So they couldn't afford to keep most of XM's superior channels and program directors, but they have enough money for this FM-style gimmicky celebrity worship bullshit?
Why is Sirius so hellbent on trying to be EXACTLY like terrestrial radio? If I want to hear tiny playlists and annoying DJs that blabber for 10 minutes about whatever dumb contest they have this week, I can get that for free.
US residents only :(
"Sit in on Opie and Anthony's live radio show in NYC"
I can do that now
1st
the only crappy thing with winning a chance to sit in with O&A is they allow you to do that anyway haha I'd grab another prize and do it after my sit in with O&A. Thanks Ryan for letting us know about this!
How about sitting in with Ryan S.? We can have tuna casserole and ginger ale, make fun of the FCC and the asses that tried to shoot down the merger. We can update Howard and O&A news, try out the new Innos and laugh and laugh.
I was all ready to jump in with some snarky comment but some of these aren't too bad. Bob Edwards, Backstage at the Met Opera, Cousin Brucie, BB King, Wynton Marsalis. Those are the ones I'd jump on.
What no sitting in on Howard? That would be a treat. instead your going to have us sit in on "Mag Dog" and the 0.0 Dog Shit Radio shows. UGH. Try again when you have something decent!
I guess this is Mel's solution to make customers pissed about losing their favorite channels happy.
Darn. Was looking for the 'Guest DJ an edition of XM Saturday Night on Lucy'.
Screw it. Nothing else is worth a four hour flight.
I'd love to have lunch with Fafafooey...
Can Artie come along?
:)
I actually entered to win just to sit in with Opie & Anthony. I'm not a fan of O&A, I figured if I win I'll enjoy the free trip to NY, sit in with O&A and then stick around for my all-time favorite show, Ron & Fez.
Who wants to sit there during lunch and watch Bababooey's giant chompers at work. Ugh!
They don't offer Howard cause he is so damn scared of doing anything live that is not in his total control. That and he only works what 2 days a week?
How about me sitting in with the girls of The Bunny Ranch for a weekend - all expenses paid?! I promise I'll upgrade to "Best of XM".
Wow. Not only does nothing on that list appeal to me, I'd pay good money to avoid doing most of that. Is Mel on the stuff again?
Im so glad im getting a slacker. SiriusXm is turning into commercial free FM How long until the commercials come back??
The one I'de want is to sit in on a show with Vin Scelsa, to me that would be the coolest. But I don't see it listed. Vin never gets the respect he deserves!
The only prizes worth getting:
Trip to Berlin, Germany and meet Paul Van Dyk or don't meet him and just roam around Berlin and get a whore.
and
$1,000 shopping spree with Angela Yee, or ditch Angela Yee and use the $1,000 to get a whore.
One notable omission from the list...
...an opportunity to hang with the Bubba The Love Sponge crew down in Tampa.
Guess Sirius really doesn't give a f--k about Bubba. Three years and he gets the bum's rush.
Get ready for the backlash, Mel. The Bubba Army will crucify you.
Must say, I agree with Adam!
They cry "broke" then totally trash xm ( and sirius too from what i've been reading), then come up with this? WTF?
Bag all that and use the monies to pay for some of the programming we lost in the "merger".
This "merger" is either an incredibley bold business tactic that is so genius, none of us could even begin to comprehend, or it is just an incredibly stupid fooking move to aimed at the total alienation of customers, and complete ruination of satellite radio as we came to know it. Time will tell ( my script runs out in three more months, better hurry!).
Three Weeks Later, Still Bummed,
P
Florio's dinner with Ron and Fez would be nice
I don't live near New York, so I entered the O&A visit. Plus, if you win that you'll probably get to stay and sit in during Ron & Fez, so it's like two prizes in one.
Exactly my thoughts, Groob! You beat me to it.
Sit in on the O&A show? I have done that twice already. How about babes, bullets and booze at the Cumia mansion or dinner at FH Rileys with the Opster?
If I were to perhaps win your little sweepstakes, I would prefer the following prize instead of the ones on your list: every channel for $12.95, no censorship, the elimination of the "best of" rip off scheme, and last but not least a promise from management that they will listen to the desires of the subscribers.
A guy can dream, cant he?
Its all Mel Karmazin's fault. He is terrestrial radio in disguise. I want to know why we need these commercials that advertise what is on other channels. They are just getting us ready for the commercial onslaught. Mark my words.
