Mutt

Give me your pleas & suggestions for Fridays. I'll summarize em & get em to the man.

I had my own plan to move the show to 9AM but I've since found out that the 7AM Eastern radio time slot is a big deal and good for the Bubba show. fuck my plan. We need something else.

So, What's good for the show? What's good for the fans? How can this be better? I'm going to see Tim this afternoon so shoot me real suggestions

Before you just say something, you need to look at the whole schedule. Every change effects the rest of the day. What ever is done to fix Fridays needs to fix the whole day. They won't even consider a change unless you have a full solution.

3-16: My Old Plan

I strongly believe that they should move Bubba's friday show from 6AM to 9AM. but just bitching about it doesn't get it done.

This is the time the west coast feed always played, it would start right around the time Mastertape on H100 ends, and it's at a time that both coasts could catch it. We'd have a live morning show & still have master tape.

Now the problems. how to fix the rest of the day. whenever they change something, you need to make the rest of the day fit. it's why i can't get another hour for my show. too much other shit would change.

Before bubba would be the Ferrall replay as ususal. then Bubba at 9A. he's out at noon. then what? bubba's usually on at 3PM and the show needs to still play there. it's weird having it replay just 2 hours after it ended but fuck it. i think it works.

so what to put in the 2 hour block? it could be the news week in review show. it could be a Bubba show special show like the ned show, the wives, conspiracy corner etc. not sure. what i do know is that without an answer, it can't happen.

I've seen people bitching that the west coast doesn't' have a live show now and I didn't get it. i mean you never had a friday morning live show. then it finally hit me that you all were talking about the Friday afternoon live show that ya lost. duh. moving bubba to 9AM would cover that. you'd just have a morning show instead of an afternoon one.

do you have a different plan? do you like it as it? what's Bubba & company think?

UPDATE 03-17: a buddy of my pointed out that the 7AM morning drive is prime time radio. I'm not a radio guy so I didn't understand the importance of starting at 6AM. sound like we need a plan that includes the 6AM-11AM timeslot.

Pendulus Frenulum

I wish they'd replay Riley Friday afternoon. I never can catch that show anymore.

Pendulus Frenulum

Friday morning, I'd like to see H101 play Bubba live from 9 AM ET - 2PM ET, followed by the Riley replays (or Jackie or whatever other specialty show), followed by Bubba replay at 3PM ET. It's a lot of Bubba on 101 every Friday but that should be his reward for manning up and doing mornings.

SATANS BEST BUD

I say put bubba on Howard 102 24/7

how bout it

where is our third channel ?

canadian Bubba

i wish they would cut Riley to 30mis and replay Ferrall on friday after Bubba

cocksmacker

Reply Riley, and some Miserable Men shows in between. No Intern Show, or Jackie The Retard show though.

Valve

Add a third channel that is a 3 hour delay of whatever is on 101.

9am-2P!! that's 5 hours. i know Bubba said he's go late but ya can't plan for him to just do a longer show. that's why i was saying do a Bubba special show after. at least then it's a separate show filling the time slot that they could get a coulpe bucks for.

Bubba has been WANTING to go 5 hours. In fact, Bubba has stated several times that he'd do 2 live shows every Friday, one in the morning and one in the evening.

would be cool but it's not gonna happen. not until he can show that large numbers of people are signing up just for him. problem is, when you sign up there isn't anyway official to tell them you are signing up for Bubba or Howard.

it costs money to push out another channel and the money men need to see a reason for spending that money. plus, if they merge with XM, lots of channels are going to get killed. they are going to have too many and adding a 3rd channels is going to be that much more difficult. the sats can only push so much bandwidth so they need to pick what they want most.

Tankass

i really like the live at nine am idea, and just don't play mastertape on 101. It repeats on 100 at around 9 anyways so you basically have the same program on both channels.

Yea, that pisses me off. Last week it was like 3-5 minutes apart on the 2 channels.

I know he's saying that. he's a company man and trying to do the right thing. he's got contract stuff they are still working on and he's making himself more valuable. he just shouldn't have to. i think the show is valuable and hate that he's gotta go thru this. i'm not just thinking about whats good for us. i'm thinking about what's good for the show and IMHO, the show's an asset.

Mutt

exactly. the west coast master tape was overkill. H100 & 101 would be within a half hour of one another.

jimmyritt33

I sure hope Sirius isn't making Bubba jump through all of these hoops just to "grease" him at the end of his contract. Howard doesn't really have to go anywhere to promote anymore (other than maybe TV) and Bubba and the crew seem to be the go to guys to travel to different markets and promote. At the end of the day I hope Sirus gives the BTLS show a little bump up in salary.

I say trash MTT but Sirius wont do that,they wanna get their $2,000,000 worth out of it...the biggest problem in finding a solution is the fact that Sirius is giving a higher billing to MTT rather than Bubba....if Bubba is meant to replace Howard on Friday mornings then he should get the same slot that Howard fills the rest of the week......6am est on 100 and the west coast feed on 101 at 6am pst....

johnl

Well, he's going over about 20 min. right now. How about -

6am - 10:20 Friday Morning Show
10:20 - 2:40 Replay Morning Show
2:40-7:00 Replay Morning Show

Sibby

Johnl is on the right track
People still go to work on Friday on the east coast and you can't take away their drive time morning show either just to please the west coast .

It's pretty simple and very much like John said but go for the 1/2 hour more and you keep the same start time for the afternoon .

6AM - 10:30 Friday Morning Show (4.5hrs)
10:30 - 3:00 Replay Morning Show
3:00 - 7:30 Replay Morning Show

that leaves 1/2 for news etc till Ferrall or give the 1/2 to Ferrall

Didn't Red peters already get shown the door ?

You're welcome Tim give me a shout if you need any more help buddy . :D

One thing is certain here .
We don't need a replay of mastertape on 101 .
Mastertape is short enuff to catch again and again and again through out the day on 100 .

Mutt-
You more than most others have a birds eye view into the inner workings of the show programming and the dyanmics of the whole situation. You put a lot of time and effort into these thoughts and for that I am appreciative- to me, it shows you are doing more thinking than Tim Sabean- who I truly do not understand what the heck he does.

The problem on the west coast is that we thought we would have a morning show on for our commute- when we didn't get it live- we were willing to live with a replay- LIKE WE GET FOR Sterns show at 6am. We don't even get that.

We want something of an alternate in the morning to MTT- our commute here on the west is for the most part- long and tedius- I drive at least an hour and a half one way to work- BTLS show at 6am is like a zannie bar-

I like some MTT- just not on two channels- so what do I do? I tune out to the other channels-

Why does the west coast continue to be treated as if we don't exist? Howard even made mention of it this week- admitting that for the most part, the show has catered to the Tri-State area, which he admits, is not the only segment of listeners- eventually Howard will have to diversify and program to the whole nation, when he does, the fans in the east will see changes to their schedule and it wont all be in their favor.

Thanks Mutt-

I want to crash my car when Bubba gets cut off on the button for some bullshit- especially Jackie's show- that KILLS me. Bubba can do 5 to 6 hours no problem- he has so much shit in the dex to sling

One time they were about five minutes apart. There's no need for a west coast feed.

Casual

I think Bubba should be on at 9, but then it runs into the noon replay time. I feel bad for Bubba and everyone having to wake up early on Fridays, and not getting paid more for it. They should just stay on at noon. They are basically just on in the mornings for a small portion of listeners in the morning and it throws everybody else off.

JayC2002

East Coast jones here so it's all good.. I'd love to hear more Bubba and Ferrall on the weekends..

Right on Sibby. I know there have to be a TON of people just like me who miss the first couple of hours of the Friday show in the morning getting the kids ready for school and all... It would kick serious ass to be able to catch that content right after the end of the live show.

At the end of the day, 101 would only be giving up 1 MTT replay to do this. Considering how many times that program is run, I don't think that's too much to ask for... not much at all, really!!!

Can we email this idea to someone?

Yes - Bubba should be played on 101 like Howard is. The replay should start at 6am. Then bring back the Friday show to go on after Bubba. Or a replay of Ferrall because lots of people don't hear him because he's on at such late hours for the east coast. Then maybe Bubba's live show because he said he would do 2 on Fridays.

fabsabs

ill be listening to master tape theater anyway...but wouldnt mutts proposed schedule mean that east coasters would not have bubba live during the morning drive time?

MetalliChris

With all these suggestions about replaying Riley I'm now thinking it would be cool to give him a whole morning show on Fridays. Riley's been wanting more time (and more $$$) and this would be a good "put up or shut up". I think he could do it!

canadian Bubba

Riley sould just be happy that his shit is played on sirus if it was up to me he would pay sirus to play that shit everytime his show is on i turn my radio off but it is funny when he calls in the show

I agree...why not open the 3rd channel and use IT for the West Coast Feed...keeping 100 and 101 for original programming. That way Bubba could still run from 6-10(:20) on 101 on Fridays and the West Coast Would get their feed. That would free up 10:30AM til 7PM (unless bubba starts going to 11) for completely new programming on 101.

I live in Philly, but I feel for any west coast fan. I wake up everyday around 7:45am. So I wait till 9am to listen to Howard's whole show. Now with Bubba on Friday mornings I wait till 3pm just like every other day so I can listen to the whole show straight through. Now the show is chopped and 30 minutes short. I like Mutts idea of having Bubba do 9am-2pm on Fridays, that sounds like it would be perfect for east and west coast fans.

Howard was promised a 3rd channel...if its guaranteed in his contract does corporate really have a say in whether it can be opened or not if "Howard" asks for it?

Also, and I'm not trying to be difficult, but not knowing anything about satelite technology/buisness...how exactly does it cost money to put another channel on the dial? If it was just a west coast feed channel "Howard_West 102" which replayed a west coast feed of content from 100 and 101, with commercials (re)playing which would mean advertising $$$ coming in, is it really going to cost the company?

bobby_love1

Mutt,

We did at one time have a Friday live show, then Howard signed to Sirius. They had shows a couples times a month, then once a month and now all live shows for the Stern crew have been eliminated. Now we have a chance for a live show on Fridays and again we get screwed.

We do need a solution. I was listening today at 8am and 101 and 100 were playing the same show, except one was ahead about 10-15 minutes. Help me understand why they can't start the show at 6AM west coast time, by this time the show has already been on for 3 hours. Have an intern replay the already captured audio at 6am PST. Is it really going to cut into the other precious programming on 101?

On the Chip.

chopped? how so? and 30 minutes short? Bubbas show is always only been a 4 hour show, from 3-7 (or 4-8 when he frist started).

if it starts at 9...the majority of East Coast people who can only listen during their morning drive arent going to be able to hear the show b/c they start work at 8. Some start earlier...like me @ 6:30. ( Fortunately for me the people at my office arent pricks and dont mind if I listen to the radio...though that doesnt mean I dont miss parts of the show due to my reception going in andout.)

I say play Bubba's show from 6-10ish and start a replay of it on another channel.

Stew

how about not cutting the 3:00 replay by 50 minutes.....like they did today

Splintnote

I listen all day at work and that's how the programming should be set up. It should cater to people that listen to whole shows not the people who listen for 30-45 minutes during a drive into work. Also Bubbas show was chopped today during the 3-7 replay. Or should I say the 3-6:30 replay.

I agree Mutt, today they were running almost concurrently. I just wish that the Friday Bubba replay was played in it's entirety. I'm a West coaster and I like having the 3am show (for us) AND the nooner! CHEERS GIBRONES!!!!

SATANS BEST BUD

fuck it save some money Sirius.

play the Jimi intro

and the Jimi outro

call it a day

MatthewT

if they have to fill two hours by moving Bubba so we can hear him on the west coast, shit, fill the hole with master crap theater.

bubba's show used to end at 5:00 p.m. out here; decent drive time for me

now it ends at 4:00 p.m. i'm lucky to get 15 minutes in, and it's the last 15 minutes of the show.

Bubba's show is a deal-breaker for me now. If they don't fix the west coast feed, fuck it, this place sucks, i'm outta here :p

I like the idea of a 5 hour Friday show, and treating Bubba's Friday show just like Howards shows are Mon - Thursday.

During Bubba's regular time slot on 101, I'd be happy to hear a mastertape theatre, as well as replays of SFRT or something else.

But I've never been as ticked off as today when Bubba's 4 hours and 20 minute live show, got turned into a 3 hour and 30 minute replay.

I don't like the idea of having to wake up at 4:00 am to make sure I get to hear all of Bubba's show.

tonguechow

I was able to hear about a half hour of the show this morning on the way to work. It was between 5:20 and 5:50 a.m. on the west coast. It was when some of the crew was going to play topless basketball with some porn stars. I got into my work truck about 7:45, and it was MTT again. :( So much for Bubba working a 5 hour shift. I caught the beginning of the show at noon and Bubba said the show was going to be 20 minutes longer, not a full hour.

I missed the end of the replay show today, so I don't know when the show ended. Did Bubba go to 10:20 a.m eastern (7:20 a.m. pacific), or did he work a little longer? Just wondering.

Not only have they taken away our live friday show,now they dont even give us a full replay,talk about rubbing salt in the wound...I'm tired of having Stern this and Stern that crammed down our throats....anyone else notice more Stern propaganda during the Bubba show?Dont get me wrong I love Howards show but too much of anything gets boring after awhile and Sirius can stuff the master tapes right up Tim Sabean's ass for all I care...today they cut Bubbas show to play the news "week in review" I dont give a flying fuck if Jeff the vomit guy was charged with a crime,I dont even care if the sick fuck dropped dead for that matter,WGAS...Sirius is treating us west coasters like shit when it comes to the BTLS show,Im fucking tired of it...time to start another letter writing campaign I guess :mad:

tuff bob

The problem is really simple to solve but no one wants to mention it:

H101: Bubba 6am, followed by MTT until 3pm ET
H100: MTT, followed by Bubba replay, then back to MTT replays

but that breaks the unwritten rule of no other talent on 100. so :finger: to the West Coast

Nikki_CA

The West coast needs Bubba on Fridays TOO!!!! :mad:

Black Sabbath

Why is this so fucken hard ! Just replay the fucken show when it ends, no fucken brainer???????????We do not need MMT on BOTH channels. I e-mailed Tim @ t.sabian@siriusradio.com and he does'nt get it!!!!!!!!! Mutt what do you think we should do to be heard????????????????????????????????/

rigmover2307

even though i didn't have to be at work today at 4:00 am to catch the live show, id still have been happy if my 1:00 replay hadnt been all chopped up, butchered, and bastardized. Sumbitches

jlohlinger

I'm so glad I didn't get to hear it this morning live... bravo to whoever it was that absolutely butchered the replay... your consistency with fucking up this replay is simply remarkable... what is this now... three for three on the Friday morning shows and the same can be said for the countless Friday night replays...

I'm so glad I don't base my subscriptions on just the way this show handled... because if I did and something wasn't done to explain how the fuck it is that a corporation can be run so piss poor operationally that it's been over a year and we still can't get a set in stone fucking schedule or properly broadcast content... well I'd hope a better option would come along for the show so I could follow it somewhere else where it would be handled with the respect it's due...

That's if I based my entire subscription on this show...

do you have a different plan? do you like it as it? what's Bubba & company think?

Its days like today that im glad we have tim sabean running things and not anyone else.

The Truth

It's pretty simple, let Bubba go live from 6-11 AM on Friday. Then have his replay start at 2PM. From 11-2, play thee 1 hour episodes. I'd personally cum myself if we could get a Riley Martin 3 live show in between.

I wouldn't even mind if they had some sort of 'wrap up show' with Brent after.

So uh, Sabian if this is possible..

Friday 101 Schedule
6-11 Bubba the Love Sponge LIVE
11-12 Riley Martin
12-1 Jackies Joke Hunt
1-2 Insert Monday Night Show
2-7 Bubba the Love Sponge REPLAY
7-8 Eh
8-12 Ferrall

Look, everything is fixed!

There's NO need for Mastertape West Coast feed.

Your missing the point! Most of the country is not getting a morning show!!!! Your plan would not fix that! we need the show moved to 9:00 or I say just replay it after it ends live, that would be aprox. 7:00am west coast time................

Why not put Master Tape Theater on H102? Have the 3rd channel be all of the classic Howard shows and maybe even Bubba old classic shows?
How Bout That?

Mutt

UPDATE 03-17: a buddy of my pointed out that the 7AM morning drive is prime time radio. I'm not a radio guy so I didn't understand the importance of starting at 6AM. sound like we need a plan that includes the 6AM-11AM timeslot.

his show didn't get cut short. his morning show went long. there's a difference. they are real anal about their schedule so bubba is 3-7PM regardless of whether or not he goes long in the morning. there's a 7-8PM timeslot. like I said, you need a plan that fits the schedule. the show isn't going to go past 7 with out a major schedule change. yelling that you don't give a fuck about the other shows isn't gonna help come up with a workable plan. or you could just bitch and moan.

Also, and I'm not trying to be difficult, but not knowing anything about satelite technology/buisness...how exactly does it cost money to put another channel on the dial? If it was just a west coast feed channel "Howard_West 102" which replayed a west coast feed of content from 100 and 101, with commercials (re)playing which would mean advertising $$$ coming in, is it really going to cost the company?

Howard has already said there is no 3rd channel. it's not coming. the sats can only do so many channels and a 3rd howard channel does not work out

I understand that everybody enjoys the freedom that satellite brings, but if the shows all kept to a certain time frame, such as if your show is supposed to be a 5 hour show, do a 5 hour show. That's the most frustrating thing about replays. If the show lengths were pre-arranged, then everybody would be able to hear everything including the wrap-up show, un-interrupted. If they'd just stick to some kind of schedule, I think everybody would be happier. Just my opinion.

How about this:

Run Bubba From 6-11 on howard 100
The Ferrall Replay would run until 9AM on 101

At 9AM have a show that is a hybrid of Best of and the friday show would play until noon on 101 (what i'm thinking is the show would have best of clips and Jackie and Gary, Scott and Ralph could add in commentary and behind-the-mike stories to put the clips in context)

Run a Replay of the friday show on 100 from 11-2 and then replay Bubba's show in it's entirety
On 101 at noon rotate between live features like "The Ned Show" "Conspiracy Corner" and "Best of this week's Bubba". Finish with the Bubba replay from 2 to 7.

All times are EST
I know it's clunky, but just barinstorming here!
I wonder if they had Kid Chriss in studio to gauge fan reaction. The channels could use another talent to fill in some of the slack hours.

I hate the idea of pushing the live show to 9am, sorry. I am up and driving to work by 6am and my busiest point of my day starts at 9am. There is no reliability with the replay so I would miss the entire show then.

Mutt....The morning show went 4 hours 20 minutes....but the afternoon replay show went 3 hours 30 minutes it ended at 6:30 not 7:00....they cut it by 50 minutes from the morning live show or by 30 minutes in the afternoon time slot of 3-7

Rodehi

I believe your incorrect Mutt....the friday replay was 3.5 hrs long....unless it started early.I tuned in at noon pst (the usual start time in the west) and the show was over at 3:30...

Correct. The replay was fucked up. Minus 50 minutes overall.

but that breaks the unwritten rule of no other talent on 100. so :finger: to the West Coast

This really is the easiest solution. The Bubba replay on 100 probably wouldn't start right at 6:00 am PST, but within the hour.

What burns my ass is that Ferrall was all ready to go at 7:30 last night. I realize that it's no big deal for him to start a little early as he's probably in the building an hour before his show starts. Him being ready at 7:30 shows that Sirius planned to cut Bubba's replay short.

Do we really need three plays of the "Week in Review"? Let Bubba do 5 hours Friday morning and let the afternoon replay run until 8:00. The Week in Review still has it's two slots to run over the weekend.

greddy10

Cut all the special shows(but SFRT) give him that hour to play with. He can use the whole hour or if not, just play some music.

Hey Mutt! Thanks for starting this thread. You are part of the Stern Nation H.Q., so if anyone can help us, it's you. I agree that bitchin' doesn't help, but what else can we do? What other LEGAL options do we have?

Perhaps you can explain it to us, or find out for us, just want the problem is with Bubba broadcasting on H100 from 6:00 a.m to 10:00 a.m. eastern time, then replay Bubba's show from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. pacific time on H101? Bubba is replacing Howard's show on Fridays, so why not broadcast at the same times and on the same channels? Is it something in Howard's contract that forbids any other shows or hosts to broadcast from H100? Is there something in Bubba's contract that forbids Bubba from broadcasting on any channel but H101? Would Bubba be due a large bonus if he broadcasts from any channel other than H101? What is the buerocratic (sp?) holdup that's stopping a real live (and replayed) Bubba Friday morning show from being broadcasted all across Stern Nation?

First and foremost, we are all fans of the Howard Stern Show and the Bubba the Love Sponge Show. When Howard started taking Fridays off full time, we weren't happy. We get it. We got it. It's in his contract. Attempts were made to fill in the time on Friday mornings, well, with mixed results. Finally, Stern Nation has a chance for a real deal live morning show with proven on air talent, but it turns out, it's really only a real deal live morning show with proven on air talent for the east coast????? Is it really that complicated? It's not like we're asking for a manned landing on Mars in the next couple of months.

Thanks for the help Mutt. We're just looking for some straight answers. :)

[QUOTE=Mutt]UPDATE 03-17: a buddy of my pointed out that the 7AM morning drive is prime time radio. I'm not a radio guy so I didn't understand the importance of starting at 6AM. sound like we need a plan that includes the 6AM-11AM timeslot. [/QUOTE

I don't get why everyone programs to the morning drive people. Shouldn't they be programming for the people that listen to the whole show not the people listening for 30-45 minutes during car rides.]

replay the show back to back, end of problem..............I don't see why this is so hard????????????

JustRob

I got a reply back from Tim this morning...Anyone else get one back?

Rob,

I appreciate the fact that you are listening to Howard 100 and Howard 101 on Sirius Satellite Radio!

The channels are a work in progress and we are constantly looking for ways to improve the service to our subscribers.

Moving Bubba to Mornings on Fridays has been a very positive move. Unfortunately we had a technical glitch this past Friday. With computers you can always expect the unexpected and we had a lock up causing the reply to lose a few minutes of the show.

I apologize for any problems and know that we are always doing our best to keep you satisfied.

Once again thanks for listening to "The Best Radio on Radio"...Sirius Satellite Radio!

Sincerely,

Tim

JustRob

Mutt

The Show got Cut at 3:30 Pacific time...So if we stick to your statement that the show is 3 to 7 the show was cut by 30 minutes...

Sabean blamed it on a computer lock up but yet the week in review started smoothly

I offered up my solution here and to Tim with no explanation of why it wouldn't work

at this point I'm just content on catching what I can of the show then exploring the other channels when my listening experience on H 101 gets screwed by a "Glitch"

Thanks for your effort in asking us all for possible solutions though

Roguepainter

Ok Mutt I am all for it what do we need to do emails phone calls what let me know i will help anyway i can :D

They say Computers are only as smart as the person telling it what to do. So they must need some new people operating the computers.

Deathshead

And if it goes long on Friday afternoon who cares its only going to cut into the week in review, which is basically a slot filler because they canned red peters. The week in review is geared towards hardcore stern fans, and if they are hardcore stern fans they already know whats going on. Hearing Shuli drone on about a gig, and his interview with Jackie is not halk as entertaining as a "live" or new show

mega shmega

We get fucked out here on the west coast unless you have a stiletto/s50 or wanna get up at 3 am to here it in the morning hours.
They want Bubba to do the main morning show, so it should be treated like one, 6am east and WEST, just like Howards show on 100 and 101. Weve got the rest of the day and weekend to hear MTT, thats all .

The "glitch" was that they didn't think the West Coast would know they weren't using lube. We noticed.

hardcoregamer16

mega shmega I agree with you they should treat Bubba's morning show the same way they treat Howard's morning show. Heres what I think stop airing MTT on 101 cause u hear it enough on 100. If Bubba goes to 11 than u don't have to have to fill that 7 to 8 timeslot and the Week in Review can air at 2 to 3 followed but the replay of Bubba's morning show. Also reply Bubba's morning show could air after the live one. That way you get back to back Bubba and everyone wins.

To easy, Tim has to over fucken think everything! Just replay it after the live feed ends..................

Ok everyone needs to stop complaining since day 1 thats all you do.Howard didn't come over to Sirius so you would complain even more.First you complain about the Friday show they get rid of that and put on Mtt than you complain about that and now you want The Friday show back instead they give you morning bubba and now you complain about that the show is played 3 times that day 6am 1pm and 1am on friday thier is no reason that you all shouldnt be able to catch it if you want a live morning show west people wake up at 3 if you just want to hear Bubba and time doesent matter then catch a replay the channels are called howard 100 Howard 101 to corprate howards show matters the most thats why thiers a live and west coast feed.I love the bubba show but i usually just listen to a replay cause its not a big deal just be happy he is on Sirius and be grateful cause i believe the only reason he is thier is cause of Howard vouching for him you wouldn't know who he is if Sirius didn't give him a chance.All im saying is just be grateful howards on sirius and Bubba and Farell and yes even MTTbecause for younger fans it's a new experince.Also Who knows too many emails complaining and corprate might not renew his contract cause they figure its too much trouble keeping Bubba between the emails his fireside chat and all the times he has pissed corprate off which is quite a few times he may not be back.And i don't want to see Bubba go and i also think bubba was better off in the afternoons on Fridays cause its just getting too complicated everyone wants the schedule to change on Fridays its just getting way to complicated.

hardcoregamer16

I now see were u r going BHF22 MTT is good 4 the younger fans, but why does MTT have to be on 101 the same time it is on 100 it stupid seeing as how much they play it on 100.

You've got to be kidding me!

O.k. How's this for an idea. Let Bubba broadcast his show from 3:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. eastern (midnight to 4:00 a.m, pacific) so we can all equally enjoy the morning show the same way together. For those on the east coast who missed the morning show, I'm sure they'd have no problem waiting until 3:00 p.m. eastern to hear the MORNING show. If we west coasters can enjoy the MORNING show at noon, the east coasters can enjoy the MORNING show at 3:00 p.m eastern, riiiiiiiiight?

It took a year of complaining to get a real live Friday morning show with proven on air radio talent. Bubba's show is the perfect solution, but the scheduling is fucked up. If you went to your favorite restaurant and ordered the top of the line steak dinner, and they brought you a bowl of Alpo.....would you complain? Or would you just be "grateful" that they brought you something to eat?

It's simple. If Bubba can't play a morning show on the west coast, just cancel the whole idea and let Bubba and the crew sleep in. We wouldn't notice the difference on the west coast. We haven't noticed the difference now. It's all the same to us. We love Bubba's show, but there's no morning show out here.

And it's SO EASY to fix!! But the lumbering, sluggish, creaking beurocracy(sp) just can't seem to figure out how to fix. Very sad. :(

For me to get up at 5 am my time, forget about it. If I do that I end up putting in a 16 hour day, since I don't like to break and will work to the sun goes down. A nine am eastern time start is much better for me.

BonswanaMiliken

It just does not make sense for MTT to be on 100 and 101 at the same time. A replay of Bubba's Friday morning show as soon as the live feed is over makes the most sense. A 9am east coast start time would be a good plan b.

TheRogue

Yeah, I agree. As much as we love Howard...Master Tape Theatre replays over and over, and at the end of the day, you can always catch Bubba live, and THEN MTT that afternoon. So, yeah...I kinda think MTT should be bumped for now.

P-51

I think new material should come first no matter who it is. Man, I'm starting to hate Friday's cuz I can't hear Bubba in the morning here on the West Coast. This is a work at it's finest. FTPIBSIOH!

tonguechow

I sent Tim an email yesterday and got another polite, professional email back, but it still didn't have a solution for the lack of a real deal Friday morning Bubba show on the west coast. He reminded me again that there was a replay at NOON. Oh, that's right! Just like the regular shows from Mondays to Thursdays.

It's obvious that we aren't going to get any real help from Tim. We still haven't been told what the exact problem is, and there doesn't seem like there is any real customer service to try and correct the problem so all of Stern Nation and BTLS Nation can enjoy a real Friday morning radio show with proven radio talent. We're going to have to send emails and snail mails and make phone calls to the higher ups at Sirius to get this problem corrected. Plus, we could always write to Congress about this. Yes, I know that Congress has a BILLION other things to worry about, but with the merger in the works, it just might give us a little bit of leverage.

Mutt

Give me your pleas & suggestions for Fridays. I'll summarize em & get em to the man.

Here's my last thread about the Bubba Fridays
http://www.sternfannetwork.com/foru...threadid=229227
I've since found out that my plan was no good because the 7AM Eastern radio time slot is a big deal and good for the Bubba show.

So, What's good for the show? What's good for the fans? How can this be better? I'm going to see Tim this afternoon so shoot me real suggestions

Before you just say something, you need to look at the whole schedule. Every change effects the rest of the day. What ever is done to fix Fridays needs to fix the whole day. They won't even consider a change unless you have a full solution.

Mutt

this is what I suggested but it's no good for the Bubba Show. The 7AM morning slot will help build the show. what ever you come up with, the show needs to start at 6AM.

Sonny Cornholio

Cant they just keep replaying mtt on 100 and bubba on 101 all day
