Howard Stern Show Listening Thread

[Chob]

His deal is up in a few weeks. I rarely listen, but I think final negotiations are behind his trip to NYC.

Hopefully Sirius won't find a way to fuck this...


Oh who am I kidding, that's always a likely possibility.

I thought the interview with Ellis would go well... but it's great to hear nevertheless. That whole Chyna gimmick was hilarious.

There was some talk of him moving to The Virus. He wants to be on a talk channel.

What's up with CU?

Dobie went apeshit and pulled it down. It still exists on a temp domain until they can work shit out.

That would piss off so many hardcore listeners. Hell, that might force me to get Best of XM. Listening to Ron and Fez on Paltalk is an annoying procedure and I haven't found a Virus stream.

we are working on the server - we will let you guys know when to return

shouldn't take long

It's just that I thought Howard with his laid back personality wouldn't know quite how to take Ellis. But there's definite chemistry in the studio.

The thing is, moving Ellis anywhere is stupid and bad for fans. If he ends up on a premium channel, either Virus or for argument's sake 101 (and Bubba would be moved), a segment of the audience loses him unless they pay up. Also, moving him off Faction would mean more commercials and no music.

I listen to Ellis sporadically... usually try to catch Bubba in the afternoons... tune Ellis in when Bubba's on re-replay or on Friday afternoons. I dig the guy's show. It'd be shitty for his hardcore fans if they hadta pony up cash.

That's the way Mel works.

Solid hour segment for Jason. Good on ya'.

Yup. That's why I don't get why fans of him that are also Stern/202 fans want him on those channels. Nothing good comes of it. Hell imagine if Bubba had been on a music channel where there were no commercials and he played the music. Would any of us wanted him on a talk channel with the amount of commercials he had on Sirius up to this year?

Ellis has a great opportunity here with a good buzz about his show and the channel he's on. He's the reason a lot of people listen to Faction and a major part of that brand.

You have a point there.

"Hey this skateboarder is getting popular with the kids, let's stick him on the Virus and squeeze money out of his hardcore Sirius fans and sell our otherwise mediocre Best of XM package."

Great, great interview. He fucking brought it unlike the Hampton-ites they usually have on.

Great, great interview. He fucking brought it unlike most of the other Hampton-ites they've had on.

I'm surprised Booey managed to squeeze him in between Joan Rivers and Lisa Lampanelli appearances.

[stumpy]

Has Tommy Taylor been on?
