I hope the meeting is revolutionary.

Absolutely NOTHING will come of this meeting.
It's a complete work and everyone knows it.

The only good thing that might come of it is Sirius actually canning Benjy when they realized they've been played.

But we all know they'd all be too scared shitless to pull something like that off because they won't even break omerta about Robin or even admit the gag order exists.

No he'd be scared shitless to do it because if in fact the company had a reorg tomorrow the employees that are safe are told to say nothing about the details. I am thinking that if shake ups are tomorrow it will not have an effect on the Stern show but it will have an effect on the executives and management at Sirius/XM. Maybe they will cut some sales/marketing as well. I think the cuts will start with the structure of the business and eventually the cuts will work their way into the producers/etc. for the various shows. Speaking from experience in another industry we spent a year worrying for our jobs because the new CEO usually makes periodic cuts his first year in.

Stern cannot be worried because he is under contract and I can't see Malone keeping him under contract and pulling his plug just to be an asshole. Unless Malone used to be a fan of the show and is now posting here. Other than that he really doesn't care about Stern...the money is spent.

But as we know they're all too scared to pull off a stunt like that, given they won't even break omerta about Robin let alone admit the gag order exists.

I'm hoping that John Malone admits to being Winst in today's meeting.

But....but I didn't pay for best of so I don't get O & A.....and I don't want to give them another cent.....and I don't do well in parking lot traffic without the show!

I also get the feeling that Howard would somehow manage to have them pay out the rest of the contract, and I do NOT want Howard to get what he wants.

I try to listen to O&A, but I just can't get into them. I really think there's a chance Howard 101 could become Bubba 101 based on some of the stuff Bubba has let out, and talking about how he's trying to get Shannon Burke another job and more exposure.

Jay Thomas said yesterdau that Ch104 is going to be renamed the Indie Channel.
And Comedy Central is supposed to be getting a channel soon. Maybe bigger changes are coming or just these little things.
