Yet he wonders why he is slipping in FM markets as well. FM listeners for the most part don't listen to replays as compared to Sirius people I don't think.

why would they? FM listeners are listening for different reasons then sirius people for the most part

and it's at different times - bubba's show sometimes just does not feel like an afternoon show and vice versa - sometimes I wake up and they are having some serious discussion and I'm like - well this is gonna be a depressing day

FM people want to wake up and have a chuckle - that's what the surveys have said for - oh I dunno - 100 years

Hence Howard never announcing his vacations back in the day. Many casual listeners wouldn't know the difference to his Best of.

Didn't ratings slip last summer as well during vacation? I mean it makes sense that some people would tune out.

[SJ]

Not into Stern these days?

well it's not like you need sirius to hear either of these shows is it?

[SJ]

and that will not change with a podcast - in fact it will just make it faster cause now no one will have to record anything

[Chob]

It isn't. It's a morning/midday show.

bad live show > show you've already heard

Fair enough. At least Sirius Canada doesn't charge for the online listening.

3-7? how the fuck is that morning again?

[Chob]

It's a morning show replayed in the afternoon, not an afternoon show.

[SJ]

that's not even mid-day as it reaches into evening

Yeah, I think u are right. But this last couple of months have been terrible for trying to build/keep an audience IMO!! Especially what is left of the Sirius ones!!

THAT's my point

it doesn't work in the afternoon on the replay so well

it feels off

[Chob]

that's not even mid-day as it reaches into evening

I'm talking about Fridays being middays.

[SJ]

I'm talking about the show

in general - cause friday is 1/6th of the show which is piddly fuck all really - especially since he's taken half of them off this year
