First let me say, I hate to see Bubba leave Howard’s channels or Sirius period. I don’t see Bubba leaving the testicle deal at this point and I doubt Sirius has the money to buy out the contract, even if Cox would sell. The guys HAVE to be tired of the schedule at this point but Sirius doing a rebroadcast of the testicle show from 3-7 would not be the best thing…in my opinion.
What if Bubba got his own channel on Sirius…say 199. Assume Sirius agrees to broadcast the FM show from 6-10 then Bubba can do a few hours on Sirius from say 10 til 2. The rest of the channel could be a replay or best of Bubba or Bubba 199 music or say a combo of all three.
Maybe I am living in dream land but I am still holding out hope Bubba will stay with Sirius. I mean does the above seem too much for the second highest talk show in Satrad? Hell Martha has her own channel and I’m sure she brings something to the table but does it really compare? |

Mel has said NUMEROUS times he does not want to share content with AM/FM so the 6-10 idea is out
The only reason Bubba was signed again was because Howard went to bat for him ... that he (Bubba) has said several times
If they do pony up the money it will be to keep him aligned with Howard & his brand (which Bubba said is the reason he would consider signing again if ...)
I don't see it ever happening ... at least not now |

This is exactly what I've had in mind as a perfect scenario and have said elsewhere, and possibly here. JKGroups, as always, is dead on about things. It seems Mel wants to phaze out terrestrial programming, and one of my favorite shows fell victim to that mindset (Sirius now carries an hour of that show instead of all three).
I'm not trying to put XM over, but I think their idea of carrying successful FM shows, like they did with Bubba on their channel 152, is a good idea. That way they can get successful radio shows on the channels without Sirius paying them to be exclusive, and Sirius can be the answer for people that don't get those shows in their market. When Sirius Right and Air America were still on Sirius, the entire lineup was terrestrial shows. There are some terrestrial shows still left on Patriot and Left. Mike Malloy's show is one of my favorite and he doesn't have that many terrestrial markets he's on. A good portion of his audience is from Sirius, XM, or the internet stream. |

Thanks Chob ... I usually catch crap for not being as much of a mark as some & I guess that comes across negativite (although not always meant that way)
It seems that Sirius attributes Bubba's SatRad success to being on H101 & personally I agree but I think he is at the point where he can possibly branch off & have a Bubba type channel (His show, replay & Bubba type programming like a FTE show, MMA, etc.)
Bubba's success has to be credited to the brand Howard built but The Jeffersons, Rhoda, Frasier & others wer all big spin-off hits ... ;) |

Also Chob were you the one that talked about XM carrying a whole daypart of FM shows a few years ago?
That was a pretty interesting post & I'm beginning to think along your lines of thinking that it might be a good programming idea.
Obviously the knock against the idea is the lukewarm O&A dual XM/FM run. As much as others slam them & as muh as I hate the show they have to be considered the number 2 show as far as national right now & they are doing "ok" at best on both platforms |

I don't know if you heard Bubba mention you the other day, but that's certainly not how he sees it. :jj:

Yes. The channel carries FM programming, all out of Florida even. For those that missed it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XM_152
Since Bubba has no love for O&A, it would be interesting to see how he does in comparison to them not only in FM listeners, but also satellite listeners and the overall success of their channels. |

He emailed me once regarding the SatRad arbs ... lol
EDIT: I found it in the 5/20 thread & now I need the audio ... HINT HINT
I give Bubba credit for putting me over because I do not not always tow the BTLS line ... now I'm dying to hear it lol |

5/20, about 20 mins into the show. I should dig up the clip so I can hear it again. He was having a bad SFN day with the "What the Bubba show has become" thread. He mentioned you as one of the people who know's their shit. And for some inexplicable reason I was put over too. :jj: |

I think some of you are missing my point here. Guy’s here’s the deal. While this wasn’t always the case, currently Sirius needs Bubba more than Bubba needs Sirius. Bubba is getting ready to be syndicated into 20 some markets. Sirius can’t buy out the contract so they need to do something to keep him.
Again, the guys have to be sick of this schedule and I don’t see them doing the 6-10 and 3-7 again next year. Sirius can’t compete with the Testicle money so they have to do something. Cox went from worst to first with Bubba and there is no way they are letting him go. Currently 101 is tied up M-T with the west coast replay of Howard. I can’t see them changing that. Bubba is very loyal and I think he wants to stay at Sirius so how can they make this happen?
Bubba having his own channel could be an option, either that or Sirius finally turning on Howard’s 3rd channel he talked about. Let’s say Bubba gets 199, they could rebroadcast the Testicle show from 6-10 then do Bubba’s Sirius show from 10-2 with a 3-7 replay or even all day replay.
I know Mel has said he is against sharing content but things change. Once Mel also offered Howard the same deal he has now if he would extend 5 more years. Recently Mel said in a conference call that content is not cheap. He also said he would love to have Howard back if he would come back for less money but he didn’t see that happening. Let’s face it guys, currently it doesn’t seem like Howard is coming back, as is, and Sirius needs big shows like Bubba….period.
Sorry this is long winded. |

But seriously. I totally understand where you're coming from. From some reading I've done in the Howard forum (something I don't recommend doing too much, or else you'll go crazy) some people really want Bubba gone. And if more Howard programming is what people want, they should add the third channel. But I don't see that happening. I love the interaction between the three main shows and I know a lot of people feel the same way. But let's face it, some people are never going to give a show other than Howard a chance. Nor will a large portion of people agree on the way the schedule is.
I think Bubba has a popular enough brand to get his own channel going. He can do his morning show, a few hours exclusive to Sirius, and maybe get some more talent to round out the channel. Cox gets a successful show they can syndicate across the country. Sirius carries a popular FM show that isn't carried in many markets yet, and get some exclusive programming for the Bubba channel, as well as not having to pay Bubba to be exclusive. If people listen to Bubba on FM, they may be motivated to get Sirius to listen to uncensored shows/bits. I hate to say it, but O&A were smart to have negotiated the deal they did.
I've said in the past that I think Sirius and Cox should cooperate. I do hope Mel changes his mind about things, because there is still good terrestrial programming people would enjoy hearing on satellite. |

Not missing the point but because you see it that way doesn't mean Sirius does
Sirius seemed open to letting Bubba walk 6 months ago until Howard stepped in & thats the reality, not a simulcast of his morning show & his own channel Miller.
Do I think Siri undervalues Bubba? Yes
Do I think some Bubba fans over-value Bubba's importance to Sirius (right now)? Yes
Sirius see's Bubba as a hassle from everything Bubba says & the reason Bubba wanted to stay with Sirius & the reason he did stay was because of the Howard connection & your plan takes the one thing everybody agreed keeps him on SatRad away
Sirius has a hard time keeping Bubba under control (according to them) now ... his own channel is a bit far-fetched
Now that doesn't mean I don't think the show deserves it but I don't see it as a remote reality
Also look at the numbers released & the only one with millions of listeners is Howard. That is the only show that will be that big of a difference.
We all agree the Arb's are low but if you break it down Bubba has 200k+ listening weekly on Howards station. I'm sure Sirius figures they can put anybody (Kidd Chris) on Howards brand & they will do close or similar. 200k weekly is not that much (even if its #2)
The only one with good numbers is Stern (1.5m including his 101 west coast)
Bubba openly admits being on Howards brand is the key on Sirius & I would bet heavily he wants to stay with Howard until we see what happens at the end of this contrract
Also Mel was laughing when he said he would like Howard to take less money ... lets put it in context. A boss will never say "I hope Howard stays for more money" ... ;)
It sucks for SatRad listeners but Bubba's best bet looks to be FM/Cox where he is more valuable at this time. I would abhor seeing him go as far as being selfish but understand it completely
Mel doesn't care that Bubba has good numbers in Tampa. Truth is he has 1/6 of Howards numbers according to Arbitron & obviousy they feel on Howards channel that 1/6 is replaceable at a certain cost
Lets hope things change QUICKLY |

I'm not sure where you are getting 200K listeners becasue Bubba said over 600K.
Also something still has changed. Bubba's crew couldn't hardly get a meeting with Scott G and now he's making trips to Tampa?
So you want to take a shit on Bubba having his own channel? You are Sirius, what do you give him? He doens't need you now period. Howard is leaving in 2 1/2 years. You just sit back and watch subs leave?
Also I don't buy this crap of plugging anyone into a station and them having the second highest rated talk show in satrad. Kidd Chris signed a new deal recently with CBS. I'm sure they will keep him off the air until the contract is over. Hello 2011. |

According to Arbitron:
Howard101 as a whole has about 550k a week
Bubba has 200+k (somewhere near 250k)
Stern west coast has 200+k (somewhere near 220k)
These were released publicly a month ago & I explained it here at that time |

I'm not "taking a shit" on anything but using logic & not thinking only as a Bubba fan.
He didn't even get a 3-7 replay Friday & you think they are giving him his own channel
If you paid any attention you will know that they (Sirius) does not see him as a huge deal
AGAIN the only one at Sirius in a power position that has Bubba's back is Stern & you want to take that away too |

I'm not trying to seperate Bubba and Howard. I even said open up Howard's 3rd channel. |

I don't think any of this ties to Bubba's satellite ratings, popularity, name recognition, quality of show, etc. I think 2009 boils down to a few things, all tied to money:
1) Will Cox syndicate Bubba?
a) I think yes, and at that point the BRN will be back in the rarefied air of radio big money.
2) Will Bubba want to work the Sirius show if he's already making big terrestrial money?
a) The ONLY reasons I think he'd do it would be out of loyalty to Howard or if Sirius would squeeze out some significant cash. After syndicating on Cox, he wouldn't have to worry about nationwide coverage. In the end, I think no, he will not want to do the additional four hours, and Howard will understand.
3) Will Sirius buy broadcast rights to Cox for the AM show?
a) Not a chance. Howard's either going to have to fill 101 content with someone from XM (I hope to GOD it's not O&A), get someone else, or call it a day on H101. In the end, I think he'll get someone else. I could see them getting Jay Thomas to do the 3-7 time slot on 101 daily. This wouldn't cost Sirius much money at all, but would keep the channel on the air.
Mel won't spend dollar one with Cox to simulcast or rebroadcast Bubba's terrestrial show. You can bank on that.
Just my opinions. |

Fair enough man but even if it was on one of Howards channels the morning show would go against him so it wont happen
As I stated I like the idea but its pretty far-fetched considering the history & how Sirius looks at Bubba |

Ok so here is my point and what's the solution? Again I come back to I can't see the guys doing 6-10 and 3-7 more than this year. Bubba may be talked into doing 6-10 on fm then 10-2 on Sirius. That seems to me to be the only chance they get him back. So how do you make that happen? 101 is filled with the west coast replay. I con't see that changing. |

I don't se it happening as of now
Cox is treating him too good to leave unless Sirius offers them millions
I think its one or the other come Jan 09 & as of now the best would be Cox & from my end that sucks bc I like things the way they are
I think if the merger goes through BTLS will get offered a good raise but how good is the question |

So you are saying 3-7 on sirius, take it or leave it? The merger may go through but even still they wont for many years have enough money to compete with testicle. Mel is a pretty good CEO but I think Sirius has turned a profit on 2 quarters and that's it. Srius is putting up the new bird this year and I think that bad boy was 4 to 5 hundred million. Sirius will also need to replace the other 3 in the fleet by 2012 (i think) and those will be of similar cost.
It seems to me Sirius will need to offer up some money but I think being creative somehow like allowing him to do the shows back to back would also needed. Don't forget Bubba did mention he would be getting his own station soon. Let's hope that is on Sirus. |

No ... I never said that
Since they are already letting him do 2 I cannot see them forcing him to drop FM. If Howard wants him on 101 (which he does) Mel will offer him a 3-7pm H101 contract IMO. If Bubba takes it or not thats his call but obviously he can make more at Cox ... its how close the contract offer is to Cox that might decide if Bubba just stays at Sat Rad or not.
For the last time (lol) I don't see an all BTLS station or Howard moving Bubba & screwing up the popular west coast feed that has almost the exact same ratings as 3-7 do (Arbitron wise).
I hope he stays on 101 from 3-7 because its a perfect fit & a great 10 hour block beginning at 9am EST (when I work from home which is a LOT)
EDIT: A way I can possibly see a Bubba only channel on Siri is if Howard can get Kidd Chris to do the 3-7pm then I can possibly see it happening as a way for Howard to thank Bubba for his loyalty, friendship & service. If that does happen it would be mostly due to Howard & not Sirius IMO |

I swear to god talking to you is like having a wife. You just change around what I say then throw in a bunch of negitive shit. LOL Sirius can't make him give up the FM show, They can't buy out the Cox contract and i just can't see the guys wanting to do this schedule anymore. I hope Sirius isn't thinking like you are or I fear he is gone to FM only.
Kidd Chris most likely wont be going anywhere soon. He just signed a long term deal with CBS and I have to figure they are going to make him set out his contract. OnA had to set out their contract after they were fired. I am not positive on the KC deal but I think his was a 3 year contract? Poor bastard, talk about having to start over. |

So your wife is a pretty smart 6-1, 240 skinhead male?
Hmmm
You are now getting annoying ... lol
You were wrong about the figures on arbitron & Sirius can buy out the contract ... this was reported ... Bubba has a buyout clause after year one & that is why Cox has to wait to roll him into other markets
Also you know NOTHING about KC's deal & the O&A situation was an aberration in that they paid him to sit on the sides. Are you telling me that YSP wouldn't love to lose that contract? Also you have NO idea if KC had a morals clause which voided it ... neither do I but I do not type like I do know
You look at things ONLY from your end without knowing the facts
Bubba cannot be added to any other stations until Jan 09 because of the current deal with Sirius in which Sirius can make an offer by then to keep him exclusive according to reports last Dec
BTLS has (according to Arbitron) about 240k weekly listeners on H101, not the 600k you claimed
Howard wanted KC on SatRad from the beginning but he was already under an exclusive FM deal
If Howard thinks he can get another show that he always liked in to do the current BTLS time-slot that fits his budget that MIGHT (read again) MIGHT ease a BTLS transition to his own station on Howards brand ... MIGHT ... that was my point |

Double checked:
H101
from 10-3pm = 55,100 average quarter hour & 279,600 weekly
from 3-7pm = 64,000 average quarter hour & 276,000 weekly
from 7-12am = 7,000 average quarter hour & 79,900 weekly
Obviously the numbers are low for all SatRad ... I'd say at least add another 50-75% |

This is getting funny. LOL I was just busting your chops because you are treating this like a wife would instead of a man. I say this as men tend to be problem solvers but of course this isn’t always the case.
About the KC deal, I am speaking as things stand now. I can’t predict things anymore than you can so this is all we can go on. Things can change in court but do you think CBS would have let Howard go to Sirius early if they fired him before the end of contract.
I say Sirius can’t buy out the contract as they don’t have the money. I mean given all I said about Sirius loses and having to replace birds, do you really think they have deep enough pockets? I can’t see enough money for COX to give him up at this point, though everything is for sale.
Ok you have refused to offer a serious alternative to my post so I challenge you to stop saying no and find a way for Sirius to keep Bubba, even if it is not exclusive. You have to take into consideration the guys are sick of this schedule and may not be willing to extend their deal with Sirius as is. I also challenge you to be POSITIVE in your reply otherwise you will have to change your name to BigDickGroups. All of your post will have to end with EEEEEHHHHHH. One more thing…you will have to include the word SWISH in all your post. LOL
Also I am not wrong about the numbers, that is a quote from Bubba himself, not something I made up. Where or how he got those numbers, I cannot say. |

About the KC deal, I am speaking as things stand now. I can’t predict things anymore than you can so this is all we can go on. Things can change in court but do you think CBS would have let Howard go to Sirius early if they fired him before the end of contract.

You are insane man
I respect your position on the board so I won't verbally kick your ass ... ;)
In all Siriusness Miller your solution has NO base in reality so there is no need to come up with an alternate to "your idea" of giving someone a whole channel that just got their replay taken away (lol)
Regarding the numbers I never heard Bubba say 600k after these arb's came out ... I did hear him say that 6 months ago after the first set when the whole 101 had 550k weekly & that was pointed out here 6 months ago, so indeed you are wrong
You are not "problem solving" but living a fantasy & hoping unrealisticly for a dream to come true & that my friend is very much a type thing a "wife" does while the man deals in reality ... ... now that this is settled I want a divorce Missy :D

According to Bubba they certainly seem willing to continue with this schedule (SOTB), so maybe this was all moot man |

Many things today could make this thread moot and I did hear them say they would like to…..bleeeeeeeeep…..come back to Sirius and they would…..bleeeeeeeeeeppp….like to have a show exclusive to…..blleeeeeeeeeeeep…Sirius but never once did I hear them say they like doing the show from 3-7. I did find the…What are you going to do about it segment interesting. Just sayin… |

Heather asked if they would want to keep the same schedule & sign again & Bubba said yes ... pretty straight forward Miller
Of course that was before ... ... |

I don't have a clue. Of course things were said that we didn't hear but wow. I don't even know if Bulldog ordered the dump or was just taking the heat. Either way it sounded like Bubba was being positive and didn't sound so good for the No More Bullshit company. |

Unless we are talking about two different questions, Heather asked if he saw himself working 8 hours again next year and he said yes. He didn't say he wanted to keep 3-7 next year.
I've listened to this 3 times now and I can't figure out where you got that unless i am missing something. |

LoL ... I won't go back & listen three times like Miller but the "working 8 hrs" would obviously mean 3-7 because Howards west coast feed is on during those times & does anybody REALLY believe Sirius would give BTLS a whole channel when they are taking away replays & we all seen what happened last Thurs
;)
Miller's not a bad guy ... just a relentless, overl;y optimistic dreamer ... ;) |

It's a sad day when Booger is defending me. LOL
I only listened three times because I was taking it all in. It's a long weekend with nothing but 100 20 year old replays. Hell I've listened to that Ned in jail call maybe 30 times by now and it keeps getting better. lol
Oh and Lasthker will return...oh yes...he will return. :D |

| Bubba 199 is one of my favorite parts of the whole show. I love to hear them have music debates. It's hilarious to hear them bust balls on each other's musical tastes. But sometimes Bubba plays the same songs everytime he does this segment. i.e. Hold on Loosely, Journey songs, Guns N' Roses |
