I’m stuck at work (away from a radio), so could someone please post Howard’s
announcement when he makes it.
My guess is that it’s something to do with satellite radio.
Many thanks.
Cheap bump
When his contract is up in 15 months, he’s going to Sirius satelite radio. Which sucks for those of us that simply aren’t a good match with satelite radio. I can only listen at work, and no way can I get Sirius in here.
By the way, he’s going to develop 5 shows, non-premium.
sigh…
Yeah, actually you can get Sirius at work, as long as you have a sound card in your computer. If you are a subscriber you can get the transmissions through their web site. Unfortunately, you can only get the music channels.
He’ll be at Sirius in 2006. Their stock will be :eek:
That’s the problem - I work on a Unix workstation, no sound card, no flash player, no 'net extras. I use CATIA, so I don’t get a PC. I guess they figured that if you’re getting a $14,000 work station, maybe you shouldn’t expect too many toys on it.
But I still want me some toys…
(and I was wrong, it was 3 shows, not 5)
What a coincidence that he annouced that this week :rolleyes:
Why do you say that? What’s this week?
I for one, am pretty psyched about it. I have XM, like satellite radio, and view this as a goof step forward for the industry.
It’s probably the future of radio and it will be good to hear the show the way he wants it.
I only wonder if it will have the same feel. There was something “outlaw” about his show, just broadcasting that stuff, always butting heads with censors. When there are no censors, is it then just a bunch of guys being dirty.
I think he’s smart enough and entertaining enough to keep it fresh.
What am I missing here? Why the rolleyes?
Take a look and see who started on XM this week. Just a coincidence I’m sure.
Okay, I give up. Who just started on XM this week? Greaseman? Imus?
Apparently, Sirus transmits the music channels on DISH Network. Hm. This could be good.
Bob Edwards?
Opie and Anthony?
Stern’s been talking about going to satellite radio for like a year now. I doubt that Bob Edwards going to XM caused him to finally sign on the dotted sign.
Who is Bob Edwards? Never heard of him. Opie and Anthony started on XM this Monday.
He hosted Morning Edition on NPR for 24 years and 6 months.
I guess this means I’ll be getting satellite radio in 15 months. I’ve listened to Howard since NBC; I can’t give him up now. I am sure that this will be a much more common medium for people to have now that Howard will be on it. And I seriously doubt that the NPR guy had anything to do with it. I’ve never heard him mention him.
Does he have naked lesbians?
Howard is going to Sirus because Opie & Anthony are now on XM. (Chanel 202 1.99 extra a month) There seems to be bad blood between Howie and O & A based on what I heard on their first show now that they can talk about anyone. With O & A having a 15 month head start on Howie this should get intresting. I doubt you will get Howie’s shows on the Sirus website because it’s too easy to capture the stream and broadast it to non subscribers.
Long Live O & A
Spread the virus!
Who the hell are Opie and Anderson?
I’d say the primary reason for Howard going to Sirius is that he’s sick of the FCC breathing down his neck, and sick of not being able to do the show he wants to do.
He’s been talking about that since 1988.
FWIW, I don’t even know who Opie & Anthony are. XM announced they were coming to XM and I said, “Who?”
