Malone should get rid of H101

I like Geek Time, Riley, Black on Black and Back Office Radio but he rest of the shows are not very good.
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.

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.

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.
