therapy posted:Yeah, sorry, but you're way the gently caress off on this one. I hate Robin as much as anybody but that article was actually entirely correct. I didn't mean to turn this into a huge debate. I personally can't trace a side of my family due to lovely record keeping and the fact that my great grandfather died at a very young age and his children have no memory of him or their mother. My wife is adopted and has no idea who her real parents are. So yes I understand it being an issue wtih black people in the US, but it's also an issue with every race. Not everyone came over here on the Mayflower and were given farmland. Blacks while getting the short end of the stick, were not he only race brought over for slave labor either. I dunno, to me it just sounded like Robin saying it was HER that has a problem because she can't trace HER family. I doubt this would be an issue for her if she could trace her family history. If I need to do an on air apology as per HR please let me know. pkd88 posted:Some people blame reverse racism for problems in their life or in our culture/society.

You are assigning something to her that does not exist outside of your imagination.

It's a really stupid argument we're having, so I'd rather not get too far into it, but aside from maybe Native Americans, just about no other race has as much legitimate beef with the way Americans have treated them as Black people. I mean, yeah, Irish were indentured servants and Hungarians were forced to work in coal mines and such, but they still generally weren't considered "property" like animals.

I never knew there were seriously women who get "vanity abortions" like that. Imagine meeting a girl at a bar and taking her home to have her say "hey I just had an abortion you'll have to put it in my rear end".

I thought that Kacey came off like a oval office and the other two girls were more mature, and yeah they laid into Kacey but she needed to be taken down a peg, and they humiliated her which I thought was funny. I feel that Melanie should have won. edit; LOVE KOAB, one of my favorite callers next to Ralph. The way he goofs on things and then laughs to himself on the phone cracks me the gently caress up.

Its replays from playboy radio with the porn stars he is loving and reaction to audio clips. I am sure they just grabbed to random DJs from other channels and just put them on there. Carolla said that when it came down to it Sirius, as usual, did not offer him any actual money to put his show on the air, and Adam doesnt work for free.

What I don't understand about Sirius/XM is that a majority of the people who have sirius/xm subscribe for Howard Stern. Why would you not invest in talent for the Howard Stern channels so that way when Howard eventually retires the subscribers will have a reason to stay subscribing to Sirius/XM because they have something that us Howard Stern fans enjoy. Getting good content like Bubba, and Carolla is a good way to keep us subscribing. A majority of the budget should be for other talent on Howard 100 and Howard 101. It is fun to listen to best of, but I would enjoy another live show on 101.

It does seem like a great idea to corner the market on all the best DJ's and radio jocks in addition to the music channels.

It is fun to listen to best of, but I would enjoy another live show on 101. You see that would mean that Sirius actually had a plan and people running it whom actually know what they are doing. Remember Sirius is ran by most of the people who ran radio into the ground by making every single station in the country the same and having the same limited talent everywhere. This is the same people who decided that people could live with 15 minutes of commercials in between 10 minutes of programing, the same people who thought that having the same 50 songs on shuffle is a great way to program. There is no "Post Howard Plan", there never was and there isn't now. I sincerely think that Howard was going to retire after the last contract but a mixture of his staff not having a plan and Sirius not having a plan basically forced him to come back. Sirius gave him the farm this time since they know that without him they are sunk. They ran the only other Stern replacement out of town and had him make a competing service. They continue to throw millions of dollars at celebs and d-list radio talent for little to show for it. It's obvious there is no replacement for Bubba coming. Sirius seems content to stick it's head in the sand and pretend that everything is fine. No wonder the stock is 2 cents a share. You can tell Howard has had it with how the company is being ran also from comments he has made. I also think he tried to make suggestions on things to do and was basically told to gently caress right off. I know morale is pretty low from people whom work there. The McCartney concert basically was a giant "gently caress You" to a lot of the people who work at Sirius. Most employees haven't seen a raise in over two years, were just all told there was no money for a raise or a bonus and then millions of dollars were spent on a giant celeb circle jerk that almost no employee was able to go to nor subscriber. There are rumors of layoffs coming soon as well. One of my friends is looking to relocate to a smaller radio market and probably make more money than they are at Sirius for a cheaper cost of living. I know I have been preaching the death of Sirius for awhile in this thread but unless something drastic happens soon to turn them around Howard isn't going to reach the end of that contract.

I love this loving Pet Lady bit. I've heard it like 3-4 times now and it's still great. I hope they have her on a couple more times, at least till it wears out.

Is it possible it is just too costly to bring all the talent to one place? These shows have large staffs and facilities to go along with the named star. I would think that syndicating (is that the right word?) existing talent/shows would be cost effective. They don't have any competition (one source of radio entertainment) but it may just be that nobody wants this type of service or to pay what it would cost to put it together.

They have 20 million subs with most paying 13 bucks a month. They are bringing in like 200 million a month. Probably more. That is a little over 3 billion a year. I know they have debt to pay off, but good lord, pay to get some some talent out of that. The Stern audience is your biggest audience, cater to them. I think Bubba was asking for like 2 million. Is that so much seeing has how a ton of people listened to him? It just doesn't make sense.

Burden posted:They have 20 million subs with most paying 13 bucks a month. As many people in this thread have posted, they will offer anyone a heavily discounted fee just to stay. 20 million subscribers yes but I think only a very low percentage is paying full price. If you buy a new car with a radio already in it, they usually give you one to two years free just so they can count you as a subscriber. They also hand out new radios like candy. I think if they fired all the DJs on the music channels would be so much better. If I wanted to hear someone read an article from Fark every 3rd song, I'd stick with regular radio. They playslists on the rock stations is also very "east coast". I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I think I've heard KISS played more on Sirius then I ever did growing up when KISS was the biggest thing around.
