It's true. We're all supporting a fucking dinosaur of media not only in a shock-jock radio show, but satellite radio itself. With the transfer of ownership to Liberty Media, it's all just a numbers game, and that leaves
O&A without a leg to stand on... no one would ever take them on again, besides where they are now.
I'd love to see them as the first pay-to-listen show on Bobby Kelly's Riotcast or Bill Burr's All Things Comedy networks. Could they possibly make the same kind of money with a podcast? OK, $5/month from 100,000 subscribers would be $6 million a year (before taxes), but it has to pay everyone and support the infrastructure. Is that sustainable long term? Maybe, if they take the show to the next level (which they can with the freedom they get on the Internet).
If we're crunching these numbers, so are the boys.
Seems some ominous shit is going down. Right now it's what dr Steve and O&A? Doesn't sound like they are doing shit for the guys just putting them in their own island expecting them or forcing them to just leave at the end of their contracts.
Who cares about the advice show? It's one day a week and I'd rather listen to Sam than hear about listeners shitty problems.
Everyone cussing about Sabean is stupid. If he brings forward a great show to fill in for RnF and even if it removes the aftershow I'd be good with that.
Call me crazy, but I wanted the Sam & Whoodat show... Or even Bawb and Sam. Whoo Kid wouldn't do it because he's too busy fuckin' bitches on every continent, but a man can dream. Sam earned that slot imo. It's a shame they're unloading the entire channel.
The SXM press release said he was the new VP of talk programming. In charge of all non-Howard & non-music channels. I think he wants to make it look like he's doing things, so he moves R&F and now he's reshuffling shit all over the place. O&A, ESD's show, maybe other shit other places. He needs to show Greenstein and the new CEO that he is (Jimmy voice) "doing things!!!!!"

So there's got to be someone in the future to bring balance to the force.
7 IggysGlove 2014-01-05
Am I the only one who saw star wars? Following this analogy tim would in fact bring balance to the force. But not till the end of return of the jedi

It is? Damn I love that show.
12 Autorotator 2014-01-05
Ill wait till Monday. For all you all know there's new stuff coming. For all we know Dave will be producing Ron and Pepper.
We know jack shit right now. All we KNOW is that things are changing.
Given Sirius' past, it's probably a shit sandwich, but we don't KNOW yet.
3 uhh-huhh 2014-01-05
the guy is on air talent, not associate producer
1 Autorotator 2014-01-05
Hey, whatever. The point is we don't know shit yet, best to wait until we KNOW they are getting hosed before losing our collective shit.

I just don't see them (especially Anthony) having the energy to build a new show from the ground up though.
The paycheck wont be near the one they have now at SiriusXM for a foreseeable future - even if you crunch the numbers.
0 SpaceEdge 2014-01-05
They would deff have to join a podcast network they are way to lazy to get their own going and frankly they are really late to the podcast thing.
2 Motorboat_Jones 2014-01-05
I would definitely pay for that. Plus, the show would have zero restrictions on a podcast.

tru more money in podasting plus better staf imo

Fuck Sam. "He stinks and I don't like him."
2 krbin 2014-01-05
I think Sabean is trying to justify his job.
The SXM press release said he was the new VP of talk programming. In charge of all non-Howard & non-music channels. I think he wants to make it look like he's doing things, so he moves R&F and now he's reshuffling shit all over the place. O&A, ESD's show, maybe other shit other places.
