I hate when they do this. I wish they would let us know so I wont get up so early to catch the show. I still love them though.

:rolleyes:

Is this Eric the midget?

Didn't they like just have a vacation like 3 weeks ago? this is getting ridiculous.

Waaaaaaaaa

KROCK 5 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 8 weeks vacation = free

Sirius 4 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 10 weeks vacation = 12.95

PRICELESS

I actually check the threads here in the am to see if he's on live or not. It's weird but it kind of cushions the blow to hear he's on vacation from the gang here.

Some people still don't seem to get it.

When they're not there in full force....it's supposed to make you
want them even more etc.


...more suckers...more subscribers? :)


Calm down......they will return.....they earn..I mean..they deserve their
vacation time off.
Try to remember the good times....they'll be back..and they'll make you
happy again....for now they are feeling happy by being away.

A happy Howard is a healthier Howard....and that's something to take into
Sirius consideration.


When the cats away...the mice will pay.

Everyone should have seen this one coming. After this week they will be back for two weeks, then they will be off until after labor day.

Another rerun? This is getting silly. I'm going back to regular radio for today, just so I can hear some live talk.

Seems to me the Stern gang isn't in to doing the radio show anymore.

Must be nice to coast thru a bajillion dollar contract!!

:rolleyes:

Thanks, you officially win Loser Of The Day.

Hey asshole, if you aren't clever enough to add anything other than a " :rolleyes: ", please do us all a favor and spare us from your razor sharp wit. We simply can't handle that much comedy gold in the morning. :rolleyes:

They hardly ever announce vacations. I usually rely on slip-ups by the staff and on some detective work by SFNers.
Oh, and on Mutt.

:o

i honestly have stopped caring about vacations. the show sucks in its current state, and sometimes it's nice to hear a time when howard cared about the show.

They are taking the week off because Wednesday is Robin's 55th Birthday.

She's probably in Paris or something like that.

We all know he is just coasting now. The show is good when they are on, not taking any of that away but he doesn't really care anymore. He's got the good looking girl, enough money to support everyone here and our kids for a few generations and he is an old dude now who seemingly works much harder to be politically correct.

Old Howie has long left the building.

Porn xxx comedy is not a legacy its a travesty. As you get older your comedy shouldn't have to resort to this. The gay stuff and porn stars is a lazy and no brainier way of getting attention
Real comedy takes work and these vacations are taking its toll on Stern and crew

Yeah, this one was a tough one to figure out with all the commercials for Sports Week they ran last week.

I quit complaining about unannounced vacations last year. There is no point doing it. Face it, Howard is in semi -retirement and doesn't care what you think.

I have been listening to Howard for many many years, he has NEVER EVER announced a vacation, NEVER EVER. If you are a fan of the show, you know when he takes them

If you listen to the show at some point..(last week Bubba mentioned Howard was on vacation this week)...someone mentions the show is on break ie: vacation....usually in a "matter of fact" subtle way...in a conversation with Robin..or Gary will mention it...... :yesshake: it's just understood....why should he feel obligated to tell us he's on vacation???? enjoy the other channels!!!!!!!! get into some great music!!!!!! :band:

No one's a troll, but I agree. I am so fucking tired of waking up on Monday, and hearing repeats, that I also, flip to KROC to get, at least, some time relevant matter. I'm no big fan, but, what the fuck, one more time listening to how Levy eats blue-cheese out of some trailer park trash's ass is enough to drive me of the edge.

What next?!?! hearing how he can't pronounce "Hedonism" again. Or Dice man... OR Riley.

Enoughs, enough.

Way to much time off... He is all about the money and not so much for the people anymore.

He already said he was gonna leave when the contract is up, hey he has to retire sometime but I think this is bullshit. Atleast put something live on and put MT on its own channel to run 24/7 most of it I already heard and dont really want to hear it again. Atleast sirius rocks and there is always kick ass music going.

They did announce on Sirius the whole sports week thing last week, that was after the 50 "Are they on vacation next week" threads.

It's nice to clue us in
It's mean to surprise us
Refrigerator

:p

They ran commercials all last week talking about this special!!!

haha...but thanks to the technology of Sirius...most of us can fast forward through the commercials...as well as all the regular segments of the show that have turned into the proverbial "dead horse".

A happy Howard is a healthier Howard....and that's something to take into

But is a happier, healthier Howard a funnier Howard?

i would be happy if they threw richard and sal in for the week, let them take the controls and get crazy!! at least its live content. plus i can always look forward to the Kidd Chris Podcast, he's always gold!!

KRock 20 minutes of commercials every hour of those 4 1/2 -5 hours a day

This is really lame. I love Howie and all, but Jesus H, they were off for two weeks, back on for two and now another week off? Nice gig. Wish I had that much time off.

Yet another vacation thread...geez. It's time to move on people...there are alot of other stations on Sirius for you to enjoy. I spend most of my days listening to Howard during the week I enjoy these off days/weeks to listen to other channels I haven't been on in awhile.

Didn't they like just have a vacation like 3 weeks ago? this is getting ridiculous.

Yes they did, and in another 2 weeks, they'll have another vacation. That's right, a week off, then they work for 8 out of 14 days, then they take another week off.

....been the same schedule for 20yrs!!!!!

This week was added to the vac schedule in 2006. Howard gets 10 weeks of vac now.

Here's the vacation/holiday schedule for the remainder of 2007 based on The Show schedule from 2006.

08-06-07/08-10-07 –- Vacation

08-27-07/09-03-07 –- Vacation + Labor Day

Grateful Dead channel preview on Jam On 017 until August 9th. This makes Sirius worth having with no Stern Show in the equation. No muss, no fuss, no disappointments over the blond girlfriend or the Hamptons mansion w/helipad or lackluster used-to-be-into-it shows or anything else. Irrelevant. I'd infinitely rather hear old Dead shows than old Howard shows.

Complaining about Stern Show vacation is like having the janitor complain about my salary and my vacation time. And people who complain about "paying for vacations" need to stop paying. Otherwise its all just mental masturbation.

....been the same schedule for 20yrs!!!!! :yesshake: it's just understood....why should he feel obligated to tell us he's on vacation???? enjoy the other channels!!!!!!!! get into some great music!!!!!! :band:

The difference here genious, is that we are paying to hear Howard. There is nothing "understood" about the decline in show quality and the excessive time off. Many of us are not interested in other channels and subscribed to the service to hear Howard and for the most part nothing more. It's good to maintain a positive attitude and be a loyal fan, but at the same time it gets to a point where it's just fucking rediculous.

come on....howard only gets 600k a show...........he needs a break.

Vacation sucks but..... Sports Theme? Really uninspiried.

Amazing, one would think people would get off the "I pay for Howard, he's my dancing monkey now!" argument.

After much thought on this issue and reading all the posts. :bigthink: I really don't care if they're off or not. :thinker: I'm pretty much over it. :whistle: when they come back I'll listen,when the contract is over I won't. The show hasn't really been the same since Howard became so tight lipped, :notgood:

I knew last week from Bubba's show that Howard would be down this week, and of course two more weeks come labor day. I like Bubba's work ethic, he is more in tune to the listenors vacation mindset. Work, Work, Work,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing, one would think people would get off the "I pay for Howard, he's my dancing monkey now!" argument.

Oh I see, since it's been a year and half I should just shut up and be happy about more vacations and the show's content sucking as of late. Pffffttttt. Where would we be if everyone had such a complacent attitude?

The only thing that is amazing, is the people that support the excessive time off and decline in show quality. But hey, if you complain a bit, you must not be a fan and should cancel.

I wonder if the off air people, Richard, Sal, JD, etc. have to work on the Fridays and vacations or is there a skeleton crew? I absolutely hate the phony phone calls and I fast forward through all that shit. It's bad hackey radio. It seems like a way for them to do less talking. Also I fell that the quality of guest has really gone down in flames lately. Post Sattellite Howard can't snare the good guests. If this was about good radio and not ego he would appoint a guest host. For all his faults Carson didn't hose his fans and NOT give them new programming to watch 5 days a week this often. Howard could afford to pay someone to fill in for him, but I think he's too insecure to do it.

Good luck to you guys trying to defend Stern. You have your work cut out for you. I like how last week he was saying no one would listen to Paula Abdul's radio show because no one would relate to her. Well who can relate to this prima donna shit? You take off 2 weeks. 2 weeks! This is a radio show. Fuck a 2 week vacation. Then he comes back for a few weeks and goes back on vacation? Yeah OK.

I love the show and have since the mid 80's. But this is not within the bounds of reason. There is an invisible line in the sand that has been crossed. I'm not even saying anything about the quality of the show. But he said he was gonna do some fridays, he never announces vacations. In fact he purposely omits any info having to do with vacations. And as a paying customer I don't like being treated in a sneaky way like we're all jerk-offs at his feet.

So go ahead and defend him on this. You don't know him and he doesn't know you, so why you're kissing his ass is beyond me. He is the greatest at what he does, but when it comes to this issue, he's full of shit.

Vacation sucks but..... Sports Theme? Really uninspiried.

OHHHHH, I thought it was the Snore Theme ;)

Vacation again? Someone start a poll on who thinks they take way too much time off!! someone please calculate how many hours they work a year,

Ok, lets see here,


they work only 4 days a week, at lets even say 5 hours a day. so 20 hours a week. PART TIME BY THE WAY, they are part time employees.

OK so they get 10 weeks vacation a year seems like right? so they work about 40 weeks a year lets say, because of various other days off.

so 40 weeks x 20 hours = 800 hours a year!!

Compared to the average full time working american which the stern show represents. which works-

40 hours a week x lets say 50 weeks per year (vaca) = 2000 hours a year!

So Howard= 800 hours
Full time american= 2000 hours


and they have to sit and talk, I think this is the begining of the end.

He probablly wishes he didnt even have 3 years left.


Artie should start his own show with George, I think that show would be just as good, Artie, George, Fred, Robin and who else?

I hate when they do this. I wish they would let us know so I wont get up so early to catch the show. I still love them though.

How about getting up early and going to work?

Wow, spelling genius wrong when trying to insult someone's intelligence makes you look like a total nimrod.

I realize I am in the minority, but I don't care. I love the show, I don't mind if they take vacation. Maybe when you become the manager at Taco Bell, they will give you plenty of vacation time too.

Maybe the people who are happy for Howard just don't post, but I am. I have been a real fan for over 20 years and I am actually happy and proud for them. They deserve more time off for all the great laughs they gave me over the years.

These whining assholes about 12.95 a month. You pay 12.95 to get Sirius, which isn't only Howard. If you don't like paying, STOP PAYING AND SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

How pathetic is it to whine about it when you pay AND you fucking come on a Howard Stern fan site? It's obvious if you're doing all this you're a big fan, stop lying to yourself already. Jesus.

They hardly ever announce vacations. I usually rely on slip-ups by the staff and on some detective work by SFNers.
Oh, and on Mutt.

:o

I think it was pretty obvious this time. The end of the Thurs. show Howard said "I will see you, blah blah blah." Had to censor himself.

I think it was pretty obvious this time. The end of the Thurs. show Howard said "I will see you, blah blah blah." Had to censor himself.

The only reason he does that is because he is purposely trying to DECEIVE the listeners. To me that is equally offensive as the vacations.

You guys are fuckin nuts.

How are you defending this? Shut the fuck up. Why are you kissing so much ass?

He should retire or work. If you're gonna do a radio show, then do a fucking radio show. If in a 6 week span, you take 2 weeks off, do 2-3 weeks of show, then take off another week, maybe it's better to call it a career.

If it was reasonable, he would announce the fucking vacation. He knows it's horseshit, hence the lying about it.

I am totally cool with the fact that he takes vacations. What I want is for them not to play reruns from any of the sirius shows. No roasts, no sports week. Just put on OLD shows that we have never heard. Thats all I ask. Oh and to all you people bashing the show, your negative opinion doesn't matter on this board. If you have a negative opinion you are an asshole.

http://www.markbolster.com/stern/images/dawnofdead.jpg

as a fan from his wnnnnbc days,there isn't another entertainer out there doing what howard does,for as long as he has.all the bitching and moaning about their off days/vacations means just one thing. you all love listening and can't bring yourselves to pull the plug and cancel.so enjoy the shows when hes on because one day he wont be and how quiet will the mornings be then????

Some people still don't seem to get it.

When they're not there in full force....it's supposed to make you
want them even more etc.


...more suckers...more subscribers? :)


Calm down......they will return.....they earn..I mean..they deserve their

Why cant you just die already. :rolleyes:

Another "sneaky surprise"? he's been doing this S$%^ for 25yrs....

Can't wait when they come back whenever the hell that is and they read the e-mails and take phone calls on how great the content was when they were gone! NO MORE BULLSHIT

Vacation is just part of the revolution, a rested Howard = great radio.

ohhh i guess the 2 week vacation 2 weeks ago wasnt enough FUCKIN COCK SUCKERS!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU HOWARD I HATE YOU!!!!!!!

IM NOT DOWNLOADING YOUR SHOW FOR FREE ANYMORE!!!

FUCK YOU!

Porn xxx comedy is not a legacy its a travesty. As you get older your comedy shouldn't have to resort to this. The gay stuff and porn stars is a lazy and no brainier way of getting attention
Real comedy takes work and these vacations are taking its toll on Stern and crew

I wish others would post this kind of thing. The porn and gay stuff has had enough air time. Well said Lord BallTar

The gay stuff and porn stars is a lazy and no brainier way of getting attention

Do I think it's foolish and gay to avoid saying "we're on vacation next week" and having Gary, etc. avoid the issue? Yes, for sure.

Do I care that a guy that's been doing this for 30 years, up at the crack of dawn for the majority of the time, is taking his vacation time? No, and I think all of the complainers should just shut the fuck up.

It's ending soon idiots, enjoy the next few years until it's gone and we're stuck with some garbage replacement like Bubba or Adam Carolla.

Vacations are fine but he is shady!I also hate the mastertape and best of tapes...they actually were better to me on KROCK....They suck on sirius....
I LOVE HOWARD !But the shows when he's off could be better...I actually use my Sirius better and listen to other shit....so I do get my monies worth reguardless

The vacation time gives me a chance to catch-up with Adam Carolla on 97.1 (LA)...!

I agree though, re-runs on BOTH channels really suck!

HEY HOWIE, how about giving Richard and Sal the 6am time slot when the Fab-5 go on vaca? I'd love to hear them deliver new and original material rather than boring Master Tape shit!

It was a while ago, but they used to have discussions like, "Robin, where are you going on vacation next week?"

they took fridays off during the summer at krock



WRONG

fuck all of you trolling vacation cunts

This is why the stock is holding steady at dick point shit.

Sports week? What the hell is Ferrell for?
Guess I'll enjoy some of the other stations for the week.
...Howard DID have a great week before their vacation, so thank you for that.

during the 2000's and particularly after the divorce they indeed did

Every Friday? Don't lie now!

I'll put it this way... I don't listen when it isn't a new show. If he's on vacation, so be it. I just won't listen until next Monday. No sweat.

This week was added to the vac schedule in 2006. Howard gets 10 weeks of vac now.

Here's the vacation/holiday schedule for the remainder of 2007 based on The Show schedule from 2006.

So we can look forward to almost 3 months of live shows Sept, Oct and part of Nov. Yippee!

And yes, this is my first posting - big friggin deal. That doesn't make me any less of a fan than you, only a frustrated one. :mad:

I have been listening to Howard for many many years, he has NEVER EVER announced a vacation, NEVER EVER. If you are a fan of the show, you know when he takes them Actually he'll announce the obvious ones like Thanksgiving and Christmas. :)

KROCK 5 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 8 weeks vacation = free

Sirius 4 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 10 weeks vacation = 12.95

Watch out for all the haters. I bet you will be called every name in the book for this post.

Remember, the commercials at krock were longer, so we are getting more Howard in 4 days then we were getting in 5 days at krock when you figure the commercial time :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :df: :rpo: :sm: :bigdown: :bigdown: :bigangry: :bigangry:

Most commercials are now 10 - 15 minutes. Terrestrial radio commercials are like 20 -25 minutes. So we get a big 5 to 10 minutes of Howard? Wow…. This is awesome. They can curse and we get 5 to 10 minutes more a week! This is so worth 13 dollars a month.

Just wait until next summer when the Mansion is finished.
He will be out the door at 10:00 on the dot. Can you imagine "anything else Robin" at 8:45

Cancel then. And then resubscribe when/if the merger goes through so you can ge 50 channels for 6 bucks.

Where can you download it for free???????????????????????????????????? Internets

The only way anyone should pay $13/month is if they did 5 shows a week, commercial free, and no more than 2 months vacation a year.. I don't think that's unreasonable.. (seeing as it's the Stern fans that are covering the $500,000,000 tab).

I hate when they do this. I wish they would let us know so I wont get up so early to catch the show. I still love them though. I wish I knew too. I would of taken the week off to :o

Exactly. Big deal.

Would be cool if they allowed you to listen to select repeats or segments via the Internet this week.

bottom line is
if you don't like his schedule than cancel your supscription
and stop crying

Pricks! It's BS when they do chit like this.............................

Hey dickwad, it's MY $13 last time I checked...
And the "only way anyone should pay $13/month" is if THEY see it as a value for them!

Thanks for trying to spend my $13.00 for me asshole, but I think you should just fuck off instead.

BTW, I'd gladly pay $13.00 to see you suck a cock...

So going by the name of this thread title, is the vacation in two weeks again gonna be called a sneaky and surprise vacation? Aug.24-Sept.3-Vacation, it's already planned. Is that gonna be a surprise vacation? Humm very interesting.

BTW, I'd gladly pay $13.00 to see you suck a cock...

Is that you Sal?

WHO PISSED IN YOUR FUCKING WHEATIES?? :pissl: :pissr: :rpo: :pissed:

Isn't it only because it's the summer that they're taking so much time off? I mean, after Labor Day they're gonna be back on the normal schedule, working week after week...right?? :omfg:

He is just lazy he got his money. I like him when he did all the work

I think I'm going to do what someone else suggested and did, get a vacation refund for the two months I don't listen to Howard. Great idea.

How you doin pal? :hw:

Methinks they are embarrased by all the time off. Thats why they dont talk about it.

bottom line is
if you don't like his schedule than cancel your supscription
and stop crying

Id rather just complain about it.

If you love the vactions so much, why dont you take one from SFN?

I hate when they do this. I wish they would let us know so I wont get up so early to catch the show. I still love them though.
Fuck 0ff Tr0ll.

The Show is following the same schedule they observed last year and at KROCK.

They took the first full week of August off last year; it was hardly a "sneaky . . . surprise" that they'd take the same week off this year.

If you actually subscribed to Sirius and listened to Howard's sign off on Thursday, you'd have heard him say, "We'll see you blah-blah-blah" which is his typical before-vacation sign off.

So, scamper off to your troll bored. Your kind isn't welcome here. :hw:

Hey dickwad, it's MY $13 last time I checked...
And the "only way anyone should pay $13/month" is if THEY see it as a value for them!

Thanks for trying to spend my $13.00 for me asshole, but I think you should just fuck off instead.

BTW, I'd gladly pay $13.00 to see you suck a cock...


i'm just saying that, after reading through threads on SFN, the average stern fan is saying they're getting scammed.. take it or leave it.

BTW, jokes are better if they're funny.

must be nice. howard must be exausted from his last vacation. what was it like three weeks ago? must be nice to be rich and famous.

If you had 10 weeks paid vacation at your job, wouldnt you use it?
If yes, how would you space it apart?

C'mon Weinee Mcmult,you coulda done better that that...

If you had 10 weeks paid vacation at your job, wouldnt you use it?
If yes, how would you space it apart?

When I take vacation, I at least let people know that Im going/gone.

Here's the deal... Didn't Bubba work a whole year before he took a Vacation, and he probably hasn't taken a total of 10 weeks yet.

There's nothing wrong with them taking vacation....but a head's up would be good

I'd infinitely rather hear old Dead shows than old Howard shows.
What he said.

Some "Stern Show Revelations":

I am tired of the vacations. Have some damn respect for the people who are paying for reruns that were on free radio. You got paid $500 million asshole, get off your f'n ass and earn that damn money. I wish that Beth would leave his ass, makes me sick how much he talks about her on the show and I really could care less about their relationship. I see why Ralph is so negative now, his party buddy is gone so he has to get mad at someone. Advice to Howard: ask Beth for your balls back, regain your focus, and stop acting your age.

I really do enjoy the "Classic" SIRIUS shows, but if I need a change, YOU ARE CORRECT SIR, there's always the GD preview on Jam_ON!!!

WRONG

======================================

They took Fridays off in August back in the KROC days.

^^^^????^^^^

KROCK 5 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 8 weeks vacation = free

Sirius 4 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 10 weeks vacation = 12.95

PRICELESS

And that 4 days a week means they get 52 extra days off a year. That's ANOTHER 10+ weeks vacation.

So now that I think about it, Howard now gets 20 weeks vacation!!! :(

owee

God damn you are back with a vengeance.

How you doin pal? :hw:

Good, buddy... How 'bout you??? :hw:

I tried so hard to stay away from the site during Howard's vacation, but I couldn't...

i'm just saying that, after reading through threads on SFN, the average stern fan is saying they're getting scammed.. take it or leave it.

BTW, jokes are better if they're funny.

That WASN'T what you were saying...

Maybe you should re-read your own message.

You basically insulted anyone who would be stupid enough to shell out $13 a month for the show. In your opinion, of course...

BTW, I'm funny as hell... :jj:
Jackie said so...

You basically insulted anyone who would be stupid enough to shell out $13 a month for the show. In your opinion, of course...

i think you spazzed out over something i'm not aware of... relaaaxx

what i said is that stern fans are getting scammed right now.. and that the Stern Fans shouldn't be paying $13/month for this quality of programming.. and i stated what i thought would help the quality of programming...

i wasn't telling people what they should do with their money as individuals (like you said)... i was stating my opinion that Stern Fans, as a whole, should be getting better programming...

maybe it came off too blunt... whatever, relax dude

I hate when they do this. I wish they would let us know so I wont get up so early to catch the show. I still love them though.


vacation time is the same each year.

Call Sirius and say how pissed you are and that you will most likely cancel soon, we did that this morning and they gave us "3subs same acc" two free months.... If enough people do that who knows, but i feel better!!!!!!

I'm not going to say Howard takes too much time off, nor am I going to say Howard should take more time off. But when your JOB (and it is his JOB), is to basically be a public servant, and serve your fans, then maybe it's time to DO YOUR JOB!

How can you say you're a radio DJ when you're never actually on the radio? I don't get it.

Let's be honest here. When Howard signed this huge contract with Sirius, we all knew we were going to get the uncensored version.....but not massive replays of old shows. We are hearing stuff we already heard FOR FREE.

I think if Sirius wants to be admirable about the whole situation, then they need to let future subscribers know that the Howard Stern Show will be off 10-15 weeks per year. A lot of people, including myself, only signed on to Sirius because of Howard, but now we feel duped.

If Howard and Gang need that much time off, then there is a definite problem. You don't take a whole week off because a co-worker is having a 55th birthday. If you're in radio, or satellite, you celebrate that 55th birthday with your audience, the audience that has been there EVERY DAY !!

Oh well, whatever. I won't terminate my subscription just because Howard hasn't lived up to the hype of Sirius. There is very good programming on Sirius other than Howard. But Howard is THE face of Sirius, whether Sirius likes it or not. And Sirius has made a deal with the devil that they will regret in the long run.

Excellent post!!!!!!

Sirius 4 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 10 weeks vacation = 12.95

PRICELESS

KROCK 5 Hours a day, 2.5 Hours a day of commercials, 22 minutes a day of Dead Air Dave. :rolleyes:

It's getting reGodDamndiculous!

Lucky there's nothing on that I can stand.. or I would dump Sirius! :mad:

Here's a brand spankin new forum for these repetitive whiney bitch threads:

Wow!!!

I don't know what's more frightening... This post or the fact that someone out there thought it was "excellent"... Both are pretty scary...

Cutting through all the long winded bullshit, the fact of the matter is that Howard's "job" is to fufill his job requirements as detailed in his contract with Sirius sat. radio. End of story...

If you feel "duped" because Howard is not working as much as you think he should... Oh well...

Who Cares Listening to the old stuff is still as entertaining especially when special Shows or stuff they do come around. The 4th of July Special was Amazing

Sorry dude, but you just don't get it.

The "Howard" that everyone is lamenting is the "Howard" who always went far and above his contract requirements. He spent an hour longer on the air every day than his contract required because he loved it and was on fire. Since he came to Sirius and got the big payday, he's been doing less than the bare minimum.

He would have never build such a loyal and rabid following if he pulled this shit for the last 20 years. That's why everyone is so pissed, we're getting a guy who is simply fulfilling his contract not the Howard Stern we knew and loved.

The 4th of July Special was Amazing

It's always nice to her from Jon Hein.

I, for one, absolutely love these "Classic" SIRIUS shows. To all the haters: if you think you remember every single moment from these classic shows, you're a goddamned motherfucking fucking liar. Just shut the fuck up and enjoy the show.

as a fan from his wnnnnbc days,there isn't another entertainer out there doing what howard does,for as long as he has.all the bitching and moaning about their off days/vacations means just one thing. you all love listening and can't bring yourselves to pull the plug and cancel.so enjoy the shows when hes on because one day he wont be and how quiet will the mornings be then????



:) :) :)

Everyone should have seen this one coming. After this week they will be back for two weeks, then they will be off until after labor day.

Another 10 live show month, lucky us.

They take less vacation than Pres. Bush.

You real fans know that he likes his summer vacations and he really deserves it as they all do. That is a shit schedule for a life and all. Most of those guys have a wife and kids and have to deal with them during the day when they have already been awake for many hours. Well deserved and makes for great convo when they return. chill....

Never fear at least 40 Health From The Hive commercials a day is here

Good stuff, right on the money - especially that last sentence. Is it any wonder Sirius stock is barely above 0.0?

its bullshit they only work 4 days a week its not that hard

We called and bitched about this and said we"my friends and I" that we were thinking about quitting. We are done with the vacations and the not telling us when they will be off.We have one main acc with 2 sub acc and they said they can give us 2 months free...... Its not about the money but come on gang talk to us, let us at least know WHEN you won't be in WTF.

KROCK 5 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 8 weeks vacation = free

Sirius 4 Days a week, 4 1/2 - 5 hours a day, 10 weeks vacation = 12.95

PRICELESS

you forgot
KROCK 10 - 20 min commercials = free
Sirius 5 - 10 min commercials = $12.95

also Howard would of retired if he didn't work out a deal with Sirius.
and Howard will probably retire at the end of this contract.
Don't people who have been at 1 job for a long time get more vacation time than most?

Sorry dude, but you just don't get it.

That's why everyone is so pissed, we're getting a guy who is simply fulfilling his contract not the Howard Stern we knew and loved. quite often he goes to and past 11am. a couple times in the past he's gone past 12pm. Is that the bare minimum?

As an honest to god fan for year now, I must confess that it sucks to wake up Monday and realize that it is the "Sports week" or what ever its called. Not the best material IMHO. Plus, vacations do seem to be a little excessive these days. I'd almost rather see them take longer periods less frequently.

Way to many days off, they just got back from a long vacation, an without any notice

It's the summer time, and most members of the media and people in showbiz who we are used to seeing on a daily basis have the same amount of vacation time.

They figure people can live without their beloved hosts for a few weeks here and there seeing as though its summer and everyone will be taking vacations, etc.

The problem is, so many of these whiners have no life once the wrap-up show ends.

He could at least say something on Thurs about vacation. I hate Monday morning rerun surprise.

i honestly have stopped caring about vacations. the show sucks in its current state, and sometimes it's nice to hear a time when howard cared about the show.

Agreed, a motivated Howard was much more enjoyable to listen to.

Isn't it only because it's the summer that they're taking so much time off? I mean, after Labor Day they're gonna be back on the normal schedule, working week after week...right?? :omfg:


Well not exactly. There is Veterans Day and several Jewish holidays then Thanksgiving and Xmas, buckle up.

That's me.

I don't care if they take vacations, but why the hell does howard or anyone never say a word the thursday before it starts

Join the Revolution

No more FCC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No more BULLSHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No more NEW SHOWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's me.

I disagree with you on your count of shows.

when are they coming back :p

Here's an idea about the vacation.

If they're gonna take so much time off in the summer do it all at once so they don't interrupt the flow.

Just to let you know, so that you wont be surprised, They go on vacation again for a week in 2 weeks.
