Sirius "Making Changes"

[kippy]

The Revolution is about to start....



7 years too late.

[Nemo]

Forget the fact that Michael Jackson and Whitney Houstan both died,were buried, and old fucking news by the time Stern did a live show.

Would anyone really want 4-5 days a week of this horrible-ness?
Howard could have taken a break from this fake staff filler and did some Mantity Teo fun and funny. So much potential funny in this story. That is just one example of what lazy fucks both Howard and Robin are now.

The Stern show once talked about topical current stuff.
Now you can turn on a live show and not know that it is a live show for a fucking hour!


President Malone....humble Howard with regular ratings!

[smichal]

Maybe Malone will try to find out why people are cancelling. I hope he confronts Howard, saying that they lost subscribers because his show sucks.

[username]

People give Malone to much props.
Wiggy, for example, have a valid contract. Malone can't do shit, beside fuck a bit with the King of all Pelicans.

The show budget is set. The Wigs money is set.

The only thing Howard knows is that he wont be renewed in 3 years since Malone is not in the tribe.

The fucking with Howard have begun.
They don't get studios outside Studio69. They have to use Scott the Engineers room to send shows like GeekTime. (Mr Wig demands that his studio is empty 95% of the week).

Demanding payments for repair, telephone system and conference rooms.

Malone should ban Howard from using the freight elevator. MrWig is the only one who have his own entrance.
Malone should fire Ronnie and hire a shit limo service (Sirius is bound by contract providing 24/7 limo service. But nowhere is the quality of the service defined. Sirius could buy a MiniCooper and have an intern driving around Howard)

Malone could demand that the show staff (that are Sirius employees) work on other shows. (only problem is Howard's creative control clause of 100/101)

Charge Howard for all the AGT commercials. Howard said that one of the reasons why AGT hired him, was that he could plug it on the show. If Reilly cant sell plugs for 50 dollars, how can Pluggy sell them for 15+ millions?

Malone could fuck Beth.

Here's a little proof about all of these "changes" that the Stern staff is worried about with Malone taking over.

When Rosie left Sirius, they gave her sidekick, Jeanette, her own show. I'd listen to her when I (often) changed the channel to get away from whatever Howard was talking about. She's a quirky, older lady, kind of like Lynn Samuels was - a little annoying, but endearing, and she talked about some off-the-wall things that interested me.

Today, she said they "shitcanned" her yesterday and told her that her last show will be February 15. She mentioned that there are "a lot of changes going on at Sirius".

It caught me off-guard, but I guess they really are going to clean house. Hence, Howard's sudden frenzy of fake meetings and concern about the quality of the show.

I wonder if the nuns over at the Catholic channel are praying to keep their jobs.

I actually listen to the Catholic Channel, and I don't think they have anything to worry about. One of the on air hosts, I can't remember who it was, let it slip that he was making under $40,000 annually a few years back. Plus, it's actually pretty popular as an EWTN alternative. EWTN is super conservative, whereas the Catholic Channel is much more moderate in its views. I'd bet money they survive longer than Howard101.

Every nun I've met or spoken to has been great but that doesn't mean I don't believe they're all Uncle Toms.

[TelegramSam]

Well, nuns are like anyone else, there are good and bad ones. Generally speaking though, the Catholic Church is a really big tent with left and right leaning groups contained within it. Try bringing up Vatican II to a group of Catholics and see how fast the situation goes sour.

[jimbronie]

Username, I agree with you but we know over the last few years Howard hasn't cared about the show. To all of a sudden have all these meetings on how to improve the show. Something definitely is going on. Has Howard come to this conclusion on this own? I doubt it. The only one he listens to these days (except for the AGT decision) is buchwald. So I get a feeling buchwald knows something Howard is doing/not doing could put him in jeporady in some type of breach of contract.

It could be all prep for his next move but (if we are to believe what we hear) he still has 3 years to work on his image and he still believes his own press clippings and thinks media companies will be falling over each other to sign him to a huge contract.

at this point the one thing that would really mess with howard is not to be able to talk about agt. it's his little vanity project which unfortunately bores the hell out of everyone but he hopes increases the ratings.
i'm sure his contract is ironclad and malone could make it difficult for howard when it comes time to renew but the fact that he's having some angst is very good news. something is afoot.

Oh, I'm sure, but they belong to an institution that subjugates women. There can never be a female pope. I also understand that calling all of them Uncle Toms is a bit unfair, because I'm sure there's a whole lot of them who are fighting the system from within. In fact, I think there was some annual convention of nuns where their position on some hot-button issues got them in hot water with the Vatican.

I also know a priest or two who thinks the anti-gay position of the Vatican is absurd but he cannot make public statements against them unless he wants to find himself transferred to Chenai.

Oh no, I think you've got your finger on the issue there. His incessant blathering about that shit gong show can ( and hopefully will) be viewed as an on-air commercial and if he wants to continue to talk about it, NBC should buy ad time.

it's the same shit he pulled while at K-Rock, talking about Sirius, which means he should know better.

Can we get a link to this supposed shitcan statement?

howard never believes the rules apply to him personally...they're for the peons.

[Lou Cypher]

No. I heard it live on her show. It's not "supposed" - she said they "shitcanned" her. You'll just have to trust me.
