Howard & the gang were playing Bubba's rants from the end of yesterdays show & though they did a lot of laughing, they also gave the BRN a lot of support. Howard & Robin stressed the importance of having real broadcasters at Sirius that can build an audience & carry a 4 hour show. Howard went as far to say that if they do not re-sign Bubba, that he wouldn't want to have a second channel. He'd uphold his own contract & do his show but he wouldn't want to have have Howard 101. He also stated that the Bubba Show has far exceeded all of his expectations and if Sirius can't find money for Bubba, instead of penalizing Bubba maybe they should re-evaluate some of the other money that they are spending.
Tim came in and explained how when Bubba goes off like this on air, it makes his job harder. howard said how he understands Tim's comments becasue he knows from his own history that sometimes when you piss off management, they have no other choice but to dump you. it's becomes a pissing match with neither side willing to budge. At the same time, he says that Bubba making these outburst might actually help. at the very least they are good radio.
It was a huge show of support. I wish I had a clip of it. I'll grab it when it comes up on the west coast feed.
IMHO, the rant was worth it. It got Howard to talk about it once again and publicly give support. His no Bubba no H101 statement today was a powerful one. it's the most support he's given on air so far. |

Thats great, maybe it will reverberate toward some of the suits and changes can happen. For all the raunchy material he does do, when it comes to the business side he really is a stand-up guy, hes #1 at taking care of his guys and family and also puts on a great show most of the time. I'll be extremely disappointed if bubba is let go.
But bubba is only a portion of h101.. ferrel, jackie, miserable men, riley martin and other shows.. |

It's a logical statement by Howard. If Sirius doesn't pay Bubba, who has been a bona fide bargain thus far, to stay on H101, what makes anyone think they'd pay someone else what would likely be MORE money to be the afternoon guy on 101? So, with no other quality talent to fill that programming hole, goodbye 101, see 'ya Ferrall, yada, yada.
That is the suckiest scenario I can imagine, barring Howard leaving. |

I can't regurgitate it all word for word but I'll get the clip so we can all hear exactly what was said. it was a powerful statement and his meaning was very clear. I said on last weeks roundtable that i hoped Howard could lean on Sirius a little. this sounded like a little lean to me and i was real happy to hear it. |

Tell Howard to pay Bubba... :rolleyes: He did it for Jackie. If Bubba is important to Howard, thn Howard needs to make it happen.
Howard gives non-radio people shows on 101, he has all the power. |
|
|
| BonswanaMiliken |
Howard is right. Without Bubba ,101 is dead. Howard needs to flex his muscle and get Bubba resigned.
I can't believe at one time Howard was supposed to have 3 channels and now they can't afford 2.
H100 and 101 have got to have more listeners than the other 100 Sirius channels combined......pay the fucking talent you schmucks. |
|
|
| jmp1973 |
| Just like top flight athletes restructure their deals so that a team can sign another quality talent, Howard should open up his overflowing wallet and cough up some $$ if he truly believes Bubba is worth keeping. |
|
|
| Dutch44 |
| I think Howard has more power and say into things than he lets on. He will step in if it completely falls apart between Bubba and corporate. |
|
|
| Roundhead |
| I hope they resign him but Sirius as well as Bubba need to show more respect. They still after all this time cut Bubbas show off 45 mins to an hour early on the Monday mornings replay. Its to the point where i dont even listen now because i know its gonna get cut. Bubba also needs to cool it and stop biting the hand thats gonna feed him possibly. After today he should just let it all unfold and it will work itself out |

| Two channels would be a lot of programming without Bubba or Ferell. With only Howard's show, one channel would be plenty. |

| I'm not really sure how much Howie's statements today are really gonna make a difference in the big picture, yes he has some pull and all that but in the end it's Sirius who is gonna decide if Bubba is worth it. I honestly believe as hard as it's gonna be for him that Bubba needs to try and not flip out on air and snap at corporate as much publicly because that's honestly not gonna do him any good with anyone up in NYC, let his agent go in there and keep at the negotiations and if anything just keep that back up plan of his close by so if Sirius doesn't come through with a deal he can transition over back to either podcast or Terrestrial radio. I think it'll be a big mistake if Sirius lets him go but I wouldn't be totally surprised if they do |

I would assume that what Howard wants Howard Gets! His budget is $500 Million for 5 years I am willing to bet that he gets whatever he wants as long as it fits in line with that money. He may stay behind the scenes but he still has the power to program his 2 channels whatever way he feels like. The shows, and everything associated with them, come from that contract. Just because someone else, Tim Sabien, programs them does not mean Howard has no control or say so at the end of the day. He just choses to stay out of it so to speak as it will somewhat undermine his management team. At the end of the day the channels are Howards, hence the name Howard 100 and Howard 101. The man's name is on them and anything that happens on them is on him and his reputation. Howard has not lasted this long and made it this far to not have control of his name and channels. |

Why should Howard pay Bubba out of pocket, like Jackie?
Bubba doesn't contribute to the Stern show, in theory, he's supposed to generate interest and subcsription for Sirius. Having Stern pay for Bubba would be like Stern kicking in to help the Jaimie Fox show pay for an engineer.
Bubba is pissed off because he's in a crappy situation. He needs Sirius because he's reputation has made him undesirable on terrestrial radio. His experience was XM wasn't great. And Sirius, under the wing of Stern, is his last/best chance. If he over plays his hand, he'll just wind up out of work, or grossly underpayed by some AM Tampa radio station.
He's in a bad spot right now. That's tough for a guy who was really very successful through the 90s. |

Howard controls a $500 Million dollar 5 year budget, minus his pay and minus what the studio cost him out of that. Out of that budget all programming is to be paid for and everything else that goes on. Yes Sirius cuts the checks but Howard has final say I am sure. He has management that does everything for him so he does not need to worry about it. But I am sure if he needs to he will step in and make changes if that is what is needed to make everything work for his two Channels. |

How is Bubba supposed to generate subscriptions when he is not advertised as Sirius Talent? They always bury his show in the literature. I remember Bubba ranting about this on the air. Sirius has never done much to promote Bubba. Have you ever seen Bubba on any of those TV comercials? Granted he was never as syndicated as Howard, but he never gets any advertising from Sirius. Bubba's job is to do a good radio show. How many people on here have said came over for Howard and stay for Bubba? |

100% agreed!!!! Been my sentiments for quite a while. The overthinkers really don't give Bubba much credit at all when it comes to name-recognition, but they seriously underestimate all of the truckers who've known about Bubba for a long long time, in addition to the markets he was syndicated in on terrestrial radio. Regardless of who's on the channel, you'd think that ALL of the Howard fans that the marketing has been geared towards would appreciate knowing that there are other like-minded shows on the channel prior to signing up. Hell, on the XM counterpart, you've got O&A, and Ron & Fez (who are radio nyquil as far as I'm concerned), and R&F only do like a 2 or 3 hour show every day on there. Perspective Sirius subscribers should be educated about all the incredible, uncensored, and original programming we get on this ONE channel for 18-19 hours a day. The sole duty of the marketing department should be to educate people on what we already have and appreciate here. Fuck the music... everyone has music!!!... I've been screaming it for the longest time now, PUSH THE EXCLUSIVES!!! Tell the world about the shit they won't find ANYWHERE ELSE but here!!! |

How many different threads are you going to spew this on?
From 8 k filed 10-6-04 - http://investor.sirius.com/edgar.cf...escending&Year=
"Our aggregate fixed obligations under the agreement are approximately $100 million per year. These costs include production and operating costs for the show, including compensation of show cast and staff, overhead, construction costs for a dedicated studio, a budget for the development of additional programming and marketing concepts, and payments to Stern and his agent."
It clearly states DEVELOPMENT not production and operating costs of other shows. The development of the "Straght Talk" with John the Stutterer went something like this.
Howard: "Hey Tim, ask John if he wants to do an hour on Howard 101".
Tim: "OK".
End of development.
The comment about Howard not wanting 101 without Bubba just shows how little he cares about the channels. While showing tacit support for Bubba, Howard is riding both sides of the fence in saying that Sirius has the final say. If Bubba is back in January (which I think and hope will happen) Howard will take all the credit. If Bubba is gone, it was Sirius' fault. |

| The channels are shallow in content as it is. If we lose Bubba and Ferrell we'd be fucked. |

| This is starting to piss me off. I pay for Sirius due to Howard's channels. Bubba was a welcome surprise, a qulaity show for the afternnon. Now they want to fuck with the best thing on the channels after Howard? How fucking dumb can you get, there isn't alot of talent out there, just ask Joel " I discovered DLR and Rover!" Hollander, Leslie chink star fucker and Tom "I discovered the Greaseman" Chiusano. Sirius does not have alot of options, pay the guy some money and stop schnoring your best talent. |

I love Howard, but that is my gut feeling also.
Bubba accepted what they could offer to pay him just so he could get back into radio. He has now proved himself (but maybe not to the right people), and if nothing else, the thumbs up from Howard could go a long way for Bubba in any business venture, or with his offers for terrestrial deals.
This is all pretty premature thinking, since they haven't even sat down for the first round of negotiations. Hopefully Bubba will be pleasantly suprised, and they will make him an offer he can't refuse. |

I think you might be a bit right in this.
The thing is Howard and his Show, and Tim Sabean do NOT want Bubba to go for all sorts of reasons such as.
-They really do like him and the entertainment he brings
-Having him not on the channels will create a TON of work for the rest of them
-The complaints and whining will be frustrating to deal with if he leaves
Etc |

I'm going to go on a tangent here.
I've for years looked at XM and SIRIUS like players in the game MONOPOLY.
TOP SHOWS and TALENT are like the TOP Properties.
SIRIUS is winning the game because they landed BOARDWALK with STERN. Not many people win Monopoly without Boardwalk.
SIRIUS doesn't have much money but they just landed on Park Place. DON'T LET IT GO. |

HELL THIS GOOF CAN GET SIGNED WHY CANT BUBBA ??????????
Sirius Satellite Radio personality "Cousin Brucie" Morrow prepares an ...
NEW YORK - Sirius Satellite Radio said Wednesday it re-signed legendary classic rock DJ Bruce Morrow, known on-air as "Cousin Brucie," to an exclusive multiyear deal. The move came as something of a surprise, given wide speculation that Morrow would return to his traditional radio roots in New York once his contract with Sirius expired.
The loquacious Morrow, who calls himself Cousin Brucie and regularly refers to his listeners as "cousins," will continue hosting two shows playing music from the 1950s and 1960s for Sirius, "Cousin Brucie's Saturday Night Party" and "Rockin' with the Cuz."
Morrow worked for oldies station WCBS-FM in New York from 1982 to 2005. In June 2005, WCBS changed the station format to adult hits. Morrow joined Sirius within weeks of the switch to continue his shows.
When WCBS switched its format back to oldies this year, many thought Morrow's return to the station was inevitable, but Morrow said in an interview his reason for joining and staying with Sirius was simple: "Commitment to a generation of music and a commitment to me."
Morrow has been a radio host since the 1950s, working at stations like WCBS, WINS and WABC in New York.
His career has taken him from introducing the Beatles with Ed Sullivan at one of their first U.S. concerts in New York to working as a music consultant and appearing in the movie "Dirty Dancing."
With the dwindling number of oldies-dedicated stations, much of Morrow's work these days is aimed at keeping the music he helped bring to American homes in the '50s and '60s on the air and opening it up to new generations.
The music of the youth in the '50s and '60s is now the music of parents and grandparents, Morrow said, "and they still want to hear their music."
Morrow's role at Sirius will expand as part of the new deal as well. He will host special live broadcasts from events in New York and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and also highlight local New York events and facts on Sirius's New York traffic channel.
The financial terms and length of the deal were not disclosed. Morrow acknowledged he was approached about a return to WCBS before signing the deal, but said ultimately he was content at Sirius.
"I'm happier here than anytime in my life," Morrow said.

| I'm trying not to think about it. I'm not sure what i'd do if they didn't re-sign Bubba. Sure you probably keep it for all the sports and music, but it wouldn't be the same. I record the re-shove every night on my S-50. Usually i'm a few days behind on both shows. It makes for a really fun day at work when i'm listening to Howard or Bubba. It just wouldn't be the same without Bubba. |

That is a fucking perfect way of saying it!!!!
I could hear a bumper of those exact words, over the POD song 'Boom' that Bubba played as an intro to the first show on Sirius.
Boom, here comes the Boom, here comes the boys from the south.... |

| I like Ferrall's show but unlike Bubba's show it can exist without the foul language. He could be the headliner on 123. Really he should've replaced Dan Patrick on ESPN but ESPN tried to be politically correct and replace him with black hosts with the Uncle Tom Mike Tirico and man who is really resognates (spelling) in middle white America, Steven A. Smith. With as many markets as ESPN has now plus satellite you think they could have done better than that. |

Howard saved the company you idiot & there would not even be the choice for BTLS bc Siri would have been history & folded by now.

You need to understand that the Martha & Foxx signings were to get awareness to those taget audiences.
Also Martha gets premium advertising dollars while a show like BTLS doesn't again bc of the demo's
Oprah was a desperate attempt from XM to combat "The Stern Effect" & the Foxx signing from Siri was dumb IMO but Martha & her brand I can almost see the 8m a year bc she was the first big name to air on SatRad
I stated in a few other threads they should market BTLS in trucker mags, nascar, etc more & make him Siri's Southern Blue-collar, UFC fighting grease monkey voice while Howard is the mainstream getter. I don't think BTLS could come close to ever replacing HS but he could carve out a niche for sure |

Bubba said they didn't even advertise him in Flordia where he was big, He wanted them to put up a billboard or something to let the FL people know he was back.
I think advertising him where he was number 1 would have been better than getting Martha or Foxx, seriously do you think there is one person in the USA that bought Sirius for Martha or Foxx? |

He was syndicated in several states before he got the axe Im sure it would bring in lots of subscriptions if they advertised in those areas /shrugs it doesnt make sense |

Martha = yes
Foxx = NO
I agree they should have done some advertising in Fla too |

I disagree with you.
Martha Stewart sucks ass and should stick to inside trading |

Here's the rub. Stewart was not charged with insider trading. She was charged with obstruction of justice for lying to invetigators who were investigating the insider trading. I don't like the bitch but she was fucked over, possibly because she was a huge contributor to the Democrats and not the Republicans. |

I doubt you'd see that the boys still seems to have a great work ethic they care about the content they put out, It's hard to do great radio from the Hamptons |

I bought sirius for bubba. He was a jock 10-15 years ago on a local station (104.7 WIOT - Toledo, Ohio) for about a whopping two weeks before disappearing. I was a daily listener then, and one day he just disappeared from the airwaves without another mention of his name. After a couple days absence, I called the station and asked what the fuck happened to Bubba. They told me they had no idea, and that they found his car in the parking lot with the doors open, and he was never seen again. Assholes.....I'd LOVE to get the real iggy on what went down there.
A few years later when reading some of the sprint car forums online, I'd seen his name mentioned here and there. I followed it a little bit here and there when I thought about it since I was a fan of his, and a huge sprint car fan (bubba, get out of the taxi cabs ;) The next big thing I heard about Bubba was him being fired from smear-channel after Janet's floppy chocolate pancake flopped out of her gravity defying top.
About a year ago, a friend of mine was filling in on drums in my band. We got on the topic of Sirius radio, which I knew nothing about. Howard came up, and he mentioned that if I get the chance, I should check out a guy on 101 called Bubba the Love Sponge. I marked out about how I was a fan of his on his short stint, and a week later went and bought sirius equipment. Been a daily listener ever since, and coudln't be happier. It's really the only channel I listen to, but is still considered money well spent.
Bubba has said worst case if he goes podcast willy, that the podcasts will be available on bubba-raw. I wish whatever is best for bubba and the family, but since i am already a raw subscriber, this would end up saving me 13 bucks a month that I could put towards a kick ass porn membership, and not have to listen to AM quality broadcasts on sirius.
I should be nominated for super-mark status for longevity, if nothing else. :D |

I'll be extremely disappointed if bubba is let go.
But bubba is only a portion of h101.. ferrel, jackie, miserable men, riley martin and other shows.. |
Bubba is the afternoon guy, which, right after being the morning guy, is the 2nd largest spot to hold. Ferrell may kick ass, but hes the evening guy, which by default gets the lowest ratings. How many people sit at home listening to the radio anymore? Mornings are for top notch, mid day is filler bullshit like they currently have, afternoons are for the 2nd best talent they got for the ride home, and evenings is for usually sports guys or the shitty guy with filler material. Thats typically how it goes.
Without Bubba on 101, it would just be Ferrell, and all these 1 hour filler shows, which really dont amount to much if you really think about it. Not knocking any of the 1 hour shows, but theyre not real talent. Real talent is the only thing that can fill a 4 hour time spot, and I dont know that Ferrell would be a huge hit with everyone, cause hes pretty much all about sports. I think hes a great guy, but I dont listen to his show cause its mostly a sports show, and Im not all that into listening about sports. A lot of people feel the same way I do. |

The thing is Howard and his Show, and Tim Sabean do NOT want Bubba to go for all sorts of reasons such as.
-They really do like him and the entertainment he brings
-Having him not on the channels will create a TON of work for the rest of them
-The complaints and whining will be frustrating to deal with if he leaves
Etc |
GASP! And to think, if Bubba left, Howard might actually have to cut back on his vacations to appease the lynch mob going after him, and god forbid he may even have to start doing Fridays again! |

I got goose bumps today when they played that song, I was hoping they were going to announce that they were resigning. I have a feeling that playing that song means good news, I hope they can announce it soon! |

If someone sees this coming they should post a thread on it, I wouldn't want to miss that song it would be appropriate and I would want to hear Bubba's comments right after it....he will be pumped. |

They played the song today after Full Trucker Effect. It is clear to me that Bubba either reads here, or gets pretty detailed reports of some things posted - i don't think him playing that was a coincidence... I think something is in the works.
To me there seemed to be a feeling of releif (stresswise) on todays show. They all sounded happy, they went over commercial breaks without really caring. My gut feeling, and my hope, is that they were offered a fair deal, and are waiting for the ink to dry on both ends before they actually say anything. |

| Bubba's the best thing on 101. Ferrel is 2nd and the rest is just filler. In fact sometimes Bubba's show is better than Howard's. It reminds me of how Howard's show used to be , and I for one will miss it if it's gone. |
