Yeah, that's why the channel would originally have an extra fee. Who knows what he's going to put on the channel now. |

| He pretty much said that he was going to use the 2nd channel for old tapes, but he can't do that now. I think he only has two channels...although I vaguely remember there being talk of him having three at some point in the past. |

Howard has three channels to program for Sirius. H100 and H101 were added to the line-up this year and Howard's said that he plans to have H101 rerun the Stern show at 6 AM PT, just as the west and west coast stations are supposed to do now.
Howard hasn't hinted when H102 will go up. Knowing him, it won't be until he's close to having it programmed. |

You might want to get the S50 and let it record the 6 AM ET show for you. You can then listen to it when you get home. If you get home 9 AM PT then the east coast show should be over and your all set. |

Here's what he said about the format of the two channels:
"Stern divulged some more information as to what his new channels would be like. One channel will feature various members of his show, like Gary Dell'Abate, and "wack pack" members that regularly appear on his show, such as Wendy the Retard, High Pitch Eric, and the King of all Blacks. The other channel, he said, would be based on the "Good Guys," disc jockeys that appeared on New York's WMCA in the '60s and '70s, but would share his enthusiasm for pushing the envelope. Presumably, this is the channel Stern hired former Clear Channel WXTB (98 Rock) Tampa, Fla. morning host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem for."
I assume that 100 will be for the DJ lineup, and then 101 would carry the west coast replay and then "spin off" type shows. |

I’m not sure I am following you correctly. It’s my understanding CH 101 will be exactly the same as CH 100 but on a 3 hour delay for the west coast. Howard’s show would be on from 6 until 10 then Bubba 2 until 6. Today Howard 100 News said they would be adding a second show at noon. It seems to me he has 2 hours after the Stern show ends (assuming they end at 10) until H100 news then maybe 1 or 1 ½ hours after the noon news until Bubba comes on. |

| The S50 that sirius is putting out is a piece of shit. No fucking way is that thing worth $350. Just get a MP3 player with line in and record them yourself on a $50 sirius unit. All the S50 does is record shit. Is not a portable. I don't think Portables will ever be out. My brother has the XM one and it sucks. Always cuts out. I dont think the signals are strong enough for that shit yet? |

I think that’s the exact reason Sirius didn’t try to go with a true portable right now. The price for the S50 is high but I think it will come down fairly soon. Some people don’t want to mess with recording shows or music then trying to upload them to a MP3 player. This sort of solves that for them. |

What I pasted above is what he told the Washington Post.
So far, I've only heard him say that his show would be repeated for the west coast. There may end up being other shows also repeated on the second channel, but it isn't all just a replay of the first three hours later. He's always talking about having two channels to fill. Why would that be relevant if he only needed 24 hours of content? |

| Now that you mention this you are right. I’ve not heard him say on the air Bubba will be replayed on the west coast. I guess I just assumed he would as he seems to be investing so much in Bubba. Perhaps Howard, Bubba and the news will be on all 3 channels but everything in between will be different? I also have to believe he will be hiring an evening person which could be different people for channels 100 and 101? |

Oops, I meant the New York Times above.
It sounds like all this more experimental stuff he's talking about would go on the non-DJ channel. Maybe the DJ channel will be a traditional set lineup, and the other channel will have a fluid schedule depending on what's going on and what ideas he's trying. |

Channel 100 - The Show
Channel 101 - The Show Universe
Channel #3 - was going to be 24/7 BOS .... but now he can't get his tapes so maybe he won't use the third channel |

It's gone back into the pay archive at the Times, but I found it in a newsgroup:

Howard Stern Prepares for Life Without Limits
By JACQUES STEINBERG
When Howard Stern crosses over in January to satellite radio and his own
pay-per-view cable channel, he will do so from a new Midtown Manhattan
studio loaded with the kinds of accessories that one would expect to find if
the Playboy Mansion were given an extreme makeover.
At the touch of a button, a rack will drop from the studio's two-story
ceiling to reveal a selection of bikinis, for those guests who can be
cajoled out of their street clothes.
A corner of the studio - which is located not at a gentleman's club but on
the 36th floor of the McGraw-Hill Building at Rockefeller Center - has been
outfitted with water-resistant walls and floors, for any gags that might
involve whipped cream.
And just outside Mr. Stern's reach - as well as that of the Federal
Communications Commission, which monitored him on commercial radio but no
longer will - will be a stripper pole.
While Mr. Stern will also be taking plenty of gadgets with him from his
syndicated terrestrial radio talk show - including the Tickle Chair, which
is not to be confused with the Tickle Post - he will be leaving one
noticeable piece of baggage behind: the increasingly tough restrictions
imposed on him in recent years by his bosses (at Infinity Broadcasting) and
the F.C.C.
Indeed, executives at Sirius Satellite Radio - which is paying Mr. Stern
$100 million a year over five years to produce his own morning show and to
program two radio channels - and In Demand Networks, which will package
excerpts for pay-per-view, said they had placed no limits on what he could
do.
Like a teenage boy suddenly set loose in a school patrolled by neither a
principal nor teachers, Mr. Stern said in an interview on Tuesday that he
had yet to rule anything out - including the use of his microphones and
cameras to record a sex act in his brand-new 4,100-square-foot studio.
"I don't know where we're going to go with this thing," he said. "It's going
to be kind of fun to figure that out with the audience. I'll ask them, 'Do
we want to go there or not? Are we going to cross this line or that line?' "
Still, the possibility that Mr. Stern, 51, might go from R-rated fare - his
current show features interviews with topless guests - to soft-core
pornography could just be a tease. He has long been a master barker who can
lure listeners under his tent for the sheer thrill of wondering how far he
might go.
To that end, Mr. Stern simultaneously dampened such expectations, saying
that while none of his new bosses had drawn any boundaries for his new show,
he expected to do so.
"I have my own personal lines where I won't go," he said. "It's funny, the
people hear 'satellite,' they hear 'on demand,' they think, 'Oh good,
there's going to be a beheading every week.' That's not it at all.
"This wasn't about getting on the air and having the freedom to have sex
with a woman, necessarily," he said of his move to satellite. Instead, he
suggested, "To talk about human sexuality in a way that's adult, or maybe
even really super childish, is my prerogative as a comedian."
Scott Greenstein, president of entertainment and sports for Sirius, said,
"Howard has a history of knowing where the lines are, and we're confident
he'll continue to retain that perspective at Sirius."
Mr. Greenstein added, however, "We want to make sure he gets to do the show
he wants."
Which actually could pose a creative challenge for Mr. Stern. To many
listeners, he was best when railing against Michael Powell - the former
chairman of the F.C.C., which over the years has levied decency fines of
more than $2 million on Infinity and the stations that carry his program -
and his own squeamish bosses. Just this week, Mr. Stern was reprimanded on
the air by Tom Chiusano, general manager of WXRK-FM, his home station, for
going too far with a bit that involved the weighing of bodily waste.
Mr. Stern, who signs off WXRK in mid-December, promised an uncensored
version on Sirius, which is not subject to FCC regulation.
Asked if he was worried that he might lose his edge without having a foil in
a position of authority, Mr. Stern said he was not.
"If you know me, there's nothing that will make me completely happy," he
said. "I will find the thorn on the rose every time."
"Come on," he continued. "I'm having this whole love affair with Sirius.
Then the other day I started screaming on the air about some of the guys who
work there, just because I was blowing off steam."
For Mr. Stern's fans - a national radio audience estimated at about 12
million - the transition toward opening their wallets to listen and watch
him (as well as his sidekick, Robin Quivers) will be a gradual one.
Beginning Nov. 18, viewers in 20 million homes in nearly 300 markets
(including New York and Los Angeles) will be able to buy access to a channel
called Howard Stern on Demand. The introductory price will be $9.99 a month.
What they will see initially will not be from the Sirius show, but instead
will be drawn from the 44,000 hours taped during the 11 years that Mr.
Stern's program was repackaged for the E! cable channel. Mr. Stern said he
retained the rights to that material, much of it originally shown with
strategically placed pixilation, if it was ever shown on television at all.
That material will now be shown uncensored by In Demand, a venture of
Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner.
Rob Jacobson, president and chief executive of In Demand, said the company
would give Sirius three months to broadcast Mr. Stern's new shows
exclusively. But beginning April 1, subscribers to the pay-per-view package
will have access to those shows, as well as each new show, which will be
available the day after Sirius listeners have heard it.
Beginning in January (the exact date has not been announced), Mr. Stern's
two Sirius channels will be available to those willing to pay for a receiver
(models start at $50) and a monthly fee of $12.95. The same flat fee
provides access to dozens of other channels, including those featuring
Martha Stewart and Eminem.
Sirius executives have been circumspect about the content of the two Stern
channels. But the host, showing he had not lost his knack for tweaking his
bosses, provided the most detailed description yet of his plans.
He said that one channel would showcase various free-form spinoffs of his
morning show, featuring not only his regular cast (including Gary
Dell'Abate, his longtime producer) but also prominent listeners with
nicknames like High-Pitched Eric.
The other channel, he said, would be modeled on the "Good Guys" - the lineup
of disc jockeys from WMCA, the legendary New York pop station of the late
1960's and 70's - though rather than being "good," Mr. Stern said, the hosts
he would hire (some established, some new) would push the bounds of decency
in a manner not unlike his.
There will, for example, be plenty of cursing.
"From the absurd basement humor, whatever you call it, locker-room humor, to
just riffing about human experiences," he said. "I can't think of a better
utopia for me."
"I thanked God today I made this deal a year ago," he said. "I really did. I
would have quit radio for good if it hadn't been for this deal." |
