis aboard the Virus -- not that I even intend to listen to him.

No fan of Ron & Fez but Jason Ellis isn't better then anyone. There are talentless hacks all across the Sirius XM platform but Jason Ellis is no doubt at the very bottom in talent. What a waste of time, money, and air.

FINALLY... A comment worth reading!!!!

All I can say is that if Jason Ellis has no talent then he's on the right channel. He'll fit right in with the rest of the losers on the virus.

I still think Jason will take over the virus as he's still far more listenable and interesting than any of the other clowns on that channel.

If you want to talk about of waste of time, money and air then there is one word that sums it all up - virus.

I woke up this morning, turned on Sirius/XM (I have it on all night long, actually), and went to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I usually have cereal, a banana, and some orange juice. For some reason I had an icredible craving for some large, ripe melons! I can't wait for them to be in season - I'm gonna get me a couple. I think orgasmic.... er... organic would be the way to go - don't you think?

My point is this - get satellite in the house and let it fill your crib with non stop melodious tunes. You will love it, and wonder why you didn't listen outside of the car in the first place.

All HAIL SIRIUS/XM !!!

Agreed on the O&A fans vs Howard fans gag. This shit is so old. I never liked Howard, even before O&A, but you'd never see me fight somebody just because they like another radio show. Focus on something else fellas, and you just might move out of your parent's basement this year.

Jason should have been aborted.

I don't understand what the big deal is. He is ALREADY on SiriusXM. Why is announcing that he is going to be on another channel big news? This whole merger thing is confusing.

I WANT BASEBALL!!!!! Announce that shit!!! GIVE ME BACK BASKETBALL!!! Announce that shit!!!!

Don't tell me that the same content on one channel is going to be on another.

Fuck all of you , Ellis rules. Get these ballz !!!

Ron and Fez are the greatest. East Side Dave? Stunt Genious. Pepper Hicks? Hipster Genious. Mooch Cassidy? Musical Genious. Ron Bennigton is the quickest comedian out there, and Fez Whatley is just BACK! (Still trying to figure out his secret though). These guys are going to be around forver, because the R&F fan base is strong, deep, and SHOWS UP for their heroes. If R&F left the Virus, the countless message boards devoted to these radio gods would figure out another way to listen to them every day. There's a bunch of comments above about how R&F are hacks, no talent, etc... the best thing about R&F and their fans is that hating doesn't bother us and it doesn't matter. We're not going to try and convince you, it's our best kept secret and we benefit, not you. Everyone hating on the show, bounce. Or, get bounced by Ted's bounce emporium. Ron & Fez Powers ACTIVATE! Oh yeah, good luck Jason Ellis, come on R&F and see if you can keep up.

He will be on O & A tomorrow. He is THE Future of radio!

RED DRAGONS!!!

Ellis is awful and does not deserve to be on O&A's channel. He is so f-ing fake! A perfect fit for old grandma's sterns shit channels.

RED DRAGONS!

Hail to the Future.

Red Dragons! All Hail The Future!

shut the f- up dont listen to it u retard

Jason Ellis is entertaining, howard sucks so bad, i hate his face and his shitty voice. Jason is the future of radio!
