Another Sirius Firing

**Lou Cypher** · 03-13-2013, 01:35 PM

There were a couple of shows that I'd flip to when I occasionally still turned on my radio and Howard was boring (which was every time I turned on the radio). Rosie's sidekick, Janette Barber got fired weeks ago, so that was out. I turned on "Broadminded" yesterday, a yappy chick program that was tolerable because they had a lot of energy, decent topics, interesting guests and they obviously give a damn about their show. Well, they were saying good-bye because the show got canned and they all got fired.

They'd been there for 7 1/2 years. They had decent ratings (according to them). I didn't hear the reason for the firing, but another one bites the dust. It made me particularly angry because I changed over to their show when Howard was yammering like an old grandpa, leaving dead air, sniffling like he had a head full of snot and just generally being boring, dull and lazy. But lets keep overpaying him and toss the younger and more enthusiastic hosts to the curb.

Assholes.

"Assholes" is an understatement.

Everyday it get harder and harder for me to justify my subscription.

I'm not renewing when mine's up. I can't justify it anymore.

I still like listening to O&A, Ellis on occasion, and Frank DeCaro. As soon as O&A jump ship I'm done.

I'm pretty much down to listening to music channels, but I could do that with my iPod or a regular radio. I've been trying the new Pete Dominick show, but I could take it or leave it.

The music channels don't do it for me, I'll switch up between six of them and I always seem to be hearing the same 50 songs. I did hear a song from an old British metal band called tank the other day on the boneyard and I was blown away anybody at Sirius had the taste to play it.

The only time I listen to Sirius is on the way into work.

I called to cancel the other day and was given half off with free Internet and a free radio switch, so I kept it.

Bribery works sometimes.

Unfortunately, I don't think they care enough to bother in Canada (but neither do I, so it'll all work out).

It is worth it for some people. A lot of people had Sirius before Howard even knew what it was and they're faithful to the format. If there are a few specialty channels that you love, it's worth having.

Damn. I know the feeling. I couldn't imagine a day when I wouldn't turn the show on, but I rarely do at all anymore.

I just got spoiled with Sirius with all the other Great Music channels.
Plus I have a factory installed radio in my car....so it would be like having a Big Screen and No cable.

Love Howard still

The Music channels just blow me away, Great songs ya haven't heard for a while. Oh Yea!
