less content ... less to complain about = more value for subscribers? Huh?

I wonder what the actual cost is to operate 101. That is, would they save that much money by shuttering it?

Tim Sabian's salary. H101 doesn't need to exist, so Tim doesn't. It brings nothing. The H101 novelty factor wore off within about a week after they first got to Sirius when people realized it was another one of the big empty promises of the "exciting move to satellite".

Saving cost on Tim's salary + freeing up a channel of bandwidth on the sat, seem like a win-win.

The fact that Howard has been unable to build a stable lineup of regular shows for 101 after 7 years is another example of how limited he is as a talent.

I'll agree on BOR -- was good the first few episodes before Jason was given the do-not-talk-about list. You know back when he was still leaking gems like Robin doing the show from her bed. OTOH, whenever I hear John Hein casually mention "John Hein's TV show" in the third person like no big fucking deal -- thats pretty much the pinnacle of everything thats wrong with H101.

There's really no reason why they can't air everything on 100. Howard only works 3 days. His show blows, playing it, over and over over and over for 4 days. really isn't necessary.

I agree their is not enough original content for 2 channels.

**jyanks** · 01-24-2013, 07:15 AM

I believe the 2nd channel is in Howard's contract though.

That's interesting. Maybe that's why Howard is having all these meetings. That is, if Howard contractually is bound to a second channel it is possible that Malone & Co. might be pressuring Howard to provide better content for 101. They're trying to hold him to his contract.

Or maybe they WANT to get rid of it, and he doesn't, purely for ego's sake. Just a thought.

That too is possible.

2 channels = more commercial revenue for the wigster

yeah but if they get rid of H101 then they clearly no longer need half the staff in the office and those salaries I'm sure more than make up for the commercial revenues

This, as well as having it to air the West Coast feed. The production costs have to be minimal for the horrid shows they have, now that Bubba and Ferrall are gone. Good thing Howard never tried to fill a third channel - when he filed his agreement in the lawsuit, it mentioned that this was intended to be a premium channel with an additional fee.

I like Bubba.

I would rather hear Stern Show Shuffle every day all day than listen to Howard's show and the crappy H101 shows(with the exception of Black on Black, Geektime, and Jackie's Joke Hunt).

I love the Stern Show Shuffle. It's the only time I laugh listening to H100/101 these days.

I wish that they would just start playing old Howard shows (say 1994 on) day by day in order on 101. it would be way better than anything on there now. I loved shuffle at first. now it seems like the same bits repeated over and over.

I totally agree. I would love to hear the earlier years uncut, except for the commercials.
