ESD described the TACS Network perfectly: "one step above Wayne's World"

that's not true at all. Wayne's World got viewers in the hundreds of thousands, TACS has viewers in the lesser tens of thousands. (roughly 20,000 to be more specific)

TACS is college radio, but college radio you have to pay for,

spoken like a true campus faggot

I'm having a hard time believing 20,000 people are paying for TACS.

Agreed. Artie Lange reports 9,000 subscribers. Ant is less popular than Artie.

ok, but considering Ant has to pay for a dozen people's salaries plus for a new york studio, and its only 1.2 million in all, it seems pretty plausible. The property taxes and income taxes for Ant means he has to make at least $500,000 a year just to maintain his lifestyle

I kinda assumed he was pissing away his savings on it in the hopes of it becoming profitable later.

maybe, but i assume Ant would have let that slip if it were true. like "i'm fucking going broke to provide a show for you cunts and you still complain" or something like that.

Plus i don't think Ant has much of a savings to begin with.

I'd guess 4500 subscribers for Ant, with a downward trend.

So you think Anthony has revenue of about 300,000 dollars? But has expenses of over a million dollars? That doesn't make any sense... He's paying 12 people's salaries. He's renting a super expensive studio in Manhattan. He's got to buy very expensive equipment etc. Your theory is that he just enjoys burning money? Also how does Anthony get so many advertisers for his network, if he only has 4500 subscribers?

Yes. I'd bet that like most new businesses, he's operating at a loss at this stage of operation.

I think the term "salary" is a little disingenuous.

I'd be surprised if he had that many

I would assume based on the cost analysis people have done in this and the TACs sub. they need at least 10,000+ subs to not be hemorrhaging money doing this.

And as much as Gavin might like Ant, he never would have signed on if Ant had less than 10,000 subs, because Gavin usually would get that much when he did a podcast for free.

EDIT: looking back on all the threads, TACS most likely has about 20,000 subs, or slightly less

Party time, maybe. Excellent? I don't know about that.

At least Wayne's World was getting a syndicated TV deal. TACS is about 2 bars below it.

That was Roy Schaffey

That's actually pretty funny. I'm sure anthony doesn't want his network described like that but it's true

I ras bown in Kowloon Bay!

TIL Deep Discount DVD still exists.

That explains the psycho hose-beast

"Who's the old lady?!"

"That's my old lady."

neil degrasse tyson begs to differ.

I loved waynes world, cock

TACS, Not just a place...but a state of mind...

Observational humor. Heh heh. I get it. Ugh....

What is Scorch's show?

What Rob Lowe planned on making Wayne's world into.

Then he should be cleaning the toilets and fetching coffee for Wayne's World.

I would re-subscribe to TACS if ESD was daily.

Oh, it isn't? I thought he left that Jersey station for this.

He's doing both. It's a smart career move. Be able to plug both, one behind a paywall that is uncensored.

Interesting, I could have swore I saw him tweet that he was leaving the Rat as part of a move to TACS, which is why I assumed it was daily.

I don't think so but I could be wrong.

If there was any way I could donate my ESD portion of programming to you I'd gladly do it. I can't stand his constant yelling into the microphone.

tacs sucks and so do you, you're in the wrong sub shithole

I wish you were a real ghost.
