I think my new favorite part of the show is when the gang talks about technology. I just start dying with everyone trying to explain what everything is. "Sent from my honeycomb." Playbook, tethering, and tablets. I just crack up everytime.

I'm really irritated by the way Howard has been discussing the Sirius app, because I honestly can't think of anything that could have possibly stood in the way of his show being available on it before now other than Howard himself. Now he's completely overcompensating, talking like the app is the greatest thing ever, "finally our show is on the mobile app", like he demanded it be on there in his new contract or something.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe in his first contract with sirius he could not be on mobile phones. Maybe because he got a percentage of radios sold or something. Who knows, but I think it was a contractual thing. I'm pretty sure Sirius would have wanted him on the mobile app a long time ago.

Yeah it looks like his. He is bitching at someone about SSI and he watches Toddlers with Tiaras. I don't think an impersonator would make that stuff up. Plus he is yelling at fans, so it must be him.

Well it seems life the difference here is that all the content on this Sheen thing will all be free. 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.

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.

But don't you see? Fans expect the show the be on for morning drive because the only time people can listen is while in their car.

Cutting the show back to 3 days out of 7 just makes more sense.

I never really understood once Howard moved to Satellite why he didn't change the shows start time to like 8. The show replays all day anyway. Make everyone's lives more enjoyable. It can not be that fun waking up at 4AM everyday. I don't care if you are use to it or not.

Sirius/XM no longer carries BBC Radio 1. Looks like my girlfriend is going to cancel. That is literally the only station she listens to.

Looks like I might be canceling as well. Besides Stern, this is really the only other channel I listen to. Why would they get rid of such a well programmed station?

The Sirius/XM app for Android is absolute garbage. It plays your channel for awhile, and then it stops and crashes anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour into listening. Then you have to restart your phone because it just hangs at checking for updates screen forever. :suicide: Great job Sirius/XM!

Way off topic here but there isn?t a Sirius-XM forum, is there any way for me to get the ?special? stations on my SL2 device? Channel 400 is 24/7 George Carlin, and it says ?for internet or special devices only?. What the?? I can?t get internet in my car, and is this device I have not ?special??

From what I have seen the new channels are only available online through the web or through the apps on Android, BlackBerry, iOS, and a new radio called Edge.

Holy poo poo, they had round 2 of what is easily one of my favorite Stern moments ever yesterday, Eric the Midget vs Vince the caller.

For reference, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAaQIzsgr_Q

While still hilarious, it wasn't nearly as good without Artie this time around.

Yesterday with Eric and Vince as pretty good. Eric calls the guy a shithead so many times. I think what really annoys me the most about Eric is if everything is not exactly correct, then you are completely incorrect. "HEY JACKASS YOU GOT THE CALL LETTERS WRONG, IT'S ABC NOT NBC." Jesus christ midget.

Has anyone messed around with the new beta player for listening to music online? https://www.siriusxm.com/player/mybeta It is kinda cool. On select music channels you can adjust them through something called "MyControl". Basically MyControl lets you adjust the channel through sliders of more or less of certain aspect of the channel. It is pretty nice, getting a more tailored music experience to your taste. Apparently it will be coming to the Android and iPhone at some point as well. It doesn't however let you like or dislike a song like Pandora or Slacker, but you can skip 5 songs an hour.
