Mel Karmazin to visit Howard Stern and Opie & Anthony shows

This should prove to be interesting.

Who cares. Why is he talking to the retarded Howard Stern fans first?

He should be talking to wall street and main street first. He should be on CNBC and FOX and Cramer first.

Not the retards at the Stern show.

I wANT TO SEE HIM RIP CRAMER A NEW ASSHOLE BEFORE HE KISSES HOWARDS ASS.

XM Announces BuyBack On 9.75% Senior Notes
July 29, 2008 (10:48 pm) Tyler Savery

In an interesting move that will further help clean up the merger process, XM Satellite Radio Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIRIUS Satellite Radio Inc., announced today that it is offering to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 9.75% Senior Notes due 2014 (CUSIP No. 98375YAS5) (the “Notes”), on the terms set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 29, 2008.

The tender offer will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2008, unless extended. The total consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn will be 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment in the tender offer will also receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the payment date, expected to be promptly after the offer expiration date.

XM intends to use cash on hand to facilitate the purchase.

Very helpful explanation from Homer985 (http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_S/threadview?m=te&bn=22318&tid=3655700&mid=3655700&tof=13&frt=1#3655700)

Actually, no -- I will try and explain everything one final time as best I can...
XM had about $1.5 billion in puttable debt -- which means, if XM changes control, the debt holder could force the company to buy back the debt. So XM had to refinance almost all of their debt...

Incedentally, Karmazin had nothing to do with the refinancing, as the companies had to sign confidentiality agreements to keep each others "business" and "finances" away from each other until after the merger is consumated. So while Mel was probably aware of what XM was doing -- he was not the facilitator, as that would be against the law.

First, XM offered an increase in the interest coupon on their $400 million in 1.75% convertible notes that mature in December 2009 -- up to 10%. Those holders agreed, so XM changed the indenture on these notes.

Second, XM offered to repurchase $400 million of their $600 million in 9.75% Senior Notes with cash... and issue a "new" exchange note for the final $200 million, which would have an identical coupon of 9.75%.

To come up with the $400 million in cash, XM did a new debt offering. There was one stipulation -- and that was, if this new note offering exceeded the $400 million, then every dollar higher had to be used to repurchase the remaining 9.75% notes. We since learned that this debt offering went really well -- and was "oversold" all the way up to $700 million. So XM had to use $600 million of it to buy back all of the $600 million in 9.75% Senior Notes. The problem here was that the coupon on these was run up to 13%... ouch. But these are tough times... so instead of $600 million at 9.75%, they now have $700 million at 13%.

There was no interest rate at 15% or 16%. That was a misunderstanding by many who mistook the discussion of the Yield to Mature, as the interest rate. The YTM will almost always be higher than the interest rate. In fact, the new Senior notes above have a coupon of 13% and a YTM of 16%.

Third, XM put together their final piece of refinancing -- by issuing $550 million worth of new exchangeable notes (aka, convertible notes). Problem here, is that most buyers of convertible notes are Hedge Funds -- who short the common stock agains the purchase of the convertible debt, in an arbitrage investment play... but Sirius is on the REG SHO list and has no shares available to short. So XM got Sirius involved, to "lend out" up to $440 million worth of their shares to the Hedge Funds, so that they can short the common against their Debt purchase. Without Sirius lending out these shares, the interest in buying this debt would drop greatly -- and cause XM to lower the conversion price and increase the interest rate offer on them.

So today we learn that they priced the conversion price of the convertible debt at $1.875/share; and priced the offering price of the loaned out shares to be sold at $1.50. This combination allowed XM to get an interest rate of 7% on this new $550 million in debt.

This $550 million will be combined with the remaining $100 million from the other debt placement -- and used to buy back the $200 million in Floating Rate debt; and $310 million that is owed on the Transponders of XM-4, which were sold last year in the leaseback agreement.

This leaves XM with $140 million remaining -- which I believe XM is using to replenish the $120 million in cash that XM used to deposit in their MLB escrow account.

All money raised in these two offerings has now been used to refinance/buy back older debt.

Classy move by Mel

I am hoping that this means both Stern and O&A will be able to co-exist on the same service. I can't imagine that if O&A were not going to be part of Sirius XM, Karmazin would not be making an appearance on the show. Must be contract negotiations are ongoing, or maybe done.

I know Stern and O&A fans are not the best of friends, but I hope this is a step in the right direction fir the two shows, even though the fans will continue to hate one another. I am looking forward to being able to listen to both.

there is a big difference between how this merger affects subscribers and shareholders. For subs it's great. More choice, cheaper prices.

But for shareholders its the kiss of death. You BROKE MY HEART FREDO! YOU BROKE MY HEART!

We shareholders are dead. We are going to be taken out to the middle of the lake and shot in the back of the head like Fredo.

PPS will go to zero. Bancrupcy. Mel will then rename the stock and start fresh. SELL NOW or die like Fredo.

I was a die hard long who is going to make it my lifes purpose to save people from investing in this money pit.

Mel will use your money and then toss you aside.

Thats why Cramer the F UCK said the company is a powerhouse but the common stock will disappear.

GET OUT NOW WHILE YOU CAN.

THERE IS NO MORE SUCH THING AS A LONG WITH THIS STOCK. ITS OVER! PLEASE GET OUT NOW...I WANT T SAVE YOU MONEY AND YEARS OF PAIN LIKE I HAD!!!!

MEL IS GOING ON HOWARD TO LAUGH AT US!

F UCK THEM. SELL ALL YOUR SHARES. EVERYONE. SELL THEM ALL BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. HURT MEL BEFORE HE HURTS YOU!

Mel is just coming to see me. Us high-level power brokers need to meet in an appropriate setting. Of course my recommendation to Mel is to SELL! NOW THAT YOU OWN THE JOINT, SELL IT AND MAKE A KILLING! Wow, that's the first time I've actually made sense.

Hey, that last comment was from me, Boardroom Jimmy! Somebody fire the guy who runs this website!

I'm hopeful

HOPE is a dangerous word when it comes to stocks. And with Sirius it is the kiss of death.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE....DO NOT GET INTO THIS STOCK. TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO LEARNED THE HARD WAY. I AM NOT A SHORT. I JUST WANT TO SAVE YOU FROM THE SAME FATE I SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THIS STOCK. RUN! IF YOU OWN....SELL.

YOU THINK YOU CAN'T LOSE ANYMORE??? THATS WHAT I THOUGHT AT $7 then $5 then $4 then $3....then $2....NOW it's at $1.50.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BOTTOM WITH A STOCK DESTINED FOR BANKRUPCY.

GET OUT NOW. PLEASE. I BEG YOU. It IS MY MISSION IN LIFE TO SAVE PEOPLE FROM THIS STOCK.

This is Mel 's trial run , before going on T.V.

can't wait to see the drivel from the zombies on this.

Hurricane Kamarin has rolled into the Howard Stern Show right now. (as of 7:53am EDT)

Sorry for your loss Liam. But $1.50 IS THE BOTTOM. At least until one of the satellites gets knocked off its orbit by a meteorite. In all likelihood, the stock will fluctuate between $1.50 and $1.87 for few weeks until a few more positive ANALysts weigh in. Plus I'm certain that Cramer will soften his stance any day now - not that it matters anymore.

I just listened to Mel for the last half-hour on Howard's show.

Sirius XM is close to being the largest radio company in the world - as we speak.

Howard said he will never go back to crap-FM radio under any circumstances.

And apparently, Mel lost a lot of weight over this merger as well as sleep.

I only lost $100K

Well the love fest is over on the Howard Show. Nothing really notable...just Howard and Robin on their knees with their faces around Mel's waistline.

The only notable thing came at the very end Karmazin said that employees have nothing to worry about" and they have "a huge facility with 1,000 employees in Washington DC that they will keep operating". Yeah right. That's Cumulus and ClearChannel talk right there which means a fire sale is inevitable. He's meeting with employees at 10:30am EDT today to discuss things. Probably one of those reassuring talks like "you have nothing to worry about...it's a great time to be in satellite radio...you are here because you are important to this new combined company...and so on." Meanwhile, Hurricane Karmazin keeps swirling around along the East Coast.

Now we'll see what he has to say on O&A during the 9:00am EDT hour.

Well, for the first time in two months, I'm actually starting to feel better about this whole nightmare.

Mel sounded good this morning..

I think it's safe to say that O&A aren't going anywhere, just as I had said. Now you pests can stop pretending the O&A are such tortured martyrs that always has to fight the system. I really don't think Mel would go on their show if he had planned on booting them.

Now sit quietly and enjoy your little show.

"Now sit quietly and enjoy your little show."

Thank You JJJ-I will

I will also be on Ron & Fez from noon to three. Looking to see how much work Black Earl does (or doesn't) do

Looks like neither show will be leaving so all you worthless super fans can go back to your basements.

hopefully mel will call bubba from o&a's studio to let him know he can leave anytime he wants.don't let the door hit you in the ass bubba

Looks like neither show will be leaving so all you worthless super fans can go back to your basements. nanner nanner!

Looks like neither show will be leaving so all you worthless super fans can go back to your basements. nanner nanner!

OK Belt yourselves in!

OK Kids, belt yourselves in!

Ron & Fez? Who ever they are they are through when it comes to satradio.

WOW, Mel's getting laughs.

Things are looking good..

"Did you come here to bring us pink slips?"

Mel: "Absolutely not".

Great comment AC. You've never heard the R&F show but according to you they don't deserve to be on. Stupid shithead.

Well Hoo Hoo fans that posted hundreds of times of O&A being fired, what's your spin now?

@ jOhn, besides posting the same thing 3 times was it supposed to be funny? You know, the totally original and hysterical "mom's basement" joke? The only thing going on in my basement is depraved sex when your mom stops by.

Investors give new Sirius-XM combo rude greeting
Associated Press
July 29, 2008, 5:08PM

As the purchase of XM Satellite Radio by larger rival Sirius Satellite Radio closed today, questions remained over whether the combined company can handle its $3.4 billion in debt — including $1.1 billion due next year.
Also murky was how quickly the two companies can mesh their technologies without angering consumers.
Most radios that play programming from Sirius and the former XM Satellite Radio Holdings are sold for cars, in before- or aftermarket installations, and automakers are notoriously slow to integrate new audio technology.
The nation's only two satellite radio companies have combined to become Sirius XM Radio, based in New York, and trades under the ticker symbol SIRI, which used to belong to Sirius. Mel Karmazin, the chief executive of Sirius, will take the same position at the new company.
Investors sold off Sirius shares today at their lowest price in nearly five years.
"The new company is going to face a lot of hurdles, both operating as well as financing," said Tuna Amobi, a Standard & Poor's analyst in New York.
He was disappointed by Sirius' accumulation of 280,000 net new subscribers for the second quarter, not as robust a figure as he had hoped for. Amobi is also concerned about higher interest payments.
Sirius' $1.3 billion of debt hasn't changed, but XM has taken on more debt and replaced some existing debt with other borrowing that carries much higher interest rates. XM has $2.1 billion in total debt, up from $1.7 billion at the end of March, according to company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Analysts had been counting on savings from the combination to offset higher debt costs, especially since neither company has ever made an operating profit.
While Sirius expects to save $400 million and post adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of more than $300 million next year, its comments about free cash flow troubled analysts.
Sirius expects to post positive free cash flow in 2009 but only after excluding satellite capital expenses. That implies its free cash flow will be negative if satellite expenses are included, said Shilpa Parandekar, senior bond analyst at Moody's Investors Service in New York.
She also noted that about $1.1 billion of debt is due in May 2009. Both companies' credit ratings are under view for a possible downgrade.
"We felt the momentum was downward," Parandekar said.
As they waited one and a half years for regulatory approval, the companies also have remained silent on many of the details of how they would combine their programming.
One known consumer benefit is the new ability to pay for only the channels one chooses, known as a la carte programming.
That service will require new or modified radios, and executives promised to sell such radios available at retail within three months. But most new satellite radio customers don't buy their radios at retail because they come pre-installed in automobiles.
The companies haven't offered a timeline for automakers to install radios that allow a la carte programming, said Bob Williams of the Consumers Union, which opposed the merger.
"The (satellite radio) industry has a history of promising things and then letting it go by the wayside," Williams said.
Nathaniel Brown, a spokesman for XM, declined to comment on programming. But the company has said several new options, including a "best of both" service for $17 a month — compared to the current price for one of the services at $13 a month — will be available to customers with older radios.
Sirius and XM have refused to say which programming that service will include.
For instance, there is no guarantee that Howard Stern will be available to XM customers or that Sirius customers will see Major League Baseball games.
Combining all sports programming onto one network could prove difficult. For example, XM provides NHL coverage and Sirius coverage of the NBA. Because those seasons overlap and so many games are played every night, it may prove difficult to find bandwidth to broadcast every game.
Also, while it may seem obvious that the new company would include popular programming like Stern's show or Major League Baseball in its "Best of" package, XM and Sirius never disclosed whether the contract with Stern, for example, would require higher payouts if more people can hear him.
So the new company's costs could rise if it makes its top-tier talent accessible on both services.
Williams said such unanswered questions ought to compel the FCC to regulate the companies closely as it moves forward.
"It really calls for the FCC to not just sit on the sidelines," he said. "We don't have much reason to think they actually will get involved, but they really need to be on the case."

Its going good but....

I wish Opie would back off abit

PS-Save Ron and Fez

I don't know who "Ron & Fez" are, but based on these boards, I hate them already.

Ron & Fez Noon to 3

Ron & Fez Noon to 3

Oh No! Things are picking up for Sirius XM, maybe we should get out on those boards and throw some more untruths around.

Hey, let's use that old "they are out of money" thing. Nope, can't say that anymore.

Let's try "They are going to fire everyone". Nope, can't say that anymore.

Let's try the "Bash the stupid stock holders" Nope, can't say that anymore.

I give up. Let's just buy shares in hopes that it goes up to pay off those lawyers.

I'm a Stern fan who said from the beginning that O&A wouldn't be fired. I just laugh at the pests who think O&A are some some kind of "tortured artists" who are always being put down by "the man".

"I don't know who "Ron & Fez" are, but based on these boards, I hate them already.

Posted by: Mat"

Mat from reading some of your past posts-I don't think it matters what you think

Never heard of Ron and Fez. I agree Mat based on the posts here they suck and deserve to be fired. Chances are they won't get a show and that is good.

I wish I could have heard Mel on Sterns show because this interview on OnA is great. It sounds as if their talk shows are what Mel really wants to push so why would OnA and RnF be canned? Hell, why even can Bubba? I'm still nervous and will be so until I find out that OnA and RnF are safe. Also, I want to add Sterns channel when that's available too.

Mel always has been fun to listen to on the radio.

It's over. O&A aren't getting pink slips! Bubba I bet is pissed.

I came away from that interview a little relieved.

I didn't post that basement comment three times either, damnit. Must have been my connection or someone posing as me.

I'm not so sure. I live blogged it at www.yourmomsbox.com

thj

Bubba can go if he wants-But I really enjoy Ron and Fez. O and A are not leaving but Mel didn't really say that much about Ron and Fez--so its still a wait and see---We have to make sure Fez Marie has a job

It's all about money, HS is a big stock holder, so if Mel tells HS this is going to make money, he'll be fine with it!! It's all about Dollars and Cent's!!!

Mel was just on CNBC. Here is a link to the video.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=808001565

Really nothing new but he did admit near the end that the stock sucks right now and that he is embarrassed by it.

Don't worry Mel I think all the share holders are embarrassed.

There aren't 18 million subscribers.

There are 12 million humans, tops.

I just turned off most of my "family plan" XM and Sirius radios.

So will the rest of us dual subscribers.

GOOD LUCK BRO.

god i hope they keep o and a and the dumb fuck bubba leaves because they get resigned.

just give me baseball, everything else can go away

bubba is a fruit

"It's over. O&A aren't getting pink slips! Bubba I bet is pissed."

lol then where is the contract.

based on what regular radio is paying O&A i doubt they will sign.

Must upset the Howard fans that the Mel-O&A talks went just swimmingly.

Ronnie are we OK?? Rude and Rude!!!

Mel was just throwing 0.0 a mercy fuck...those hacks will almost certainly be told behind the scenes...give up having to work a second job...or else you're gone

Mel was just throwing 0.0 a mercy fuck...those hacks will almoBLAH BLAH BALH BLAH BLAH BLAH

@Jack

You feel better now having posted a witty comment on Orbitcast?

Thanks for the intelligent post, I can continue my day.

I know who Ron & Fez are and listened. All I can say is good riddence....the most useless radio show I have ever heard. One host thinks he knows everything..the other doesn't say more the 5 sentences a show....pathetic.

PNess makes his return. What a boob. You do know a contract takes weeks at least to hammer out right? Hoo Hoo doesn't have a contract extension either, he must be gone in a couple of years right? I'd put an "lol" here but only fucking complete queers do that.

One host that thinks he knows everything..... reminds me of a certain egotistical overpaid has-been.

Hopefully Ron and Fez will survive the merger. Even better would be Bubba following through on his words and leaving Satellite radio with O&A staying.

I know who Howard Stern is and listened. All I can say is good riddence....the most useless radio show I have ever heard. A host who thinks he knows everything and a hole that doesn't say more the 5 sentences a show....pathetic.

Hmmm. Where are all the Howie fans spewing the "0.0" rhetoric? Funny - when reality finally rears its head, the O&A detractors are nowhere to be found.

Just yesterday all the flamers were on here going "Zero.Point.Zero. They suck. Worthless. They'll be fired. Howard rules." Hoo hoo.

Suddenly, Mel shows up on O&A and it becomes clear that they'll be resigned and Camp Howie is a ghost town. Kinda hard to spin this one isn't it losers? You fail.

PNess idiotically said: " "It's over. O&A aren't getting pink slips! Bubba I bet is pissed."

lol then where is the contract.

based on what regular radio is paying O&A i doubt they will sign."

Dumbass, Mel said he hasn't even seen the contract and that all of that had been shelved for months. Mel also said he would get the talks started. How dumb you sound when you make shit statements on interviews you don't listen to.

I only caught the end of Mel's interview on O&A...Thought it went well. Mel gave us hope on O&A being kept, and I got the impression that, if nothing else, we might be able to get SOME NFL content on XM in the near future, even if we don't get all the games...That might not be too bad. Looking forward to catching the beginning the interview from the beginning during the reply tonight.

I don't know...Norton's Charlie Rose question could be enough to get him fired though. Yuck.

Ron and Fez 12 - 3

All you Siriots are going to become UBER FANS OF THE GREATNESS THAT IS RON AN FEZ!

Sounds idiotic? Just wait.

pfreak: Mel begged Stern to sign a new contract today. He didn't offer 0.0 anything...he even said the O&A show doesn't deserve it's own channel. Bye bye Virus. 0.0 always take it in the end.

I have XM and basically only listen to the Virus...expcept from noon to 3....Ron & Fez SUCK.....whatever they are being paid is to much. Can't wait for stern, never heard of bubba....

Ron and Fez 12 - 3

Scott is right. I listened to them on Testicular before they moved to XM and now I hear them through Directv and they are my number 2 choice behind Howards show and attimes tied or ahead. I have what I consider a good sense of humor and the only show that I don't care about is Ferrell but then I don't care about sports. There is something there for all of us that have Satellite so just listen to what you like and give the others a chance when you feel like you can.I still find it tough to listen to O&A without Norton when he's not in and it took me a long time to listen to Bubba but they also have their moments and I'm glad that I wasn't closed minded . Long story short, they all suck at times but they all are capable of shining at times too. They are there to try to make us laugh.

liam. he went to stern @ 7am because o&a will be on his competitors airwaves that earlier and wall street only cares about raising oil prices/futures plus it is too earlier for them also.

"PNess makes his return. What a boob. You do know a contract takes weeks at least to hammer out right? Hoo Hoo doesn't have a contract extension either, he must be gone in a couple of years right? I'd put an "lol" here but only fucking complete queers do that.

TY PFreak i miss you too, but i really have been posting...you must be missing me. LOL LAWL LOL LOL LOL

wana bet me lunch they will not resign with siriusxm? its about money, and from what they are getting from regular radio they would be silly not to leave sat radio.
i got a paypal you can send me some lunch money...i would love to eat lunch knowing it was from you.

also 2 years left on one contract 60 days on the other. you dont see the difference there? LOL LOL LAWL LOL LOL

So what is going to be the lineup?

Howing - Morning
Bubba - Noon
O&A - Afternoon
R&F - Evening

Any chance one of the above are gone before Sept?

If this is it, I admit, I would listen all day

Hopefully OnA and Ron and Fez (noon to three) will be able to keep broadcasting from their studios thus keeping the tensions at ease with Howard and Ferrell (who turned his back to O&A). I have no intrest whatsoever in Howard, and I didn't before I heard O&A either, I just don't think he's funny.

>> wana bet me lunch they will not resign with siriusxm? >>

I'll bet you lunch for the rest of the year.

Clearly you're operating on some warped Howard bias here, and not any sort of reality-based logic. O&A wholeheartedly enjoy their freedom on satellite radio and have said so many many many MANY times, including this morning *directly* to Mel Karmazin's face.

Why wouldn't they re-sign? Because you're hoping they don't? What harm does it do to even the most hardboiled Stern-lover/O&A hater?

You know you CAN change the channel when they're on, right? :-P

sorry but i am using financial logic not "stern love logic".

they need to start saving money and this would be a clear place to save money with minimal loss according to the arbitron ratings.

lose O&A but add the option of picking up Stern instead.

it makes no difference. most likley stern will have 2 channels since they are 2 of the top 3 channels on sirius and then everything else like bubba and O&A will be on a third channel.

at this point i do not think mel is going to make any deal that includes shared programing with regular radio.

funny how the o&a pests are the 1st to attack on stern fans, and once a stern fan reply's to the message you have several people (probally the o&a hacks) tellin you to grow up! and the cum dumpster who uses the same HOO HOO! phrase (the same WEAK phrase that o&a OVERUSEd! for the last 10 years)....the same opie and anthony who go on air and cry about how howard is horrible and a hack, tells his o&a tools he wants to bang howards girl and daughter (what a tuff guy he is)_. yet i dont see any success o&a had outside of a radio show. THATS ALL THEY CAN DO! what happened to the comedy central show?????? do they even advertise the show or is it even on??????
wheres their Movie?????? are they even on demand????? you could go 2 portugal and i bet people know howard stern, the guy is a household name unlike "the virus" fans who OVERHYPE o&a and the 2 plugs ron and fez who barely get respect!

>> at this point i do not think mel is going to make any deal that includes shared programing with regular radio. >>

If you listened to Mel on O&A, he made it clear that he was all about the 'unique content'. While he did say that he wasn't in favor of someone like Bubba going to terrestrial radio, there wasn't much they could do to accommodate him, financially, to meet his 'needs'. The compromise was that he makes his extra money in terrestrial in Tampa.

So then why exactly would he turn around, keep Bubba, and cut bait with O&A who are ten times more talented and make ten times more money for him...? O&A's deal was already in place, so I could see them riding out what's left of their terrestrial contract and then going back exclusively to satellite if the deal is right.

>> lose O&A but add the option of picking up Stern instead. >>

You do realize that not everyone likes listening to Howard, right? ;-) Mel would be a complete jackass to not offer people an alternative.

>> it makes no difference. most likely stern will have 2 channels since they are 2 of the top 3 channels on sirius and then everything else like bubba and O&A will be on a third channel. >>

If you think Howard's getting to keep 2 full channels and all of his flunkies still get to keep their own shows, you're insane. I guarantee that all the other 'Virus' and 'Howard 100' shows will eventually go away, and you'll only hear the 'main' programs on the air on as few channels as possible. Sorry Than, Sam & Lazlo. ;-)

Sorry anonymous loser, but it's clearly the other way around. Zombies are so obsessed with the boys that they constantly come in here with the same tired 'ol 0.0 crap.

Zombies complaining about O&A outnumber the pests complaining about Stern by a 5:1 ratio.

For 2 boys that "suck", you Zombies sure spend an awful lot of time talking about them.

What's the matter, does YOUR show suck that bad that you hang around here complaining about O&A?

My god kids, there's more to life than the fued of 2 radio shows. Get a life.

0.0 cant even get mels mic loud enough to be heard clearly. as long as bubba is around there is nothing on xm i care to hear but boy could you xmers use some good radio to listen to. if these jerkoffs are your flagship talk station just lock the doors over there and send the subs a sirius unit.

i learned of ron and fez because the donkey who thinks HOO HOO is fuckin GOLD (15 yr old joke) claims ron and fez are funny!

WoW! it went from NAB bashing to talk show bashing in less then a week!
i listen to stern but i could care less who is better just give baseball and XM the rhyme and everything will be ok!

p.s. i wonder XM what channels will be offered to the sirius side and vice versa! since the interoperable radio's wont be out for a while!.....

Stern operates 2 channels, but his contract allows for 3 channels. I'm sure he has something in the works

Bear in mind, Stern brought Mel to Sirius, not vice versa - even his junk channel outscored O&A in the Arbitron ratings - they aren't changing the manhattan office's drapes without his 1/2 billion dollar plus stock say so, let alone his channel content no matter how crappy it is - Mel was begging his "hack" ass for a lifetime contract. That being said, I hope Mel does make a deal with O&A, even Ron and Fez, whoever the hell they are - and they hafta work something exclusive with Bubba - exclusivity is the key to this whole satrad thing, and the more diverse content the better - an exclusive lockup with that fatshit oxycontin eating Lord of the Dittoheads would really seal the deal.

"a hole that doesn't say more the 5 sentences a show....pathetic."

WOW, ARE YOU WRONG!!!!!!!!

Howard should go back to what he was originally going to call his channels before Sirius got scared and put the kibosh on it .....Asshole 100 and Asshole 101.....I could not think of two more deserving assholes than 0.0 to be on Howard's "Asshole" channel .....put Dopey on Asshole 100 and put All terrain face on Asshole 101 and let them talk over the bandwith to each other and the 0.0 listeners they have ,then let their 1/2 asshole midget Norton split time between the studios to help out whichever douche is shittier
