Yeah but if Stern was on TV uncensored everyday, would you buy Sirius to listen to him on the radio too?

And like STern said, if Oprah is gonna ride the Sybian or do some crazy ish, that would make you want to pay for it, maybe people would. But if they can get the same content for free, no one is gonna care.

It's a double edged sword. No one is gonna care if friggin Oprah has 1 show for free, and then make you pay for the same ****. It's science.

Howards thoughts on Oprah (taken from MarksFriggin.com)....

"Howard got back to the XM story. He doesn't think that it's any bigger of a deal than the Martha Stewart deal on SIRIUS. He said that Oprah is never going to show up at XM. She's going to do a half hour show a week for 3 years and $55 million. He said he can picture the people over at XM in a meeting talking about hiring her. Oprah probably told them that she was too busy so they figured they'd have her just show up once a week. Oprah probably called her friend Gail and told her to do the show with her because it's only 30 minutes a week.

The women who watch Oprah are not the type of people who will go out and buy satellite radios in Howard's opinion. He read that it will be Oprah's friends on her show and he figures Oprah will not put any effort into this show. She doesn't put any effort into her ''Oprah After Hours'' show so she probably won't put it into this new XM show.

Howard said that XM's stock price shot up a bit after the Oprah show. He found an article about the deal and said that Hugh Panero and the people at XM are desperate to stay on top now that Howard Stern is on their competitor's service. He said that Oprah's show is going to be an inferior product because she's not going to put the time into doing this show of hers. Howard said that he's there working on his show constantly and it's a lot more work than she expects.

Howard said he laughs at the XM deal. They did get some nice press though. He said that his picture was right there next to his so it's good for him too. He said that she will probably get 100,000 people to sign up but then word will spread that she's not appearing on there that much and people will drop off. She'll walk away after 3 years with $55 million worth of XM's money.

Robin said that Oprah will probably give away XM radios on her show to her fans. Howard said that everyone will forget about this deal in a few days and it will quietly go away. He figures that XM paid $55 million for some free publicity. He said that Oprah did a phone interview with some reporters yesterday. $55 million for a phone interview and a half hour a week show.

Howard doesn't think that XM will make money back with the Oprah deal. He said that they pulled Ellen Degeneres into their service but Ellen doesn't even show up to the studios like they show on their commercials. Ellen just replays her TV show for them. Howard said that they need exclusive content to make something like that worth listening to.

Howard read that Oprah's show is going to be 30 minutes a week, for only 39 weeks a year. It's not even the whole year. Oprah is now working on content for her channel so Howard figures she has nothing figured out yet. He said that Oprah will probably have her friend Gail talk to her for 30 minutes and that's it. Oprah is calling her show ''reality radio'' but Howard said that it won't be real because she won't be honest on her show. A bunch of Oprah's regular guests will be on her show but none of them are radio people either. They won't be rebroadcasting her TV show either.

Howard read that Oprah did radio when she was in high school but she obviously bailed out on it for TV because she couldn't do anything with it. Howard figures she's just going to phone in the show and take XM's money. He played some news reports about the deal and they were saying that Oprah is getting paid much better than Howard Stern is because of the amount she's making for a 30 minute show. Howard said that XM appears to be in panic mode now because SIRIUS isn't going away. He said he may have to subscribe to XM just to hear the awful Oprah show for himself.

Howard played another audio clip where some reporters were comparing the Oprah deal to Howard Stern's deal. One guy said you can't underestimate the power of Oprah and he thinks that she's going to bring in a lot of her audience. Howard said that the arguments that the reporters were having were a joke. The reporters were yelling at each other over the subject."

Knightstalker had to wipe the drool off his chin because of this pic. KS hopes someone smites Garnet again so he can reward him with the appropriate Karma total.

On second thought +K for all except TDT who shall be smote in compliance with MIAC posting standards.

lewdogg11 · February 10, 2006, 07:48:50 PM

AFTER 2? After 1 you're in some sh!t. I'm sorry, if you have a baby and you don't know who the Daddy is, then you is a big fat slobbering hoe bag. I know who all of my baby's momma's are. it's science.

Yoko Ono's involved in the Opening ceremonies, JT feels like hurling. To this day he maintains that Mark Chapman was just a really bad shot and was actually trying to take out Yoko. JT endorses capping Yoko.
