How do you think things are going over at Ant's camp lately and what's your guess at how the future will be?
0 2014-11-09 by [deleted]
Was checking out the subreddit over there.. Sounds like people are a little bit flustered about the show. You hear of people cancelling their subs lately too. Seems like there's some technical issues as well.
Then there's a thread over there about people suggesting improvements. Not easy running a show keeping up content. You should use your imagination though a bit. Not too hard to find interesting stuff to chat about. Just go look at the deep into youtube or something around here. Doesn't always have to be the news of the day.
But yeah, what do you guys think 'll happen with Ant's show in the future? That whole paying for subscription thing, plus sounds like they need more staff if you want more content. Seems like the fans are getting a bit let down. You had to expect that though, the initial peak and then sorta goes down a bit.
Ya just kinda get a hunch that later in the future the 3 chumps will get back together. But it'll be like some washed-up 80's band getting back together and it'll just be meh. lol. So yeah, time to move on from it all. Good old days are over.
My opinion about the situation with Ant's show... With other people involved, it's only a matter of time before there's arguments. Sooner than later, somebody's gonna get pissy. Watch for that. So there's gonna be trouble with having staff. Not sure how he used to run it when it was Live at the compound, he might of had someone behind the camera. But what I'd do is sack the whole staff. Whatever equipment, have that at your fingertips and run all that shit yourself. Then ya don't gotta deal with nobody trying to run the show the way they want it. It could truly be the Anthony Cumia show. It's like being a band as opposed to making the music yourself. What a pisser when you get other idiots that say no, that's not good.
As for the paid subscription thing. That's just closing the door to more fans. What's gonna happen now is those numbers will dwindle. All ya got there are the pests that went over and they're pissy so they'll leave. So watch for those numbers to keep going down. It's like a walled garden and nobody new 'll hear about it. To open up the door to new fans, it's gotta be a free show.
And then with the content of just like how LFTC was, there's just no imagination. If ya got a show, you should do some content. He should do a scripted thing like Louis. Ya know these guys like opie with no imagination with their shit. Then they wonder why they don't get more famous.
So yeah.. nothin new is gonna go on with any of these guys in the future. Just downhill and retire. Even Jimmy's starting to give up and lose that ambition and drive to be more successful. So whatever with these guys and the mediocre programs with no imagination. Make the shit fun, instead of the same old horseshit as usual. Christ, in your spare time, turn the tv off, turn the fucking video games off, quit fucking around on the internet and get to fucking work on improving your shows.

They're constantly making improvements and actually communicate changes to fans (unlike O&J who think people won't notice the zoo format flip).
This was from today: STUDIO PROGRESS
If you missed the pictures, Rat, Awesome Garrett and our old friend Derek spent some off time in studio setting up Garrett with all his production needs. Including PHONE SCREENING. Sorry to Nucky Thompson, Chris from Lindenhurst and some of the other callers who may not make it all the way to air.
In addition Derek spent quite a bit of time tweaking audio. We appreciate him bringing his expertise to The Compound.
COMING SOON TO THE COMPOUND
As we look for added improvements to the brand, I've had a few meetings yesterday to bring TACS to a NYC studio for shows where we have guests who cannot make the Compound trip. We anticipate having this hammered out by year end. A space w LIVE audience space is a possibility. I'll keep you posted.
Anthony and the team appreciate your loyalty and dedication to TACS. Thank you for the support and criticism. Both help us make improvements you the subscriber want.

This is awesome news. Also awesome is that dumb Chris from Lindenhurst won't be calling in anymore to say hi and add nothing of value.

ants pretty easy going, he never got in conflicts with the staff that was opie, hes not into confrontation. idk why you would suggest that he sack the staff when people are complaining about technical problems... he needs all the help he can get. this whole post is just nonsense.
"Then ya don't gotta deal with nobody trying to run the show the way they want it. It could truly be the Anthony Cumia show." the fuck are you even talking about? have you even heard his show?? and btw theres really not that many techincal problems its fine and the show has only existed for a few months now.
"As for the paid subscription thing. That's just closing the door to more fans. What's gonna happen now is those numbers will dwindle.

To open up the door to new fans, it's gotta be a free show."
anthony claims he is making more money now than he did before, im sure it just about equals out with server costs and paying for staff, but idk. for every 13k subscribers hes reeling in a million dollars approximately, hes doing just fine with this model. His show is better than the opie and jimmy show so he has that going for him. fans of o&a listening to that dogshit is just an advertisement to go and listen to anthonys show. He COULD go the adam carolla route, but adam carolla works his fucking ass off, does tons of live gigs, has tons of side projects on television and making his own movies. with the paid subscription anthony can maintain his standard of living, without focus groups able to attack sponsors and him in the process. to open up the door to new fans and old he throws an hour on itunes every week.
"And then with the content of just like how LFTC was, there's just no imagination. If ya got a show, you should do some content. He should do a scripted thing like Louis" is this a fucking joke? you want anthony to do a fucking skit? who have you been listening to all these years that you think anthony is going to write skits for his show!? hes a radio guy, we listen to him for radio content, thats it.
TACS will never be what it could be until ants reuinited with jimmy, who knows how long thatll be, but its a decent show, better than OJ, and hes doing just fine. i fully understand not listening to these shows anymore, i barely listen to either, but this whole post is retarded as all fuck.

I feel like the show is better than O&J, but could be much better with someone for Ant to talk to. Some listeners on these forums are getting bored with the show already so hopefully something happens soon.

I think TACS is better than O&J. Ants show is really in its infancy and is improving every week. He's listening to fans (especially on reddit) and progressing nicely. I personally am bored by the 'race' stuff but I think that will fizzle out too. Long story short, I'd prefer to listen to Ant by himself than Jummy and Ol' Shell Necklace interview Nick Wallenta (yawn!)

You made a brand new reddit account to write all that?

I'll try to keep this under 37 paragraphs. I wasn't a huge fan of his show. He's hilarious but he's not a host, he was second mic on O&A and he should be second mic on whatever he's doing now. He's stretched too thin on his own and KTC and Rat should never be heard on any broadcast of anything. He really is a Jim Norton or someone similar away from having a must-listen show, but by himself it's hard to stay interested.
