Howard Stern going to Satellite Radio? [Archive]

Reephdweller

02-24-2004, 02:30 AM

This may be a joke or a bluff on his part, but I just heard Howard Stern say that he has a meeting today with Mel Karmazin where he will offer his resignation. That he's supposed to meet with him with regards to the new rules about indecency that Infinity has put in place following the whole Janet Jackson incident. He then went on to say that he's going to move to satellite radio where he will "revolutionize" the industry.

I don't know if he's taking a poke at O&A or if he's serious, but he does sound pissed that his shows getting chopped up and dumped a lot.

Satellite radio would give Stern whatever he wants because he would give them instant national credibility and a recognized star. Like it or not, O&A were regional and would not nearly make the same impact as signing someone of Stern's caliber.

He's always complained about being dumped. And he's been dumped for a long time before Miss Jackson's nipple.

This actually may benefit O&A. IF he goes before them (which would have to be in a few months if they are coming back in JUNE and are going right to satellite), they could possibly join the same company and station that he is on and just make it a powerhouse. And with no rules, they could just trash each other all day and not have to worry.

I doubt stern would ever do this because his listernship would be cut by about 95%, and he would probobly lose his E! show. He loves that show more than his morning show, he loves to see his big nose on TV.

He was complaining yesterday about all the new restrictions, with Tom in the room. We know how pissed he his about it, but I can't see him resigning over this.

Oh, god please he's just bitching about losing one of his original sidekicks to Jay Leno. He's getting less and less funny since losing jackie the jokeman. I guess he'll go the serious interview side like his hated arch-rival imus in the morning.

Notice that all the big "shockjocks" have been fired or cancelled ever since O&A did their"Sex for Sam3" back in '02 and the ones that are left are turning pussy and toning down their acts. We can only hope that Mancow should suffer the worst fate imaginable? Even Don & Mike Douchebag should look over their shoulders.

I agree, I think the one thing his show lacked was a guy to talk back and forth with. I've never been a fan of Robin Quivers, but I think Artie works great with him. I did like Jackie and the comedy he brought to show, it was a lot more behind the scenes type of material that he brought to the table.

I haven't really liked or listened to show all the much since his movie came out, but the addition of Artie to the show I think has been a good one.

In light of the recent turn of events for Howard, and the way he's talking this morning I believe he will end up on Satellite radio. I'm sure he can work out a deal with E! to still broadcast his TV show, and if they don't someone else will want it.

Anyone who is a fan of radio should be up in arms over the fact that Stern was dropped by 6 stations. If they would drop Howard over the fact that a listner used the N-word, imagine how fast Ron and Fez would get dropped. Clear Channel also dropped Bubba(who ever he is) like a bad habit. I hope Stern goes to Sat., I can't take this Nazi government interferance any more.

No, Wendy the retard is really mentally challanged and asked for what she called the "Jew Song" the only "logical" explanation they thought of was a Jew wrote it.

And I can't believe people are happy that Stern was let go like this. Bubba the Love Spnge and Stern first, but what if someone doesn't like the show you like and R&F or some other show you like ends up being canned?

You should defend Stern and then let low ratings get rid of him, That's how a show should be taken off the air; lack of intrest!

I get the point.

I just think Howard's full of shit, as well as anyone who still thinks that this is all the work of the religious right.

391? 391 people, are they ALL under the sway of the religious right? Is this STILL a great conservative conspiracy?

It's idiocy on both sides.

Anyone who believes otherwise - like Howard - is a fucking retard.

</center>
Actually it's much easier than that, It was 391 people that knew they had nothing to lose by voting that way. At the end of the day, it was a bigger risk to vote against than for. I am a Stern fan, but he has become a complete twat. Grow a f'n spine man. Either go out in a blaze of glory, or just do the show you want and let them edit what they will. His bullshit now has me reaching for the dial. At this point I'm not sure I would listen to him on Sat. Not if he continues to bleat like a stuck sheep.

Doctor Manhattan

People still don't get it.

Just sit by do nothing and let Stern get roasted, just don't complain when they come after the show you do like.

Federal law and FCC rules prohibit over-the-air radio and TV stations from airing material that refers to sexual and excretory functions between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when children may be tuned in. There are no such restrictions for cable and satellite TV and satellite radio.

Is this the complete list that would result in a fine? Howard was under fire for a listener saying the word "Nigger" and the comment was about sex, so would the word "nigger" outside of the context of sex result in a fine?

Has the FCC set down real rules? is it more than the "7 dirty words"? As far as I know the "7 dirty words" are the only thing that have been made into law regarding indecency on broadcast media.

Usually you write the regulations BEFORE you settle on the fines for breaking those regulations.

I actually didn't turn him on until about 7:20, so I only heard the last 5 or 10 minutes of his opening today. Seemed like good use of clips from news reports, people calling in and music.

He said that if the Senate votes, that he just might not come in anyway. We'll see.

Of course, I wonder if Infinity has to get rid of him if he's allowed to go to Satellite Radio, or if they will sit on him like they have O&A.

And I wouldn't discount him going to "XM" radio just because Clear Channel owns a certain percentage. Yes he has been harsh on them, especially the head, but he's also given them the benefit of the doubt that they really didn't have any other choice under this climate - he said that as recently as this week. So, he's hedging his bets there.

Of course, that could be a ploy; if Sirrus thinks Howard won't go to XM then they can try and low-ball him, but if there is a perception of competing for Stern, he could do all right.

The United States Government, with a mandate not from the American People but from the fringe "religious" right wing of the Republican Party, is covertly manipulating media groups to conform into Capitalist versions of the kind of "State Run" information outlets we rail against in other countries. You can be apathetic or cynical all you want (which is exactly what they want, btw), but this has been part of the plan since January 21, 2001.

This is not about nipples or Stern, but about a group of unelected individuals arbitrarily cherry-picking who to fine, and who to ignore, in an attempt keep these organizations in line. Stern is the easiest target, so they will take him out; he is the worst poster boy for free speech, so that shouldn't be tough. They also consider him a threat politically, speaking.

Let him have his day in court to finally determine, for everyone, what is indecent and obscene. There has never been a ruling ever that what he does (or what any of these people do) is either. Don't leave it in the hands of politicians pushing an agenda.

Freebird

03-12-2004, 07:00 AM

The notion that it's just the religious right that's the source of this trouble is pretty much negated by the 391-22 vote. Even among the 22 no votes, most of those are people for whom it's just as politically expedient for them as for those who voted in favor. Howard is not the "easy target" but so many others have been taken down this censorship movement now feels strong enough to go after the most visible target. The idea that the Democrats, the left and a President John Kerry will just sweep all this aside and restore a more open radio is unlikely to say the least. The conservative Republicans are supposed to be all about keeping the government from intruding on people's lives, and most of them are in for this. That yahoo article posts only one critic of the bill, and he's Republican. And we don't even know how he voted.

I think it's far more likely that a much better economy and a generally more optimistic and happier country (as it was in much of the 80s and 90s) would end this clampdown. However if all the "adult humor" heads for cable radio now, I don't see it returning to the free airwaves.

I hope it does go to court, because I want to return to choosing what I do and do not listen to on my radio. Besides, if satellite radio does succeed, eventually it will add commercials and the 'decency' censors will target it for broadcasting objectionable material during hours children could be listening, or some such thing. So we would end up paying for pretty much what we have now.

No, it's not just the religious right, The people complaining about these things that the FCC and Congress are now talking about are the minority. Most people just aren't doing anything, Most of those 391 votes are just people who don't care, or are afraid to make a stand.

The fines don't hurt them, so why vote against them and possibly be seen as against "protecting the children"

Those bastards should be fining the people at the INS, FBI and CIA who dropped the ball and allowed people to be killed! People died because of them, What's the worse thing to happen because of Miss Jackson's boob or Howard playing "Lord of the Anal Ring Toss" on the radio? I don't think anyone died as a direct result of stuff on TV or the radio, but thousands of people died because INS, CIA, FBI etc let stuff happen on 9/11, Washington Area Sniper, and many other incidents that could have been avoided if the Government did what they should be doing.

I am voting for Kerry, only because he's not W. Bush.

Is W the only president to serve without being elected? (Aside from taking the place of a President in an emergency)

Keep in mind the majority of voters are probably not as aware and interested in this topic as we are. As such, the bill is being pushed through Congress with words like "indecency" and "children." Some congressmen/women are afraid to vote against this because they may lose votes due to that.

Maybe, but the people who really think like that weren't going to change their votes, if they vote, while this issue may bring a lot of folks who don't normally vote out.

Great commentary (http://www.tvweek.com/shales/031504shales.html) by Tom Shales regarding this whole mess.

Viacom Inc. president Mel Karmazin's defense of a Howard Stern broadcast and Viacom's indecency-enforcement philosophy didn't sit well with Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.).

The Senator's communications director, Brian Hart, today said the tone of the response to Brownback's request for information, as well as Karmazin's testimony several weeks ago before the House Commerce Committee, "seems like 'business as usual' instead of progressing toward upholding existing FCC regulations and working toward cleaning up our public airwaves."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal regulators continued their crackdown on indecency Thursday, issuing a fine for a broadcast of the Howard Stern radio show and ruling that an expletive uttered by rock singer Bono on NBC violated broadcast standards.

The Federal Communications Commission proposed fining Infinity Broadcasting the maximum $27,500 for a Stern show broadcast on WKRK-FM in Detroit.

The FCC is out of control. I still think Howard might make the move to satellite.

Anyone catch Howard replaying Oprah this morning? Her guest explained what a "tossed salad" is, the same thing Howard is being fined for.

I caught it. It was pretty funny that they were dumping out of an Oprah clip. Howard had a good point when he said something to the effect of:

"Let it run. If they fine me for it, they'll have to fine Oprah too. That will fix this whole mess right up. They fine the most powerful richest black woman in the country they'll be hell to pay."

I was getting coffee today and the guy in the parking spot next to mine had Howie on.  All I heard was Howie say as "This is fucking great!"  Then I got in my car and promptly turned DLR off and put the music on.

I gave the show a good listen...at least first hour of it anyway...I got an illegal copy from someone. Quite simply awful. I don't say that as a O&A fan, but rather as someone who years ago liked the show...I mean maybe 15 years ago or so. He can no longer hide behind blaming the FCC for screwing around with his show, and better start making good radio shows. I know first shows can suck so I'd give it to him for that, but overall what I heard was pathetic.First off starting with this fart song opener. I felt embarassed for the guy. He sounded tired and uninterested in putting on an interesting show.

If this show is "pathetic" what word would you use to describe the current "O & A" show?!?!??!I'd the say the O&A show has been better of late.I did not look at the show from the perspective of a O&A loyalist, I've said it many times here that years ago back in the WNBC and early KRock days in NY I listened to his show and was a huge fan of Howards. I understand that shows evolve and move on from styles and formats, however in this particular case I just didn't find it funny at all. There was one point when the equipment wasn't working and Howard was like "Let's go home..." and that was kind've funny, though overall I just didn't care for it. As I said, I know first shows can suck, so it's possible that it'll get better. I listened through the rest of the show and the press conference and just didn't care for it. Perhaps it's a personal taste, though I didn't like it and hope the shows get better. Perhaps when the fanfare dies down it'll get better.

Wow so that was really George Takei? That's pretty cool. His first show sounds pretty good. George and Artie are very funny.I wonder where stern is getting his numbers from. He said that Sirius just announced they had 3.3 million subs. Then he said conservatively his fans are responsible for at least 2 million of them. and that 2 million were listening to his first show.

They couldn't run over before R&F came. I think it might have something to do with the fact that Stern is broadcasting from Sirius HQ and O&A aren't broadcasting from XM HQ. But it is ridiculous. For all the bloviating from O&A about XM's tech advantages they can't even handle a simple thing like a show running over.

The racist attitude over there is rather disturbing. That's the biggest reason I hate wackbag. There is a sizable gorup of posters there, probably the majority of them, who fall into two groups: actual racists and idiots who can't tell the difference between making humorous racist comments and just being racist. To them, just being racist=funny. If you want to see how bad it gets, go to some of the non-show related forums.As for wackbag censorship, you can get away with posting negative comments once in a while, but they'll ban you if you do it too much in their eyes. And they'll also fold to O&A if they don't want something discussed. For example. try bringing up Spaz on wackbag. I think they even have a filter that will censor his name if you try to post it.

I'm an hour and a half into the replay and this is just solid, tight
and hilarious radio.  The show hasn't been this fun and loose in
years.  The George Takei and Govenor Schwarzenneger (imposter
Govenor) had me pissing.  I can't believe how well Takei has
worked with the show and what a funny element he brings.  Too bad
he's only live in studio for the first week.  Takei and his
interaction with the show has been the best stuff so far.  Who
would have ever guessed he would work so well LIVE in studio for entire
shows.  Great call by Christy.  Moe, he'll be
averaging 5 hour plus shows throughout but don't forget he works a 4
day week.  Every Friday is an off day for him.And for my favorite quote of today's show (so far): "I was an Asian that was a first class helmsman for Star Fleet"   Spoken as if "Star Trek" was not just a show but REAL. Perry
really put it best when he said "anger-free" radio.  From the
terrible time of Howard's non-stop bitching (Bush, FCC and having his
show butchered, blah blah blah) to the past and current O and A like
rage/bitterness with so many things it is just a breath of fresh air to
hear ANGER-FREE, great radio that concentrates on humor. 
I just hope it stays this way, only time will tell.

to hear but I believe is one hour long.  They (Gary's hour) talk
about behind the scene's stuff during that day's program and bits that
didn't quite make it to the air.  Both shows are replayed only
once, back to back starting at 9 p.m.  I forgot how cool it was to
have a great show (R and F) to listen to in the evening.

I will only offer that advice to fans that base their opinions on
what rival radio shows say.  Not that O and A and Howard are even
rivals anymore, don't get me wrong.  He judged a show based on an
opinion of people (O and A) that HATE Stern.  That to me is being
a part of a herd.  I like individuals not sheep.

quote: I will only offer that advice to fans that base their opinions on what rival radio shows say.  Not that O and A and Howard are even rivals anymore, don't get me wrong.  He judged a show based on an opinion of people (O and A) that HATE Stern.  That to me is being a part of a herd.  I like individuals not sheep.<img src="http://members.aol.com/tromatizedtodd/sigpics/steels2.gif" border="0" /> OK.  It's just that you yelled at 2 people in the same thread for "not having their own opinion" on Stern.There are lots of people who like me are unimpressed with the thought of Stern on Sirius and aren't interested in even tracking the show down on torrent sites or whatever.  I won't form an opinion on the show without having heard it.  But Stern has done such a horrible job trying to entertain the past few years that he's even drive the need for me to hear him on satellite.I agree that others forming your opinion for you is as gay as Brokeback Mountian, but let's not just assume these posters are right off the bat.And a Baba Booey show only sounds slightly worse than Bubba the Love Sponge.

People shouldn't just assume that O&A are always right, even though I am not accussing anyone here of doing that. O&A have lied to their listeners in the past, and on issues that have nothing to do with Stern. They flat out faked having Stone Temple Pilots play live on their show once. Spaz disappeared from the show without even a mention. I never take their word for granted.However, their biggest beef with Stern is undeniable: the gag order. Anyone who listened to any WNEW show could see that. It goes against everything that Stern supposedly stands for. And the way Stern doesn't engage O&A and their explanation for it makes sense to me. He has absolutely trashed jocks bigger and much smaller than O&A, and yet he barely mentions O&A. I do think he is a bit scared of them. Not that he should be. He's probably much bigger than they ever will be.But, whatever. I enjoy O&A, and never got into Stern. I'll listen to O&A as long as they entertain me.

O&A are the ones who showed me how Hoo Hoo was brainwashing his listeners.  They showed me I should NEVER take a radio jock's word for ANYTHING.  So thanks to them, I won't ever take their word at face value either.I just find that O&A are on the side of this that I agree with more often than not, and they're funnier than Stern.

I listened to yesterdays Stern show mostly out of curiosity and also because there was no new O&A show to hear. (I still feell that when things like this happen that they should replay Ron and Fez live shows from that day for the rest of the day instead). I totally agree with Perry's observation that he definitely sounds like he's having a lot of fun. George Takai has his funny moments as well. Though overall I think that while the show was better than the day before I didn't find it as hilarious as others here found it. So I think it does actually come down to personal opinion. As for O&A, I do think of late their shows have been better. I have thought for some time now that they have been "calling it in" as they like to say, waiting for Stern's arrival to start dishing out their best stuff. Whether that is true or not remains to be seen. Though I would not be surprised if their show just starts getting more and more good content and quality wise.

I'm not sure WTF Stern 100 & 101 will air on weekends. I can't seem to find that information anywhere. I think a Friday replay is great idea. Only the best bits of the week will make the cut. I am not hip on the news channel stuff. Doesnt do much for me. I am looking forward to "meet the sterns". Howard gave an hour show to his parents but I can't seem to find that either. As for the love sponge, I dont like the show at all. I wish Stern would hire George Takei full time. He really adds to the cast.  Here is the Mon - Fri lineup:<table width="500" border="0"><tr><td class="tdtext" valign="top">The following is the schedule for Howard 100 and Howard 101 as of Tuesday, January 10, 2006 [All Times Eastern].

I now look forward to listening to Ron and Fez cause they bring fresh shit to the show and are great entertainment. Now when it comes to O and A, I am always having to explain to people I have turned onto XM that "...they have their good days they have their bad days." I remember back in 1999, I couldnt wait to get out of work, to get in the car and listen to the rest of the O and A show. They fucking ruled and were always doing some shit to push the envelope. Now I feel they just dont go to that extreme anymore. Do they have to do 'bit' shows. No. But just their goofing on shit has it value. They dont do that as much, it is a lot of bitching and complaining. I think the problem now a days is that O and A rely on their fans now to contribute certain portions to their show. And not just rely on their creativity. They have gotten lax. Now I still love them, and listen to them everyday, but their are parts of the show where I have to go to another channel. I never turn off Ron and Fez. I have access to Sirius but havent listened yet, and will do so when I get a chance. Ill say that his show went downhill since 2000, so I am a little tentative to listen to him. O and A went out on top of their game, and I couldnt wait to hear them again on XM. So by my logic Ill give him a try and let ya all know my opinion.

Listening to day 3. My feeling with Howard is that he was funny when he was humble. When he was a regular guy, or at least pretended to be. When he wasn't full of himself and was more about making funny radio. I find that people like Benji both in the old days and all the way to now just add NOTHING to the show. As far as characters on the show. I like Artie, he has his moments where he annoys me, though for the most part he's a funny guy. Robin Quivers, if there is one thing that O&A have nailed is how awful Robin is on the show. I never liked her on the show, but didn't really notice until O&A pointed out how she adds nothing to the show. This doesn't mean I'm brainwashed by O&A, sometimes they're right and on this one they are. I like George Takai on the show, and think whatever he does, Howard needs to find a way to make him a regular part of the show.

And odds are, eventually this will spin into other things aside from him and show related stuff. Let's not get into a pissing match about how Bubba's being treated by Howard, though - he could be treated a lot worse - yeah, so, he may not have a replay (most talk radio shows don't), but he's got a great timeslot AND they built a beyond state of the art 2 story studio for him in Tampa, so that's not too shabby. And he's got a job! Something he's been without for almost 2 years, because of Clear Channel. AND, he's part of a huge media story, even by just sitting on the side biding him time, while all the bile and praise gets heaped on Howard in equal portions.

The news isn't all about Howard. It's about things and people who are heard or a part of his show. For instance, there was a segment on Beetlejuice's manager having a stroke, Bubba's mother, etc...Come to think of it, there are rarely any news segments directly on Stern himself unless it's something he says on his show, like his revelation earlier this week.

The Henry Hill interview was pretty good but the Roy Simmons interview was one of the best interviews I've ever heard on radio . For those who don't know: (from sterns show log) Roy Simmons, the former New York Giant and Washington Redskin player whose new book, “Out of Bounds,” recently hit shelves, came into the studio. Howard explained that Roy has led a hard life, not only because he is the only openly gay former professional football player, but also because he became a drug addict and prostitute once he left the game. Roy told Howard that he thinks there are at least “one or two” homosexual players on each NFL team and then went on to tell a story about the time he had sex with a former Giants teammate of his. Roy then admitted that he occasionally made anti-gay remarks when he played professional football in order to fit in with the other players, but added that he tried to avoid doing that as best he could.

If I had the money I would buy sirius just out of curioisity to see how bad Howard sucks on satellite. a good friend of mine has sirius but she hates howard and refuses to listen to him. I would like to hear for myself how diffrent the show is now that he is on no restrictions satellite radio. not to be given compliments to the competiton but they're '80's channel is a hell of a lot better than xm's. which kinda bums me out.

Then again, Ive had XM since before R&F and O&A were even on it - so I could just be fried on it.  I am enjoying the programming on Sirius. They have some really cool channels that appeal to me. As far as the 80's go, is there really such a thing as a  "good 80's channel?"<img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/wink.gif" border="0" /> <img height="408" src="http://usuarios.lycos.es/hardrockbuenosaires/paginas_enuffznuff/fotos_enuffznuff/enuffznuff03.jpg" width="566" border="0" />Id bang every one of these chicks - The 80's did have some cool chick bands

Then again, Ive had XM since before R&F and O&A were even on it - so I could just be fried on it.  I kind of agree.  I got XM solely for R&F, but I did spend a lot of time checking out the music channels when I first got it.  They were enjoyable at first, but to me, they don't have a lot to offer.  I've got a pretty sizable music selection and an Ipod, and I can program something that better suits my tastes than any of the XM music channels.  If I'm listening to music, chances are I'm listening to my own collection in some form or other rather than the XM ones.  My MyFi almost never leaves channel 202, unless I want to catch an Orioles game.  If R&F left XM, I probably would keep the service though.  My daughter loves a bunch of the XM channels, including XM Kids, Broadway, 20 on 20, Caliente, Classical, etc., and listens every night on a radio I added via the family plan.

The family plan just means you can add additional radios to your account (up to 7 total, I think) for $6.95 a month each.

So if it dies  3 years down the road , you would need another subscription. I think, not sure.

Sirius does have some nice choices. Pat St. John does a great classic vinyl show. THe coffee house channel plays some nice eclectic acoustic music. Of course the gay channel is always fun to listen to, and Howard does goof with those guys, so that is pretty funny.My favorite is the Wiseguy show with all the Brooklyn gumbas sitting around, eating saugage and peppers subs, and bullshitting.

You are correct from what I heard. LIfetime Subscription is for the life of your receiver you start it on. So as long as those huge bread boxes Sirius calls receivers last for a few decades, you've totally bought a sweet deal.

Yeah I heard that wise guy show last night - it was more entertaining than I thought. But that damn Mojo Nixon show may be the best show on Sirius. Mojo Nixon's lyin' cock-suckers is the name and it's the best radio I've heard since The Ron and Fez Show - he's absolutely insane.

So as long as those huge bread boxes Sirius calls receivers last for a few decades, you've totally bought a sweet deal. <a href="http://www.unhallowed.com/">.</a>Thanks for tips guys. I did some investigating - ok, I just called Sirius not really an investigation - and actually you guys have had incorrect information passed on to you - The lifetime membership will carry over to new receivers but there is a charge for doing so of $75 . Also, there is a limit to how many times you can change receivers. They will roll the membership over 3 times.  BUT - you only pay the $75 roll ever fee once.  So you can replace your receiver twice for no charge. As for the size thing, the Sirius receiver I purchased is smaller than my XM receiver and perfect for what I need. I'm not one of those "tech" dudes who fret over the bells & whistles of radio receivers. I bought Sirius so I can kick back at home and listen to their shows. I have XM in my car and online for Ron and Fez and have never had any problems with either service. I don't need a portable device - nor would I want one. I will take a solid receiver that delivers good quality programs over fancy gadgets w/ "all the latest" bells & whistles that I dont need. I wish XM would put more thought and money into advertising shows like O&A and Ron and Fez - and providing quality shows instead of trying to "out - tech" the competition But thats just my opinion- I could be wrong America.  You can have a kick ass Benz, with fancy wheels and remote blah blah's, but eventually, you are going to need an engine or you will be sitting in the driveway with a cool looking car that never goes anywhere. Thats just where I stand. I know a lot of people love the high tech stuff and bells and whistles and thats awesome. XM is the product for you. They def have Sirius beat in the tech dept.

I hope that eventually you'll be able to buy receivers that get both services, sorta like an AM/FM radio.  Not sure how either company would feel about that.  I mean you woul still have to buy a subscription to each service so they would get their money.  It would make my life that less complicated.

Im sure something like that is in the works. If it's not - it should be. The word on the street is right now, XM & Sirius have a lock on the industry for 10 years. No other company can start up until then. When the lock is up (in 10 years)  - look for Sirius & XM to merge.

Questions or statements to celebrity guests in the first 2 weeks.Alexis Stewart (Martha's Daughter)" Are you offended I called you Cunty" "Have you ever tried anal"" Do you think your Mom tried lesbianism in prison"Rachel Hunter"GET OUT YOU F'N CUNT! Who do you think you are, Julia F'n Roberts?"Roy Simmons(gay ex-NFL player) "Ever take a shit on Tony Dorsett?"George Takei(recently out)" I like you George, I just wouldn't let you blow me"There are a whole bunch more I have forgotten, but anyone who says the show sucks or has been disappointing hasn't been listening. Also, Jim Bruer's show on Raw Dog is Hilarious. I have both XM and Sirius. Sirius has much, much better programming with the exception of Ron and Fez. XM's kid stations are also better. Sirius was awesome during the NFL season.For example: Kindest Regards, Your Name

Since there doesn't seem to be any real need or outcry to start a Bubba thread, I'll just add this tid-bit that I heard - during the 2 years when he was off the air, Bubba wanted to make sure he would keep his entire crew together, so he paid his entire staff out of his own pocket. I don't necessarily want to elect him King of Florida or use that to try and convince people to listen to him, but I personally think that was a really stand up move and showed confidence in him getting hired again.

Not every Sirius show has been gold, but Richard and Sal always come through.BTW - Alexis Stewart saying the "mmmm...cunty" is one of my favorite drops Fred throws in now.

Rachel never walked into Stern's studio. She saw the cameras, I guess through the window, and then either her or her publicist told Gary she wouldn't be going in because she wasn't camera ready.
Howard began his tirade as Gary (with a wireless mic) chased down Rachel to try and change her mind. She got in the elevator though and never came back.
