What Do You Think The Real Size of OnA's Audience is?
7 2013-09-03 by waytogo17
Including all the international and youtube listeners along with the people who just listen in their car when they are bored? My guess would be a million total world wide. Or close to it. I can't believe Siriusxm still keeps them premium for people with Sirius radios, if they got rid of that it would save people with Sirius about 30 bucks a year and double OnA's audience.

The Sirius/premium thing is a very legitimate beef, and it was one of the reasons I didn't get into the show earlier.
What's interesting is that if you go with the internet only subscription, you get O and A and other "premium" channels for less than you'd be paying for the Sirius radio subscription.
I got into O and A when I got my first Droid and Sirius launched the online app. I have unlimited data, so I canceled my radio, got the internet subscription, and ended up with more channels for less money.
Sirius/XM really is run by a bunch of monkeys trying to hump a doorknob.

wow ur story really illustrates how stupid all them SiriusXm ppl are.

Yeah, whenever I've called customer service or emailed the company about how they're one shared company so the channels shouldn't be limited because of what radio you have (in my case Sirius b/c I have a Chrysler). Customer service has no idea, and the emails come back as some form response.

Oh you mean every O&A fan isn't here right now? SHIT!!!! I HAD NO IDEA!!!!

I'm sure Howard is keeping them from being on non-Premium Sirius. After all, the 4 days a week he's not working, his listeners might change the channel and never come back.

You meant 4 days a month, right?

millions and millions

As of January of 2012 there were nearly 22 million subscribers, of those 22 million, who knows? 1, 2 million, tops would be my guess.
1 Gregsbouch 2013-09-03
According to Howard he has 22 millions listeners so that can't be right, unless they catch OnA on replays.
2 blindkeller 2013-09-03
I don't know how many but I bet O&A do. Opie is all about "checkin his numbas"
1 waytogo17 2013-09-03
I guess SiriusXm would never do it though, they want that 30 bucks a year so bad.
0 ohpeerm 2013-09-03
You realise it's not just one subscriber's $30 they'd be losing right?
3 waytogo17 2013-09-03
yea of course. But they'd make more money if they let everyone get all the channels, at leas that's what I think. In the end everything is available on the internet so you want to make your product as convenient and widely spread as possible to at least give people the option of paying for it and listening as simply and conveniently as possible instead of feeling like they are getting jipped and deciding to just pirate it.
1 mancubuss 2013-09-03
I know several people who have Sirius. I tried to get them to listen but remembered they'd have to pay extra and do leg work. Dumb marketing
1 TheHotsauceKid 2013-09-03
Like eight or nine...

Its really hard to tell, the audience may feel small at times because some fans are so dedicated and are constantly interacting on twitter to the point where you start to recognise their names! I'd say O&A is on the up where Howard is on the decline.
4 iamfromreallife 2013-09-03
I would say both are on decline... the golden days are way past them. When was the last time they did a bit that caught any media or even social media attention?

I remember something about a cake.
0 iamfromreallife 2013-09-03
Yes, from 7 years ago... that's what I'm saying.
3 Canny138 2013-09-03
All that reddit outrage... 7 years ago huh?
1 The_Weird_Ginger_Guy 2013-09-03
Yeah obviously they are not as big as they where on terrestrial but people have no reason to tune out and never listen again, with Howard that's a different story. I wonder if they actually had leaked the Metallica info, how many media outlets would have reported it?

I heard somewhere that it's the most popular radio show in the world. Radio journalism at its finest!
0 CUNTYMOM 2013-09-03
i bet a ton of people, but i like where they are at, they are not total rich cunts and i enjoy feeling like im the only person i know thats a dedicated listener, its my own secret box of laughs, although i have my GF say "whats that?" to chip.
0 im_not 2013-09-03
Pretty big. Not as big as it was before Homeless Charlie, not as small as it was during the "We're Quitting After Our Contract" Era of 2010-2011.
