What H101 show will get the Scott Ferrall slot..

Move Nick & Artie to the channels..

Move Nick & Artie to the channels..

Nick and Artie are already simulcasted on Sirius/XM. Why would John Malone spend good money on N&A and put it on Howard's channels when Malone is already giving Howard good money to program those channels?


I heard Abe Kanan was replacing Ferrell too.

The Nick & Artie show would have a lot more listeners if they were simulcast on Howard 100 or 101. Bubba's show was the second most listened to show on Sirius after Howard when Bubba was on Sirius. I don't know how many listeners Nick & Artie have on Sirius now, but I'm sure if they moved to Howard's channels and Howard finally mentioned their show and gave them some plugs the Nick & Artie show would be the second most listened to show on Sirius.

This Abe Kanan tomfoolery has nothing more to do with than the fact that Howard no longer wants a "business relationship" with Artie anymore. That is a fact. It was said by Artie over the summer. During Artie and Howard's secret meeting at an undisclosed location, Howard said he would like them to still be friends and "bros" but that they shouldn't have a "business relationship" anymore. Howard finally maned up and said this after Artie was on his new show over six months.

I get that Artie was unreliable, a liar and violent at times but that was because he is a drug addict, alcoholic, gambling, manic depressive person. Not because he didn't care about Howard or the show. Artie hasn't missed one day of work on the Nick & Artie show (not counting the day he was suspended for pissing on the studio wall). Artie Lange will never be employed at the Howard Stern show ever again, after a couple years of that being up in the air, it's a universally accepted fact now. But having the Nick & Artie show simulcast on his channels isn't as big of a risk as having Artie back in the "Artie chair". The Nick & Artie show would reach new heights, help Sirius/XM, help the channels and be good for the fans. It should happen, and for that reason it will likely never happen.

In conclusion, Howard wants nothing to do with Arthur Lange. Howard's chicken shit "non-business relationship" was his way of squiring away from the idea of telling Artie the truth. Howard is fed up with Artie. Howard feels betrayed, Artie midas well have stabbed Howard on that doom-filled January morning. Howard not mentioning Artie and not reaching out to him isn't Howard not trying to push Artie over the edge again - Howard thinks if Artie came in-studio, something might be said that would result in Artie attempting suicide again. The fact of the matter is that Howard wants Artie out of his life. Howard no longer wants a business relationship and only wants a "personal" relationship. Apparently a "personal" relationship to Howard is calling your bro a couple times after a suicide attempt and only seeing him once in three years following the event. Artie scares Howard, even a phone call once a year or a Christmas card might be pushing it at this point. Howard only cares about himself. Howard doesn't care about Artie, his fans, the channels, the company, no one - except Howard.

These conclusions may have been true 5 years ago, but not now.

I would put a million dollars in escrow in a bet with Howard that Nick & Artie have at least 200k more listeners. Anyway, any Howard fan who is still looking for an Artie fix has already found him and the remaining have drunk the Howard kool-aid and are angry at Artie so they wouldn’t give him a chance. If anything, N&A would be doing Howard a favor by going on his channels.

N&A are doing it right: terrestrial, streaming, satellite, podcast and TV. They are making their quality show very easy to get. Minimal audiences in all those formats equal one large audience. The Rush Limbaugh model, the opposite of the Howard model. The way to go in the future.

As for Bubba, if being on Howard’s channels was such a wonderful deal why did his terrestrial/satellite setup fail?

Not only is Howard’s star fading but he is at the point of being turned into a figure of ridicule. Anyone hitching their wagon to him is going to get splattered with shit.

The only way he can save his rep is to put in KROCK level efforts or fully fund the revolution like he promised - none of which is going to happen.

Artie is the first one to admit that he fucked himself out of the greatest gig in the world. He's very respectful and gracious to Howard whenever Howard's name or the show comes up. I agree with his sentiments. But that doesn't mean Howard isn’t culpable of moral malfeasance for profiting off of Artie's death spiral. Howard could have told Goodstein to edit some of that stuff out at any time.

Here's what makes more sense to me: Howard has to be silent about Artie because there are to many clips the Tapes Team plays that demonstrate that Howard was not only aware of Artie's addiction he was egging his in studio erratic behavior. He can’t have that examined - and having Artie in, on or discussed is bound to bring it up.

You remember that little game Howard played that time when he demonstrated how he could get anyone agitated in one sentence? Howard played that game all the time without announcing it. And, he got the desired effect.

Move Nick & Artie to the channels..

this and black on black

[Night Ape]

Move Nick & Artie to the channels..

this.

But it'll probably be friggin Bubba..

[azman5103]

this.

But it'll probably be friggin Bubba..

I used to really enjoy Bubba's show...but god I hope this doesnt happen.

Bubba and his crew are maybe the only people lazier than Wiggy. His Radio IO bullshit was seriously the most blatant scam I have ever seen. He conned people into paying for his show...then ended up giving it away for free....and thats still to expensive for that garbage.

I would assume that if Bubba was back on Sirius it would be a replay of his RadioIO show. That is worse than just having dead air for 2 hours on 101.

Bubba's show was supposed to be 2 hours/4 days a week. The usual routine (when I used to listen) was this:

45 min of Bubba taking phone calls from the same losers everyday (sound familiar?)
15 min bit/song/commercial
30 min of Bubba talking about either some local Tampa bullshit/how stupid religious people are/or some shitty racing crap (not even Nascar...like local division 5 dirt track racing)
15 min bit/song/commercial
15 min replay of a bit from 1990's terrestrial radio
show over

It was some of the laziest radio Ive ever heard.....and I listen to Howard Stern.

I would take Abe Kanan in a heartbeat over Bubba at this point.

[kauzpayne2002]

this.

But it'll probably be friggin Bubba..

sirius wants nothing to do with bubba or his agent because of the scam corporations there are involved in.

Riley Martin's Infomercial Hour!

[GaryPuppet]

Abe Kanan 5 nights a week!

[BudBudha]

Abe Kanan 5 nights a week!

Is that a lock?

Was that Abe in the studio with Evil Dave last week?

[GaryPuppet]

Is that a lock?

Was that Abe in the studio with Evil Dave last week?

Yes it was.

[BudBudha]

Yes it was.

I knew something was rotten in Denmark when Stern spoke so highly of Abe in the studio w/ Evil Dave and defended him when callers criticized his show.

[Ruffypup]

Abe Kanan 5 nights a week!

Coooo!

[Former Glory]

Abe Kanan 5 nights a week!

Yeah..the hangman's smilie is correct here...Abe's show is nothing short of horrible.

[fccstandards]

Yeah..the hangman's smilie is correct here...Abe's show is nothing short of horrible.

I tried to listen to the tail end of it Sat. It was awful. It sounds like college radio. They all laugh at their own "jokes"

[azman5103]

Abe Kanan 5 nights a week!

Ok...it's not ideal...but its the best we could hope for and here's why.

#1- If the choice is between a 5 day a week/4 hour "show"...or a continuous loop of 1 hour fill in shows...I choose the first option.

#2- Howard would never have Nick and Artie (for whatever fucked up reason) and would never pay for anyone that has actually a legit broadcasting career.

#3- The Abe Kanan show is not HORRIBLE...I would say its not great.....BUT...it could get better. While I can only stand it in small doses, I have heard some funny conversations that made me chuckle. It seems like Abe and the rest of those guys are hungry, and if they get a legit shot they would work really hard to make the show better. Working hard to make a show decent is foreign to Howard and his crew...so again, I think its better they bring in a new crew.

#4- Im pretty sure Abe Kanan is based out of Chicago. If they are not actually in the Sirius NYC studios...I think there is less of a chance they will spend the show kissing Wiggys ass everyday.

Its not perfect, but I can honestly say I would put the show on while Im driving home and give it a shot. I could not say the same for "The Debby the Pet Lady Show"...or "Two Annoying Blacks"...or any other lame (basically free) crap Wiggy would put on the air.

You're entitled to your opinion but I couldn't disagree more. It is HORRIBLE and it's been on for quite a while with absolutely no improvement. If anything it's gotten worse - I had the misfortune of hearing another one of their unbelievably bad phony phone calls today and it was just as embarrassing as the rest of them. Also, if you think they don't kiss Wiggy's ass you haven't listened much. They do it constantly, it's got to be the only reason they're still on the air.

This. They do put in alot of work into the show and get good guests...I like the energy but my achilles heal is when he starts with his Coooo! shit and his "men of honor" shit and his " squad leader" shit.... that just annoys me and I don't know why but it does. Other than that... I can't fault their efforts with the exception of stereotyping Bass into a giant dope, where in fact he appears more likable and level headed than the rest of the crew. All in all ,, that is what radio is about though,,, love/hate/love is the goal.... Coooo!
