| I don't understand why there is so much hate on a FAN site. Sirius fucked up big time and I think Bubba wants to leave ASAP, so he is talking shit and playing the same bits and songs over and over again. I am bored with the show right now to but I kinda understand why he is doing shitty shows on purpose. Bring on the hate, I know it's coming!!! |

No hating bro - but how did Sirius fuck up big time? We only get Bubba's side - I honestly believe he is overworked and paid less by Sirius, hence the hate for Sirius (the lesser payer of the two). Disgruntled employee who is set off by ANYTHING from the home office.
He made a mistake in resigning a bad deal - plain and simple. And is handling it in a really bad way - NEVER burn bridges. Once the merger goes down, he only has regular radio for the rest of his and his staff's careers. |

I agree but I just think they did not pay him enough to keep him exclusive to Sirius and the thing that bugs me the most is how this fucking Irish prick is constantly fucking with Bubba. That would never happen to Howard. But once again you are right, I only know his side of the story. |

Listen, I know what you are saying, but there is only so much as fans we can do. After hearing about it and fighting for the last six months I realized, its not my job. I love Bubba and the show and they're great. Sirius fucked him. That is obvious by all account including Howard. Bubba could make a shit load of money on terrestrial radio. The difference is that terrestrial radio is flush with money. Sirius hasn't turned a profit, ever, and appears to be on the verge of financial collapse. There is no money to pay Bubba. I hate to see him go, and I've tried to be supportive, but we've all got our own shit to deal with and we all cut our own deals.
Not hate...truth. |

| I agree... alotta hate on here lately. Some people are too concerned about what they get for their $13 a month and don't care enough to see things from Bubba's perspective. I'd say he's dealing with the whole situation pretty damned well considering. I'll take Bubba on a bad day over 99.99% of all the other shows on their best day... that may not be the case for some people, but oh well... this is why there's menus in restaurants and that's why there's plenty of other channels on Sirius. I think it's pretty damned obvious that Bubba regrets re-signing... but he told me personally, face-to-face, and from the heart, that he came back because of the fans... he didn't wanna let down the great people that he's felt lucky enough to entertain over the past two years. Consider how fan-friendly Bubba is in comparison to ANY other host with a fraction of his success to brag and tell me if you don't believe that. I've never seen another guy in his position be SOO fucking appreciative of his fans. So... I can imagine that when he sees the same people that made him wanna sign his life away to double-duty hell, for a year under a company that clearly doesn't appreciate him, taking a big shit on him so quickly when he's being distracted by some arbitrary corporate bullshit... then yeah, I'd be a little discouraged as well. I give the man alot of credit for re-grouping and putting on a good show rather than totally phoning it in today.... and every other day for the rest of the fucking year. I'm not some ass-kisser here either... I've been on Bubba's bad side more times than I can count because of some of my opinions I've posted here before. I'm just offering my 2 cents... or maybe more. I'm a longwinded fuck sometimes :dance: |

I know you're no hater EMT, you're a good guy for sure and you've been around long enough to know what's what around here. The only thing I take issue with is the fact that Sirius continues to shell out big bucks for bullshit... These "take-overs" on Faction or many of the other channels are a perfect example. I can tell you that when Jay-Z did a guest programming gig just a few months ago, he made more money for a few days of nothing than what Bubba makes in a year... and that's before he pays all of his staff and operating expenses. I could understand the no-profit issue with Sirius if money like that wasn't getting flushed down the toilet for bullshit non-radio guys to basically "guest star" on a channel for a few days. The Foxhole is another example... I mean really, you thing Jamie Fox would waste his time for Bubba-wages??? Fuck no... And I just heard an ad for the Jackass guys "taking over" Faction for a week coming up or something... once again, it seems like you've either gotta have zero radio experience OR be Howard Stern to make any kind of money with Sirius... everyone else is shit out of luck :rolleyes: |

I just got in and listened to the last hour - I gotta hand it to Bubba for regrouping and turning it back up.
I hope he sticks it out for the rest of the year and puts this "Me vs Corporate" stuff behind him or at least off air. I could only guess that he would someday regret burning another bridge (Sirius) in a couple years - especially if the merger goes down.
Here's to a full year of Bubba on Sirius.... :D
Fingers crossed. |

You seem like a pretty reasonable person and bring up a lot of valid points. I am only speaking for myself, but I'm saying that I do appreciate Bubba and crew and their entertainment over the last 3 years. They go above and beyond for the fans and are more accessible to the fans than anyone else. That being said, Bubba seems miserable. I don't want the dude to be miserable and turn his own fans against him when he is just replaying old bits and songs. I get why he is doing it, but the average fan that doesn't take the time to post on SFN doesn't want to hear it. They just want to be entertained, end of story. No hate against Bubba, I just don't want them to be miserable. |

I'm sure this place makes him feel better about that decision. :jj:
You're right. The people here saying he doesn't care about them and the fans come off silly. I doubt he likes doing two shows. And Cox offered him a lot more money to stay exclusive to them and literally rolled out the red carpet at Rock 105 in Jacksonville. |

I don't really listen to Bubba so I wouldn't know the difference. But it does seem that the souls of the Bubba marks are troubled as of late.
I'm not surprised though that the quality of the show has gone down. How can Bubba possibly generate 40 hours of programming a week and then do a morning drive time show and an afternoon drive time show? On top of that I notice he's still running around doing his Bubbapalooza gigs in Vegas. Something has got to give.
I heard that they paid Jamie Fox $40,000,000 to do the Fox hole. I bet more people listen to Bubba than listen to the Fox Hole. Satellite is a new medium. I don't think the executives planned well for how to pay out the money. |

| NOt wanting to hate on bubba, but I am certainly not thrilled with the show since the return after the first of the year. I for one do enjoy the fresh, crisp, humor that is offered when there is no underlying tension.... It seems as though, that now, the tension is even greater than it was prior to their re-signing... |

The strategy is to bring in subs by bringing in people with national name recognition. Sirius believes that more people will sign up because they heard Jamie Foxx has a channel than Bubba The Love Sponge. I don't know if that's true or not, but I'm certain that more people have heard of Foxx than Bubba. They are hurting for subs and they believe that throwing money at big name celebs will bring them in. My guess is that they aren't considering longer term retention because they need to up the subs in the short term.
Again, not saying that I think this is a wise strategy, but that's what I think their rationale is. |

More bang for their buck mentality. Bubba definitely has more radio talent than these guys, but I think you are correct about Sirius's mentality about subs. |

| SteelerFanWilly |
| either way - he signed the deal and has to live up to his contract. It does not matter how Sirius spends its money. They can give millions to Foxx, Jay Z, etc - Bubba signed for whatever he got and has to live up to it. |

So he can't shock the puss, or get the torture rack out or anything like that... does it suck, yeah. Is it the end of the world.... no. I for one, love it when the guys just sit in there and fuck around talking shit and take calls. I mean, I have been laughing my ass off anytime pittsburgh is brought up and Manson Ferrett has been going off. That shit is funy as hell... Actually anytime the Ferrett makes an apperance, it's radio gold. On a side note, Beth is from Pittsburgh right? I think it would be funny for Bubba to mention it when Manson is on his tirade and hear the reaction....
Anyway, getting back to it. I know it sucks that he can't do what he wants, but sometimes I don't think he needs to do all that crap. I even love a little bit of bubba 199 e veryonce in a while.
Sorry if this post seemed a little all over the place.... |

You guys are delusional.The show has never been more honest, real and funny.
Stop listening to Howard for awhile and listen to Bubba's show from Tampa online and then tune it to the Sirius show.
Both shows compliment each other very well. |

Racing is one of the most expensive sports out there.
Just listen to him talk sometimes about how much money he throws around, $30k at one time for gym equipment (especially when you're constantly bitching on air about not making enough money!) |

Look, I know I'll take heat for my opinion here and especially since I'm a "newbie" my opinion will count for squat.....and I really shouldn't be saying this, but there is no doubt in my mind that the show has suffered immensely after the first of the year. I've been with Sirius even before Howard decided to leap over and I've been a Howard fan for years. At first, I was reluctant to listen to Bubba's show, but slowly gave it a chance and found that I enjoyed it very much. In many ways, I can identify with Bubba and his crew more so than I could with Howard (especially as of late).
So over the year and half that I have actually listened to Bubba, I've grown to love the show and his style of humor. When the whole re-signing deal became an issue, I really hoped that Sirius would step up and do the right thing. It appears, and I say appears, that they didn't becuase now Bubba is "forced" to do a morning TR show and an afternon sat show.
I've read a lot of people argue that Sirius is to blame because it failed to show Bubba the money and that they forced him into this position. I hear Bubba's rants against the suits and how he's being reigned in and so on and so on. I can understand that being "tied down" sucks and especially if you believe that your not getting the respect you deserve. I don't know what's true.....if Sirius is not treating Bubba with respect, then by all means, I think Bubba needs to do what's right for him and his show and signing a deal with TR is likely in his best interests.
Now, I'm on the chip about something a bit more subtle. The fact is, Bubba signed on for antoher year to entertain us sick fucks on Sirius and for that, I am thankful. But, there is no doubt that the show has suffered immensely since that time and whether its becasue of the schedule or management issues, it affects the show. If Bubba honestly signed another year "for the fans" then it would be less than professional for him to give those same fans less than his best effort, which is what I believe I'm getting now.
In short, it was Bubba's choice to sign another year with Sirius, knowing full well that he was getting no respect and that he was going to be reigned in. I thank him for doing that because I love listening to his show. But, to re-sign knowing all that and give me less than a stellar show because you are unhappy with the deal you made....well, that just sucks.
Sorry for the long post. |

It no longer the money that the big issue with Bubba it the fact that he has to deal with peoples who know nothing about doing radio telling him how to run is house. And it no longer just stunt and bits we are way past that peoples! It almost everything guest and subject are screened and Bubba has to give them a list of everything he will talk about before every show. And god forbid he should talk about is Cox gig or what was said on Cox. For me a subscription based radio service that is advertised as free of censorship they are turning pussy on us faster than testicular radio ever did.
And you know what the money most still piss off Bubba too he is not pay what the market should pay him while hack like Martha ride the money train with a product that nobody listen to!
Bubba did sign a contract but he most have expected the over thinker to be kept away from him from now on and that not the case! Sirius management is so freak out about the merger not getting done yet that they are looking for scapegoat everywhere and while Howard is not fingered openly it a lots easier to pick on Bubba and mess with him. |

You're full of shit and definetly a SIRIUS apologist.. The show has been REALand that what makes for great drama and great radio. If you've swallowed the koolaid that "Sirius is the Revolution" then of course you'll take the suit's side.
Sure the show has less stunts but if that's what you crave then hang around you favorite local Carnival more often. |

Sorry, but I'm not a Sirius apologist and could care less either way about the company. Secondly, if you read my post, you will know that I'm not taking the suits' side.
Obviously, you believe that the show has been stellar since the re-signing and honestly, whatever I say will never dispel that notion for you. I could care less about stunts...compelling radio is much more than that. Unfortunately, for me, I think Bubba's show as of late has been less compelling and I think its pretty obvious that his focus is on other pursuis and not the Sirius listener.
So there it is, you want to criticize me for saying that I think the show has suffered lately? I susppose that makes me less of a fan? Please......... |

So there it is, you want to criticize me for saying that I think the show has suffered lately? I susppose that makes me less of a fan? Please......... |
Don't count this guyz opinion cuz he's a noob, i love this board but there are some of us who drink the kool aid. I'd love anyone to make the argument that today's show will be as good as a show from 2 years ago |

I'm a fan of Bubba's Show & a Sirius PAYING subscriber like all of you with an opinion on what's happening but I'm going to chime in on this only because alot of you seem to be forgetting that the XM/Sirius merger is still up in the air & corporate has a very clear agenda... fly below the radar & don't stir up shit. I'm not defending the suits actions, just clearly stating what I think is happening.
Alot is hanging on the merger going through. They're being cautiously protective of their product & will do whatever it takes to avoid even a remote possibility regulators don't grant approval to this merger going through. That's why they're pulling the leash on Bubba.
I enjoy Bubba's show, but I couldn't care less about dunk tanks & shocking pusses. I'm sure lots of folks listen for the banter & ball busting between Bubba & his crew & wouldn't even notice if they never "shocked" anything again.
The same situation seems to be happening on Howard’s show, it's a more subdued Howard, still entertaining, but clearly more reserved.
I'm a Sirius radio listener before a Bubba listener. Most subscribers outside this forum are. Most don't just listen to 100 & 101. There's a bigger picture we're all missing & he's being selfishly ignorant that alot is riding on this merger going through (jobs, $$$, etc).
Bubba acting they way he did yesterday was stupid & insulting us all as PAYING CUSTOMERS of this product...
Let the flaming begin... |

| Sorry dude but that is what we pay for, the stupid shit is funny. Bubba's rants are funny, the Fireside chat was awesome! Just don't like to see him beat down so bad... |

It's too bad that Howard doesn't have enough pull to right the BRN ship, cause she's takin' on water boys... she's takin' on water! |
I honestly think Howard doesn't care. BTLS isn't even on his radar unless someone brings it up. Then he's like, "How's Bubba doing?" |

I totally agree, but now if he even tries that, they dump him. Bullshit! |

| I love Bubba's show and I think it's as good as Stern, but lately with all the drama between him and corporate it hasn't been holding my attention as much. I blame Sirius and Sirius only for this problem. I wish Stern could step in and somehow use his influence to make them treat Bubba and co. better so they could put on the best possible show they are able to. |

I am bored with the show right now to but I kinda understand why he is doing shitty shows on purpose. Bring on the hate, I know it's coming!!! |
I can't help but be done with it. Maybe after this year is up we will see what's up and I'll check him out again.
I DO BELIEVE that SIRIUS should have PAID BUBBA SOME BANK...........He is the hardest working man and when he's on your team....he is a loyal mother fucker.
