HOWARD STERN SHOW Going To Video-On-Demand With Naked Cavorting Intact!!
Want to see the naked on “The Howard Stern Show” without all the censoring? Daily Variety reports Wednesday morning that strippers and lesbians will cavort nakedly on pay-per-view giant In Demand.
If I understand the Variety story, viewers will pay $10 per month for a stand-alone channel that will televise all the nakedness we associate with Stern – without the horrible, obscuring pixellation.
Oh!! I pray I have access!!

Stern turns to In Demand - Sirius biz: Shockjock inks a sat deal
By JOHN DEMPSEY
NEW YORK -- Howard Stern has signed a three-year deal with In Demand to carry the TV version of his daily show on Sirius satellite radio. Auds will get the raunchy Stern instead of the sanitized version, which is still available on E! even though his contract wasn't renewed. Basic cablercabler is still running reruns.
In Demand, the dominant U.S. distributor of pay-per-view movies and events, will offer the Stern show to cable networks via subscription video-on-demand. SVOD is a platform that requires people to subscribe to a digital cable box and in this case pay $10 extra each month to get the standalone channel that carries Stern. The parties declined to reveal the amount of money In Demand will pay Stern for exclusive TV rights to his show, but the deal is complicated because it includes an unspecified number of pay-per-view specials produced and hosted by Stern. His New Year's Eve PPVPPV event in December 1993 racked up 35 million buys to become one of the biggest nonsports revenue generators in the history of pay-per-view.
In Demand will distribute these one-shots for a PPV fee separate from the radio show subscription, although customers may get the specials at no extra cost if they buy a one-year subscription to the SVOD service. Rob Jacobson, president-CEO of In Demand Networks, said the company's plan -- beginning later this year -- is to tape each day's four-hour radio show featuring Stern and his cast of regulars and edit it down to between 60 and 90 minutes for delivery to SVOD customers the next day. "We'll have a lot of flexibility and latitude in figuring out the exact length of each show," Jacobson said. "Our goal is to create a tightly edited, fast-moving show."
One reason Stern chose In Demand as the TV partner, said his agent-manager Don BuchwaldDon Buchwald, is that Stern won't face "the censorship and government interference that continue on his terrestrial radio show" distributed by Infinity Broadcasting. That censorship, which has cost Stern $1.75 million in government fines, drove a wedge between Infinity and the shockjock. Instead of renewing his contract with Infinity, which expires at the end of the year, Stern jumped to Sirius, which agreed to pony up $100 million per year for five years, beginning in January.
E! Entertainment TV, which carries a half-hour nightly version of his Infinity show, has to be much more discreet because it takes advertising. "E!" covers any nudity with pixilation; foul language disappears through electronically lowered volume. Last September, Stern cut a deal with Internet VODVOD company Movielink to offer uncensored clips on Stern's Web site from the E! cablecast featuring the soft-core nudity that E! eliminated. That deal expires with the end of the E! contract.
Jacobson said as many as 20 million In Demand subscribers will be able to buy Stern on SVOD when it kicks off in January. If only a small percentage of that number ponies up for the show, In Demand and Stern will be rolling in dough. "Howard will be the first stand-alone personality in SVOD," Jacobson said, adding he's confident the shockjock's fans will seek him out and swell the number of SVOD subscribers. Buchwald said Stern was attracted to In Demand because "it's a company with significant substance. It's owned by three major cable operators: Comcast, Time Warner and Cox." All three of those operators are carving out SVOD dial positions for the Stern show, and In Demand has begun negotiating with other cable operators. For Stern junkies, Jacobson said the SVOD window will keep previous Stern shows on the platform for a couple of weeks for call-up at the flick of a button on the remote.

| i guess it is good for fans of the E! show, but i didnt even watch that and it was free. |
|
|
| AliWalnuts |
| Niiiiiiice! I get the hook up on my cable bill due to my employer and I have no problem paying $10 for Howard. |
|
|
| spikedavis |
| Yeah no kidding. 12 bucks a month for Sirius and now 10 bucks a month for this? No way. |

| The On-Demand idea is totally GAY.........what a money grubbing Jew bastard. |

| den1226 |
| It's all good. Just check ebay for home made DVD's. A ton of episodes can fit on one DVD and I have no problem buying bootlegs. |
|
|
| BoyGary |
| this is gonna have a real negative effect on the radio show. the show has been great since the E show left and the endless parade of chics taking their tops off. i think howard just officialy entered to porn industry. :( |

| Son of a bitch. I just got fucking Direct TV a few months ago. Now I have to throw out all my shit and get digital cable again, dammit Howard. Couldn't be on HBO or Showtime? Grr :mad:. |
|

| ChronoSkooma17 |
| I have Direct Tv too, this sucks. :( |

All bullshit.
Robin's incessant cackiling, and Artie's fake comments sound like one of their badly read live commercials. Howard hiding behind the guise of censorship to get money from loyal fans. Bullshit.
HBO didn't give him a call? Sure, but they didn't have enough money for him. How many millions does he need?
Oh, and now apparently they are breaking ground with on-demand TV. Yeah, I've never heard of on-demand before.
He won't release any of the great old shows on DVD or video because he doesn't want to screw the fans, but first I pay for satellite, and now this.
BTW, I am a fan, and just as I have a right to NOT buy any of that, I also have a right to complain, so STFU to anyone who is going to complain about complaining. |
|
|
| BoyGary |
| i think he is over-estimating his audience. i love the show, but no way will i pay $25+ dollars a month for it. he was wrong about his drawing power for his movie and he is wrong about this. |
|
|
| ChronoSkooma17 |
| This will only make piracy increase. |
|
|
| Sirius_Store |
I will absolutely subscribe to his On Demand show. Think of how much stuff this could replace. Think of all the DVDs and stuff you don't need to buy for this. Those stupid porno sites online are $10-$20 per month.
Howard rocks.
I love it. |
|
|
| Mutt |
| Howard verifies this this morning. he said it will only be a couple bucks a month. I guess $10 is a couple bucks to him. |
|
|
| ehsfriend |
Howard's economics are great - even with a small subscriber base.
-20 mill on demand subscribers
-Let's say 0.1% subsrcribe = 200,000
-$10 per month gross rev = $2m per month gross rev
-Howard is a great negotiator - let's say he gets 33% of gross rev (I bet it's closer to 50%) = $666k per month to Howard
-That's $8m per year to Howard - without ever having to meet with another advertiser
By the way, it wouldn't surprise me if Sirius ends up taking some live ads. over time. Howard is great at it and would be hard pressed to not take big $ that sponsors throw at him for live reads. |

Ugh. Don't HAVE digital cable, don't WANT digital cable. I have normal cable, and I'm very happy with it. So I'd have to upgrade to digital AND plunk down another $10 on top of that? Probably not happening. Sorry. I just don't watch that much TV.
NOW who's management is screwing them up? Why not go to HBO, that EVERYONE can get if they want it? Did the Uncensored E! Shows really sell THAT well? Hmmmm? |
|
|
| Pussah2 |
Digital Cable can suck my left nut. Howard is a cheap greedy fucking jewbag. He is full of bullshit saying he can't do his show on cable. Maybe with nudity, but language Spike shows Godfather unscensored and comedy central shows SOuth park movie with a song called Uncle Fucka unscensored.
Besides I have Directv which I will take any day of the week over cable. Cablevision can blow me. |
|
|
| baldrick5 |
indemand? fuck that. my cable company (charter) is raping me as it is-my family pays over $140/month for cable internet/tv-and we only get extended basic and no premium channels-they MAKE us pay extra per month for a digital box.
we're actually thinkin of geting DIRECTV when we move in a couple of months but keeping cable internet-we'd end up getting alot more channels, pay for HBO and Showtime and STILL be saving money.
$10/month for just 1-1.5 hrs of JUST Howie per day? At least with HBO you actually get lots of different worthwile programming for the same price....
also, what about the millions of directv/dish network subscribers?
all i can say is, thank god for the internet :D |

Don Buchwald did't do his homework. He could have forced In Demand (Comcast/Time Warner/Cox) to make available to
Satellite, Directv, Echostar-Dish Network or any International carrier interested.
Done deal, signed. Cable will never make availabe to satellite.
Millions of dollars lost and complete dominant coverage not
penetrating the entire United States.
The E contract had full penetartion, all cable, all satellite.
Don screwed this one up! Its called going backwards & not
reaserching. Just like the Ronnie/Escalade Limo deal, only
worse, can't sell a bad contract. Lost Jew Money.
Watch how many Millions, who can't get cable, or cable won't dig to their location.
Howard saying "Going to Satellite" now contridicts everything.
Not true. Makes it more confusing for the average person &
naked bitches.
In Demmand is also famous for High Definition.
Once again, Don isn't thinking. He could have held out,
until In Demand sprung for HD cameras.
Would have been a great free marketing tool, going HD,
from day One.
The HD technolgy would have been perfect to promote a true unedited feed and lower the FCC heat, as the entire HD industry
would give Stern their OK. |

| Sorry buddy I am not turning in my DirecTivo box ever. I would've paid for it too if you just would've made it available for everyone on all systems. Oh well there's always Torrents if I need it. |

| WhatRUaRetaaard |
| he has finally "jumped the shark" :rolleyes: he always talked about never doing this to his fans, but now $22 a month just to listen and hear him? no fucking way, I love Stern, but no way...and it's not even the money, it's the principle.... |

| He could have easily jumped to HBO or Showtime (or any of thier other channels) for a nightly 1 hour uncensored show....available to everybody. Instead now he cuts off a good part of people who would watch him....sad and selfish. |

| I am not paying for InDemand either, but if he went to HBO, you still have to pay the 12/mo. So people should stop bitching that he is not at HBO. Most people do not have HBO or Showtime. I don't know what the answer is.... |
|
|
| ChronoSkooma17 |
| Atleast with HBO, you get other programming. Not to mention that anyone can get HBO. |
|
|
| lilbuddy67 |
I would guess that he will get less than a 1500 people paying for the show after the first couple . People will be curious.
I also suspect that he is getting money up front, not just money from the individual purchases. He won't care if no one shows up. |

I'm assuming the negative reaction here is representitive of thinking across the country - after all, we're fans and not just casual listeners - but what really has my curiosity piqued is whether this will have a negative affect on Sirius subscriptions. If this is seen solely as a money grab, it could cause casual listeners to get turned off and those on the fence may not bother with getting the satellite radio service.
As to me, this doesn't affect me for a two reasons:
1. I'm a DrectTV guy so no chance to see it.
2. I wouldn't pay if I could because seeing porn stars, strippers and Playmate wannabe's take off their tops just isn't enough of a draw when I can see all the porn I want free.
3. There should be plenty of files to download on the internet once he gets this started.
(Yeah, I know that's three and not two. I'm a heavy tipper) |

I think you're math is wrong.
20 mil = 100%
2 mil = 10%
200,000 = 1%
20,000 = 0.1% |

Totally agree, great post.
We will never see INDemand on DirecTV / DISH Network. I wonder if this deal is exclusive to INDemand because I know there are rumors that DirecTV is planning to launch their own VOD service as soon as they get their new sats in the sky.
I love Howard and will subscribe to Sirius when he moves, but I will NEVER dump DirecTV for Cable (Comcast). |

the show has been great, i thought the E hookup did more to dilute the true humor of howard and the crew than almost anything else.
i love the toilet humor, sex talk, etc. but images of strippers and whores rancid vaginas and gargantuan boobs gets old very fast.
i'll stick with satellite, but ignore the visuals on VOD. just not interested. |
|

| I am worried he will just have dirty whores on now that the tv is unscensored and you have to pay for it. It might basically become soft core porn now. |

HS wants TOTAL creative freedom for both mediums and he wants to get paid for it. What in fucks name is so hard to understand?
I'm on sirius and I'll check out InDemand. If they turn out to suck then I'll be out. Fuckin cretines. |

i fully agree with boy gary: "i think he is over-estimating his audience. i love the show, but no way will i pay $25+ dollars a month for it. he was wrong about his drawing power for his movie and he is wrong about this."
i don't think howard understands what $25/month means to the average person. $12/month for radio is a lot of money. now add to the equation that howard will only be working 4 days per week and taking 10 weeks vacation on top of that. a good number of fans will probably pay, but sirius is no bargain.
now howard thinks that fans will shell out another $10/month to watch the show? some fans will, of course, but i don't think a lot will. it's just too much money. |

And if I want to see naked chicks, I'll download free porn, not pay to watch Howard. |

Actually some of the dumb posters might be over 25. Anyway, I agree. Howie wants creative freedom, but can't do it with what he has now with the FCC down his throat. No wonder Bush Jr. got elected because we got morons loving political morons. :rolleyes: |

Like many other posters, I am a DirecTV customer not about to trade it in for digital cable. If the shows get leaked on the net I'll check them out, but it may get old after a while. I was bored with the uncensored e! shows after a while, although I realize the content will be crazier at Sirius.
I laughed so hard when he mentioned piracy on the show today. Having the new TV show on "In Demand" and "underground" just makes it perfect for the world of piracy as a previous poster mentioned. |
|
|
| NickFalzone |
| yeah anything that's exclusive ends up becoming hot commodity for piraters. i wonder what the plan is for the sirius video tuner, with this 3 yr contract that aint coming soon. with the in-demand though my bet is that there will be a lot more stunt shows/ppv type stuff, so the content might be more fun than just uncensored E! crap. |
|
|
| jeajea |
As long as they put up the girls pix on the website I don't need to watch a TV version (even though I wached it quite a bit on E) I usually only wanted to see the TV to see what the people involved looked like.
I am getting Sirius (I need the walkman version when its out though) and I'll go to howardstern.com to see pix of the girls he has in.
I have to agree with those that have said the segments designed for the TV show tend to be the most boring to me, while the general chatting which doesn't hit TV is far more interesting.
If I were them, I would have waited for the Sirius move, and then staggered in this second revenue opportunity. It seems hypocritcal to me based on positions he's taken in the past and a little Gene Simmons-ish.
Next will be the Stern Coffin. |

i will not get on demand....i have every cable station know to civilization and i will subscribe to satellite. there'll be other fun stuff to listen to......however, i'm willing to bet howard's show WILL have commercials. |

Isn't OnDemand just like a TiVo? You can watch whenever you like and pause/ff/rr. That's the whole "OnDemand" concept. |

There’s no question that WATCHING The Show in its uncensored glory will be one-thousand percent more entertaining. Nobody here can argue that this new arrangement won’t take The Show in an exciting, new direction. Plus, it’ll be nice that some of the E! people who lost their jobs will soon be able to come back to work to do what they really enjoy doing.
My concern is that for the LISTENER, however, the novelty of being able to curse and talk about tossing salad freely might wear off quickly. I honestly hope that Sirius-only subscribers don’t end up getting the short end of the stick, in the event that the number-one priority of The Show’s writers and producers becomes improving the whole experience from a visual standpoint. For example, ask anyone who’s never seen a *single* E! Show how much they can truly appreciate the hot chick/robospanker/wheel of sex/tickle chair/lemme see your ass-type segments. My fear is that the overall quality of the satellite show from a listener’s perspective may be adversely affected by another TV show - just as the terrestrial version has seemed to suffer, with E! cameras in the picture.
Funny - the song “Video Killed the Radio Star” has never meant more to me than it does today. |

Damn. I wouldn't mind paying the extra money for this, but I also have DirecTV. My whole system is centered around my DTV setup, and I'm not gonna replace it all just for one show.

good post man. Im 22 and agree. Im poor and in college, and think that people take the free Television and radio broadcasts for granted. Its not that howard is greedy, but he wants to be on both mediums, tv and satellite radio. But any way you look at it those cost money, he made money from the E! show, you people are just assholes because you didnt have to pay for it.
And the post about being pissed at congress i partly agree with, because all these things should be free anyway. I dont like having to pay for free speech rights.

well E! was in my $185 a month cable package so I did pay for it, but it just wasn't an added expense on the bill, but I did pay since it was included...dude, you shouldn't call anyone an asshole especially when half the people here underfuckingstand the situation, but don't want to pay an extra $10 a month besides $13 a month for the radio just to see the same shit everyday the nasty skanks with cellulite or buttafaces and the skanky ass porn stars that we can just look up online and see them...
you people don't fucking get it...I'm sorry but with this, I feel Stern has "jumped the shark" with his fans...I'll continue to listen, but I won't waste my money or time to watch the show...unless I get some extra cash and am able to pay for it, but before I pay $10 a month for the show, I'd rather get the extra money and support this site... |

I think his In-Demand idea is brilliant. He won't have to answer to anyone about his content. I didn't really watch the E! show except for the Vegas shows and the occassional Pamela Anderson interview so it's really not a factor for me. I might subscribe, I have to think about it some more.
I'll definately be there for the radio show though. :D
:guitar: "Give me more Howard Stern." :deadshow: |

| I'm down to four shows that I watch regularly. . . everything else pretty much sucks. I don't know if I can justify getting on demand for one show. I was actually considering cancelling my cable (bit torrent gets the job done just fine). |

I love Howard but he's getting bad advice. Practically no one is gonna cough up 10 bucks a month just to see a replay of the radio show. He's got people talking in his ear getting his head pumped up way bigger than it should be. It's not like a "Howard Stern Channel" will be like a great premium cable channel like HBO with great shows, movies, boxing, etc....
He's about to get the bubble he lives in burst really bad. |

I've been listening to Howard since I was 13 yrs. old, I'm 37 now, but I have to wonder where Howard will get new fans from. How many teenagers will have a satelite radio, or be able to order the In-demand shows, where will the new listeners come from ?
I think Howard is making one last grab for as much money as he can get, cause he knows he's gone in a few years.
I'll be surprised if he stays the full length of the Sirius contract, I think the show is going to have one last high moment (the first Sirius shows) and then it will get old and go down hill fast, but it's been one hell of a ride. Thanks Howard.
:sadbye: |

| I think Howard didn't have all his facts down today, indemand on Comcast is pay per show, its not a channel that has shows on all day. Comcast indemand is pay per movie selected or pay for whatever show selected, unless Comcast is changing. |

Yeah, a couple bucks to me is TWO DOLLARS. It's bad enough to have to pay $12 something a month for SIRIUS...and you KNOW that's going up as soon as he moves over there.
I want some Stern subsidizing, damnit. |

I hear he will be charging callers to call in now and will be offering howard stern pencil holders for $15.95.
Howard O'Reily is the no new spin zone!!!
I think this will backfire. Howard continues to alienate his fans financially and simply will not offer a show that justifies the price. Like the Osbourne show uncensored, Howard will find he is much more fun when thinking outside the box while still inside. Now that he can say and do whatever he wants, the shock value of hearing his antics on free radio will wear off fast and fail into another Jackass TV show all over again: trying to be more crude and wild until he will just end up mimicing all the idiots out there now who are having people fuck in a church.
Good riddance, hook nose. |

| all these cash grabs make it hard to support howards claim to artie that there is no money in radio. he keeps raking it in and expects artie to work for cheap. if artie leaves the show it will be howards fault. notice neither howard nor artiemade a comment for the news story about shaq taking a pay cut so his team could hire some good players. |

| The TV show is going to bomb I think. I don't want to hear endless commercials for it either which we will. The E show was fun but I would never have paid extra for it. |

| Well i just got good news. All my analog channels were switched over to digital last week. So all my Comcast channels are digital. Directv isn't the only way to go now.... By the way if you subscribe to basic cable $12 plus digital service $4.95 plus 1 box rental 5.25 =$22.20. You can can a lower cable bill. I have internet 6mb which is worth the $42.95 so my bill isn't outrageous. Seems to me that people get directv for price diffence but it really isn't that much different. |

| The main problem with this or any other tv show of Stern uncensored is that wont chicks (and not the strippers/porn stars, obviously) have much more of a problem getting naked now? Knowing that they will be seen completely nude as opposed to blurred on E is probably going to hurt having chicks on to do stuff. |

Perhaps, but all girls to this point would have had to sign a waiver knowing that although they would be blurred for E!, Howard could still use their uncensored images for any further releases such as DVD’s or internet. Naked is naked, I don’t think the kind of exposure (studio or general public) makes a difference. The girls that got naked either had no inhibitions or had no problems getting paid to do so. |

If I had Cable I would subscribe to this for more reasons than the strippers and hot chicks. I would hope they would do some behind the scenes stuff, some Sal & Richard on the road stuff, some Artie Stand up stuff.. then it would be well worth it. This new venture can be a HUGE improvement of the E! show... the possiblities are endless.
BUT, unfortunately for me (and millions of others) I have DirecTV and am not willing to change my entire set up for one channel. Well..... at least not yet. :bw: |
