| As being a avid listener I think this was definately a shoot. The staff and him are caving in to the pressure that he doesn't have a deal yet. He is correct he is working for pennies and delivering great radio it's time for them to pay up, or he might blow a gasket. |

I don't think it will come to the last moment because, if Bubba's agent is smart, he gives Sirius a cutoff date for negotiations. If a deal is not completed or an agreement reached by the cutoff date, Bubba signs with terrestrial radio and his new radio stations can start promoting his show coming in January.
I agree with his blog that was posted/deleted that says Sirius favors big-named talent (Martha Stewart, Bam, Jamie Foxx, etc.) that may not have made their careers in radio, but have name recognition. |

But even if he gets fired after a week he has a contract and they would have to pay, look at Imus, so who cares if they fire you if you still get the check |

Can't argue with that shit if its true (the numbers he said for Stewart and co) since Bubba is definitely having more listeners tune in than they are. |

You are right. If Bubba won a powerball lottery he would give his guys 3-4 million dollars to sign a lifetime contract to stay with him and do radio. He loves radio more than money, but he wants and deserves to have both. |

I personally can't wait for Howard's spin on the subject (if it ever comes up). I imagine it would follow the usual response he gives:
"I've told Sirius management that I support Bubba and want him to stay with Sirius and you should pay him what he deserves." |

| How did this meltdown compare to the infamous "fireside chat" that happened some time ago? Damnit, I missed the show....this segment was the ONLY part I caught, and glad I did. I was cheering him on the whole time. As I said before, I will follow bubba wherever he goes....but I'd really like it to stay sirius. Then again, I can live without the shit programming on the other 196 channels I don't listen to. Bubba did say if he went podcast willy, it would be available to bubba raw subscribers. Hell....I already subscribe, not have to pay a sirius sub, and have the show on my ipod to listen to any part of the day I wanted. |

| I get a bad feeling that Bubba's agent is going to get a healtthy dose of "this is all we can afford" bullshit when negotiations begin. Even during Stern's endorsement of Bubba he talks about hoping they can find the money to keep Bubba. (of course that coming from the guy who broke the Sirius piggy bank) I'm sure they will blame the merger being held up and so on... :mad: |

Seems kind of funny his agent is up north this week and he breaks down like that. My opinion is he believes there is nothing left to lose. |

That's a possibility. Bubba did make some GOOD points.
If I had a million bucks I would bet Bubba has more listeners than Jammie Fox and Martha Stewart combined on sirius.
Old people watch Martha Stewarts show on TV. Do old people even listen to the radio when they drive? |

Surely Bubba isn't surprised that a deal hasn't been signed, sealed and delivered as of yet.
Several months ago he was talking about this very subject, and at that time he said a deal probably wouldn't be finalized until the very last minute. That's just the way deals such as this work.
He'll be back. |

Ever been out of work before? Ever been out of work for an extended period of time? Ever had a new boss (I assume) willing to take you and the old boss not extending your current contract? What would you do? Would you be freaked out about it? Just how close to beign out of work are you willing to take it before things get to you? Ever seen someone leave a for a new employer for these rasons? |

The only neagtive with Bubbas arument is...
If I ask 100 local people, "Do you know who Martha Stewart or Jamie Fox is?", the majority answer yes
If I ask 100 local people, "Do you know who Bubba the Love Sponge is?", the majority answer no
We know because we listen and are in the minority, none of my family, friends or co-workers have ever heard of Bubba
We all love the show and that's why we are here, but I just don't know much the audience can expand.
As an example...this section of SFN use to have tons of posters and comments....nowadays it is pretty much dead...the daily listening thread has usually under 500 post and most of the 500 are by a handful of the same posters |

Satellite radio is a niche market, and will likely always stay that way. My grandma likes martha, but doesn't even know what the fuck satellite radio even is. I'd bet assholes to oranges that Bubba has more daily listeners than Martha, or any other fuck on sirius sans Howard.

Tell some friends. I have 4 people that have bought sirius gear in the last 6 months alone to check out Bubba.

Some of us have big people jobs, and can't spend every hour of the day playing on the internet.
Oh yeah....I sent Brent an email the other day thanking him for his service and views. He was cool enough to reply thanking, and wishing me a good day. No big deal.....but that's pretty dang cool. |

Bubba said he wants a have his length of deal sync up with Howard's, so he is looking for a 3 year deal, and he said that Martha Stewart got 40 Million, and he doesnt even want that much.
Im guessing Bubba would like 10 million a year for 3 years, 30 million total, at the high end, he probably would settle for even less probably even half that amount.
isnt Bubba worth 5 million a year, I think at that price Sirius is making out like bandits! |

Bad example.... a large amount of posters switched over to a rival Bubba board where there is a much larger daily listening thread...almost as big as Stern's Daily listening thread at SFN.
Why the switch?... I haven't a clue. |

BUBBA UPDATED BLOG: at 11:44pm!!!
--------------------
hey everyone……came home tonight and tried to calm down a little….i am sorry for the outburst, it wasnt right……i need to not take things so personal, but sometimes i just cant help it…..our show is like a part of me.. and we all try so very hard to bust our asses everyday to give you a good show…..but sometimes i just get overwelmed, and after thinking about it…i need to just shut the fuck up, and let things happen on their own…….but i think thats the beauty of our show….its like reality radio, and sometimes stuff comes out that shouldnt…again, i was wrong for my outburst, thats all i can say……i am sure alot of people are mad at me right now……again i am sorry
bubba
going to pill the fuck up and go to sleep….
-------------------------
Bubba is stressed out about this whole negotiations, I wish he would not backtrack everytime he lets out his true feelings, His honesty at the end of todays show was great and made us understand better where he is coming from and what his frustration is about.
Please Bubba dont keep quiet on this topic, WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE!! |

Your argument is flawed because the content you mentioned is not exclusive. Harpo has a very successful TeeeeVee show and that is fine but neither Sirius nor XM are Teeeveee. The question you need to ask yourself here, why should I pay for radio? What do they offer that I can’t get elsewhere for free? Martha sure is a big name, isn’t she? Her show is free on TeeeVeee though and it doesn’t really translate to Radio.
Again…is Sirius a Radio or Television company? It looks great on a web page that you have Bam and Lance Armstrong on your company. I’m not knocking them but do they really bring in Radio listeners? They are value added content at best and I have to believe that a radio guy named Mel will see this. |

"Rival" is not the best way to put it. Plenty of people are fine with posting at both. People have their personal reasons for not posting here or there, and there is a history behind it that's not worth bringing up again. There are plenty of marks, here, there, elsewhere, and those that don't post on the boards. Board activity and post count is not the best way to judge Bubba's popularity.
He's got plenty of fans. The people at Sirius are fools if they don't realize that. |

Bubba isn't going to get 10 Million a year and I think he knows that.
I think he was only making 1 or 2 Millioin a year on regular radio.
He just wants Sirius to pay his on air staff, and make a little bit of extra money. |

Exactly. I doubt Bubba is making any absurd demands, he just wants to make money for his hard work. He does 4 hours 5 days a week. Not to mention all the other stuff on his plate. Bubba Raw, merchandise, Bamboozlefest, and potentially a TV show in the future. Some Sirius personalties have barely any involvement in channels that are named after them. |

That has been addressed, or maybe it was in the other thread which got vaporized - or at the end of the daily thread.
Sirius pays a lot just to have those 'brand names'. I think they partially over reacted to XM getting Oprah, about the biggest media 'brand name', because they were competing with Sirius. Those deals are signed, they are stuck with it. Maybe those people will cause someone to make a choice when buying a radio.
But Bubba not only keeps listeners, but he adds subscriptions because of word of mouth. He is giving content, where many of the brand names are not.

How long have you been on SFN Chrissygirl? Juyly 2007, hmmm, seem to know a lot about the history..... funny how that works eh?
Then you will also know that the daily thread used to crush any other daily thread on all of SFN. The majority of the hardcores went to a new forum, and do not post here at all, if so, very little. And then there are also the fan forums that were around before Bubba went to Sirius.
SFN is not the overwelming monster forum for Bubba fans like it is for Howard, and even Ferral. SFN is a poor guage on its own for Bubba fans - and that has nothing to do with Bubba or his show. |

| Bubba is right about the Martha and Jaime Foxx channels, plus show's like Bam Margera's which is shitty. Satellite needs it's own personalities plus some terrestrial shows like ESPN radio and Sean Hannity which is an example I know of that is definetly on terrestrial and Sirius. And I would bet more people listen to those than the overpaid celebrity shows. It is good to have terrestrial shows on the satellite since some markets don't get those shows or they are on a very low power AM station. Having Henry Rollins or another musician spin some tunes and tell a story about the song on a music channel is a good idea, having Bam Margera get drunk and make no sense bullshitting with a bunch of people talking is a shitty idea. |

I thought Howard did a nice job with his Bubba-defense. Stern has influence, but bottom line: he don't cut the paychecks. Howie showing support on and off the air is a powerful gesture. Bubba should have a little more faith (definately need to curtail the anti-corporate rants - those are counter-productive if this is a shoot). If I were a suit, I'd be scared shitless dealing with a guy that can't control his mouth when it comes to business in a shitty time (pending merger). He literally tore apart Sirius' top-shelf talent, on their own airwaves, during afternoon drive. Not cool...I have a feeling Mel Karmazin's gonna hear about that one. |

Very well put. I'm sure he wishes he could take all that back.
He can't, but those were his true feelings, so I hope he doesn't try to backtrack too much. He vented his true feelings on air, it can't be taken back, deal with it like a man now, |

Interesting ... he must be wondering Howards take
It was a great rant to hear & I agree with everything except a few hundred thousand cancellations if he leaves (way too much) but his other points were dead on
I don't think he helped his case with Siri execs though |

OK, we all know Bubba isn't get paid and that his contract his up. He knows there's a meeting on Friday - why doesn't he wait and see what happens instead of continued bitching and "podcast jones" talk everyday....it's getting old.
We know what's going on... so let's see what happens....
Everyone expects him to get a contract - the anger's getting overdone....but I guess that's just Bubba. |

I'll agree with you to a certain extent. I lurked for a while before engaging in this forum. I do that before I contribute to ANY forum. I wanted to get the feel of what goes on around here. If I remember correctly, you started off on the wrong foot with some elder members here by calling out the show, NT and Wiz for the Dakota incident. Hey, it's an internet message board and that's your prerogative, but be prepared for what you get back.
Right or wrong, there's a pecking order. Call it ass-kissing if you want, but I try to be respectful of the people that were here long before me. I was a guest in their house so I thought I would act accordingly. That's just how I'm wired. As time has passed, they've welcomed me in to the gang. I think. :scratch: |

I'm all for new Bubba fans getting involved here... spread the fucking gospel :dancin: ... But when people come on specifically to attack the show, I'll defend it like it was my sister's cherry. I've tried plenty of times with that crazy broad, and she seems to love nothing more than to point out everything she hates about the show and nothing she likes... People are welcome to speak their minds, but when it's got bad intentions, then they should be prepared to get flamed right back. I think you've fit in just fine Stumpy... I'm happy to see plenty of new members blending into the mix well here. Believe it or not, there's an amazing amount of good people on this board that will really surprise you when you need it the most. The support I got when my dog and truck were stolen absolutely amazed me, and I think it amazed alot of others as well.
p.s. 
...hijack over :dance: |

do a little reasearch before you spout of bullshit. With a population of over 2 million, the Tampa metropolitan area is among the top 20 radio markets nationwide. it is the 19th largest market. It is solidly in the Large market range..... look it up www.google.com |

awesome just awesome combacks.
I know I am new here hince I try not to get in any arguments. Thus I am supporter of the show. mseesh1, I honestly think you are just trying to flame here and I wonder why you have not been banned yet.
You have nothing to support your claims and all you are doing is trying to cause discontent on this board. Last time I looked this was a fan site along with Howards, If you want a forum to bash the show then make up your own, they don't cost much. Funny how you are on here in the meantime. Really gets me thinking what is your real intent.
I really believe they should bring the pay scale up for these guys,It was really good radio yesterday but I fear bubba may be stepping out of his circle due to the start of the Howard show this morning when that was the first thing they talked about. Proving it was not a joke.
Martha Stewart's name came up and it floored me when they said she was getting 40 million to do a show. I mean that is a little ridiculous when I would bet Bubba's show gets far better rating than her. I mean what does she honestly bring to the table as far as sirius radion is concerned. I don't know one person who listens to her.
Just my two cents. |

I think is Bubba and is a good broadcaster.
Bubba could never go back to testicle radio with the restrictions and crap - he will be too stifled for himself and too wild for the current climate.
If, and this is a stretch, Bubba does not re-sign with Sirius, he would certainly go live streaming on the Internet and sell commercials. He would be a pioneer at commercial Internet streaming live video on a daily basis. He could go even further and do exactly what he wants without having to answer to anyone but fans and he makes ALL the money.
I have been in radio for more than 20 years, I am a lawyer with regard to intellectual property and copyright issues, I would LOVE to be involved with something that pioneering and successful, because it certainly would be successful. Live broadcasts and downloads of segments a la Howard TV for iPods and computers for a subscription fee with the advertising removed, advertising on the live show. Hell, I'd go down and sell ads for him - I know his power. |

| I think Bubba, Brent, and Howard need to sit down and talk. Howard doesn't seem to take his claims of getting fucked with seriously. That has to frustrate Bubba and Brent. Think of all the stuff we've heard get shot down on the air and now think of all the stuff we've never heard of. But you can't blame Howard for not knowing what they go through, he purposely tries to avoid in involvement in these issues, and for good reasons. |

i think they are getting alot pressure from people to not do bits they want to do.
look at the whole 25 thing today, and the the whole n word, with lasker, it was a parody of there problems. even hogan hung up the phone saying bye niggas, and a chill went thru the air, they all looked to brent, i think sirius said no more lasker.
not to gang up up on tim, but he said in some fashion that howard knew how to use the word right, so no troubles.
there is my where lasker go theory, after his tirade on the n word thru comedy on a couple shows with bubba doing what he does onair, its just fucked up. i dont buy his work that they aint friends, you dont do what bubba did, and what lasker offered if they didnt care about eachother.
and bubba just sounds whipped by management, but not beaten. so hes gunna poke. bubba has a serious fan base, fuck i dont care if i miss a howard show. but bubba, i'm still pissed i missed his rant on what this topic is. and was three or 5 minutes.
howard is just trying to change his image, he wants to finally be recognized for what he does and done. and he knows that, bubba is what he wished he always had.
a hard hittin, what the fuck just you say. emotion grabbing show.
fuck you bubba haters, when your balls drop you'll get the show |

Amen to that.

P.S. I'm a newbie that was a lurker for a while too!!!:hump: |

How about Brent on Howard telling Howard that he is sure everything will work out & they'd get the contract after Howard asked him what is going on?
Artie said that the situation doesn't sound bad when Brent called in ... ;)
Sirius management obviously are not big supporters of the show but Howard is & unless BTLS are asking for an insane amount it should be worked out (like Brent said) |
