Tuesday's reorganization meeting going forward in 2013

You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.

[HORSETOOTHED]

He's headed towards a contract negotiation from a position of weakness. Usually he just threatens to quit but that approach won't work this time.

[kippy]

Howard's urine forever stained my pea coat!
You can't unpiss on me Wiggy!


Stern is sweating marbles...

Fans are like snowflakes, piss on them and they're gone.

[Yeahnolisten]

I am SO looking forward to three years from now when Howard asks his "fans" to come out in force and it's the same 15 dopes that show up to his other appearances. Nobody cares anymore and it kills him.

This is Howard's core audience these days. Long as they show up to AGT he is content.

[Uncle Larry]

I wonder if SiriusXM can opt out of the deal after 2013 - seems like the crew is acting busy these days, even if the new content is a bunch of lame bits involving staffers who don't belong on the air. After the AGT ratings debacle and another lawsuit against an employer, I don't see Stern being any sort of hot commodity for another company unless he's willing to work full-time for a lot less $.

Too bad HowardTV won't do a live feed of this epic meeting - it would make for some entertaining content for once.

Beautifully (and disgustingly!) put!!!

[MobyDick]

Howard Stern? Whatever happened to THAT guy?

[rilagent]

I guess Howard can't "create" his importance anymore. THEATER OF THE MIND!

Pow! Round on target!

[rilagent]

The interpreter is an outside consultant, and they usually don't come cheap if you get someone who knows what they are doing. Think about it: for Howard to actually SPEND MONEY out of his own pocket in an effort to improve the show? Something wicked this way comes....

I always thought he was only hurting himself by betraying his own concepts of the revolution. Pissing away a legacy can be very expensive.

[Humongous]

Jesus Christ.

The man should have retired at the end of 2010 and now he's talking about staying on after this contract? Sirius would have to be completely retarded to sign him again and God knows how abysmal the show will be by that point

He's like a fighter who doesn't know when to hang up the gloves and like a boxer, Howard appears to have brain damage. He can't remember anything and for the minute or two I tuned in yesterday, he was muttering about what the name of Soupy Sales's puppet was. .

Frivolous lawsuits against your current employer don't make one attractive to a prospective employer.

[Chaos]

I was surprised he re-upped. I thought he would go the iTunes route. Say if 2mill people (which isn't a outlandish number) paid 5 bucks a month half of what they pay Sirius. Howard would pull in 10mil a month. (After apple gets their taste) he could have had the money to do what ever he wanted professionally and got well paid personally.

[rilagent]

+Blame others for your failure.
(uninteresting untalented staff asked to fill the revolution!)
(Tim asked to create programming with NO budget)

+Take credit for anything successful.

Sycophants or no, I'd put a million dollars in escrow betting that there isn't a person in that compound who doesn't feel the same way. I'm sure there is a lot of anger at Booey for not taking charge in producing a better radio show all these years, too. At least Sabean has the excuse of no budget.

Don't be stupid you moron.

Dude for real. Trolling aside. That's a realistic number.

How so?

Is it? I just don't know if he has that many listeners in 2013.

Not to mention ones willing to pay for a dedicated Howard service (see: HowardTV). I'm sure a good portion of his listeners only listen because they have sirius in their cars. Move to some web based show, and you will lose all of them
