their ripping on your sheet

Sirius will work themselves right out of business in a few more yrs IMO!!

Internet radio will beat down satellite radio anyway, but Sirius blowing it on the content end will just make that process happen a lot faster.

There is one factor that will hold back internet radio. Data caps from the providers. If they (as expected this summer) limit the amount of data, that is going to hurt all internet radio.

I'm looking at the contract now and the issue is what's considered a "HS-Generated Subscriber." If you signed up in a way that didn't directly indicate you were signing up for Howard, I don't believe it counted.

When I first signed up in 2007, I compared the services. Sirius had the NFL and Howard. Then I saw Bubba and was happy to get him back after being fired in Tampa. Sirius just seemed to have more stuff. I was curious about Howard and always wanted to try him out. Turns out I got the TMZ, American Idol, "anything else Robin" version.

Nah, it's not like video. You can stream a helluva lot of audio before hitting a cap.

Yes. It used to be the wild west but the more devices that are capable of using cellular data, the more companies will regulate it. Verizon is going to tiered and so is T-Mo.

Didn't feel right.

i get that..

Good afternoon. I think our own Buttler caled in. If that was him, he has a good radio presents. In regards to this Maxwell character, I've heard that he looks like mr. Mackey from South Park. His last day on 98 Rock was une 29, 2000, as that was when Bubba had O.J. Simpson on.

Goddamn .pdf isn't made in a way that lets you copy and paste the text.

As used in this agreement a "HS-Generated Subscriber" shall mean any Sirius subscriber directly and trackably (e.g., through a promotion code or dedicated website or 800 number) generated through any marketing or sales initiative you direct to Stern's fanbase, other than any initiative which offers all applicable subscribers cash incentives, rebates or any consideration other than premiums of limted value (such as posters or DVD's of programming created by Stern). Sirius shall reasonably cooperate with you in the creation of marketing and sales programs and tracking mechanisms.

So for the performance based rewards to kick in, he needed 2 million subs that fell into that category.

A good thing is that now it's confirmed Bubba, Ferrall, etc. got paid from Sirius and not out of Howard's compensation.

Yeah but it's good to have confirmation so people can't say "it was all up to Howard/Howard didn't want him back" etc.

Yeah, I see ur point on that..there were a lot of those. While I didn't think it was up to Howie to pay him, I sure thought he would have say in what was on his channels. Guess that turned out not to be the case as well.
