XM vs. Sirius?

agreed, we've been quite dissapointed with their indie/alt offerings

sirius is tanking worse than xm.

your first opinion was that "o and a" are going to take ninety percent of howard fans. that's not howard's old chair at k-rock, it's mr. roth's. are you serious, though? o and a and howard are quasi-rivals in a realm of their own understanding. i can just see howard's fans giving in to the a-holes that are opie and anthony (that's an opinion, too). your next opinion was that howard's show is a failure. so you're saying that in three months time since the conception of the show, a single radio personality–in this day in age of ipods, twenty-four hour television assult, movies every tuesday on dvd at best buy, skinamax and porn to titilate–that can get two million listerners to switch to satellite radio (and wind up loving it over testical radio (another opinion)), with an estimate of four million by the end of 2006, a failure which is bombing? ok.
plus, i am a sort-of newbie as well on here. no senoir in my tea. everybody thinks i am buckethead without the act. just ask sonick or that other one; the one whom i make laugh. have a good evening and welcome to the carnival! my favorite opinion of yours was the one about how everyone is home on sundays. you slaves to t.v. are all the same. ;)

What Channel is that? Are you talking about Channel 25 Underground Garage?

A just released study by Bridge Ratings asserts that 1.1 million Howard Stern fans went over to Sirius to be able to continue listening to him. They say this is about 8.4% of his former audience. They also state this migration of his listeners to Sirius has stalled in recent weeks.

2 million obviously switched for howard.
You cant just add all the people that got sirius
over the holiday season and assume they are for Stern.

and yes i'm a slave to my tv as i work 11 hours a day and listen to O&A for another 5

i think that's it. it's a close as it gets to indie, i believe. you should also try the spa channel. seventy-seven, i think. i go to sleep to that shit every night.

i dare . . . you're a good guy, or girl. you're serious about your figures and you'll do fine on here. i can't wait to see the war that is to assume on radio now that o and a are back to battle the rest of the pack. i'm sure that they will be popular on testical radio. i particularly enjoy the fact that WJFK is falling away because of howard's departure. don and mike lost twenty-eight percent of their audience, supposedly because of it. interesting.

aren't o & a coming back on morning on jfk?

JFK is a disaster….possibly the most unfunny,uninformed,fratboy turds on radio(The Junkies)…..Don & Mike losing listeners like crazy…and then that clusterfuck during middays…..I just keep my My Fi rolling all day everywhere I go…..are you a "Pest" I Dare??……

nah not an official pest.
i cant do much from my location i suppose.
i will be up in ny on friday and i'm gonna do the walk over with O&A in the morning.

LMAO!!! 9 guys walking across the street together. you "pests" are funny fuckers. keep the laughs coming :cool:

what was the figure of people who switched to XM for O&A.. something like 30,000??? hmmmm. and they took "90 percent of stern's audience"??? how is that possible when they havent had an arbitron book yet??

that being said, they'll probably do well on FM since there's literally NOTHING to listen to anymore. but their show still sucks, and they'll always be second-rate wanna-be's. good day sir.

yeah, wannabe's is exactly what they.
even howard admitted to putting a gag order on opie and anthony. they weren't even allowed to say his name on air because howie got pissed. so they started saying "radio edit" when referring to his old ass, and then he made it to where they couldn't say that. then his hypocritcal ass got pissed off when his daughter appeared nude in a play but he can throw bologna at a girls ass and its called entertainment. he wanted to be xm but even xm knew he wasn't worth 500 mil.
i hope cbs wins their case against him. he has to hold press conferences now cause he knows no one listens to him. and you think there are only 9 pests? they got a news reporter fired, they made direct tv change their policy and got O&A back on one of their channels. there were more O&A pests/signs at howard march to the sirius studios than there were stern fans. they also ruined scott ferrel's one week run on sirius. now all he does is a recap of howard and bubba shows. so yeah there are only 9 pests. hoo hoo.

come on. just admit it. if you like howard, you don't like howard's competition. if you like howard's competition, then you don't like howard. end of story, end of whatever else. they both make more money than anybody on here, and just love the fact that morons like us across the globe are arguing like children on the short bus because of the simple fact that they exist.

I Dare.. I didn't need you to write a novel about how much howard hurt opie and anus' feelings. i just wanted you to answer the questions I asked.. so exactly how many people were willing to pay to listen to O&A? how exactly did they take all his listeners????

walkonby.. not necessarily true. you dont have to be a blind fan to be a fan. the reason i dont like O&A isn't cuz of what howard thinks (he doesnt even talk bad about them anymore.. i think he couldn't care less) - its because their show fucking BLOWS. the best guests they have are the ones that used to be on stern's show, and all they do with them is ask questions about howard. the few times i tuned into their XM show, at least an hour (if not more) was dedicated to playing stern clips and trying to bash him. those guys are disgruntled fanboys and so are most of their followers. they call howard "old", yet anthony is only like 4 years younger than howard (and looks about 5 years older than him!)

i give them props for having kevin smith on for an entire 4 hours, and having jimmy norton as the third mic (the only thing they got going for 'em) but thats it.

oh and by the way mister nugz. . . i like your name.

i enjoy how now they are offering a deal to howard, just like the one o and a have. they want howard to do a cut down version of his sirius show and put it up against o and a on the cbs owned channels. howard is even "considering" doing it because of the pathetic lawsuit cbs filed against him, since he knows that his free show will destroy o and a's free show. it's already doing that quite well on satellite. cheers to the the god that is stern.

PLEASE….let it replace those intensly annoying asshole Junkies on HFS! PLEASE!!!! Heck, I'd even settle for O&A. Anybody!!! I need something to switch to during my morning drive when I don't feel like fooling around with CDs and WTMD has played yet another crap DMB or John Mayer song or some other shit like that, which they play about 85% of the time. I can't take it any longer!!!! The Junkies are even more annoying, or rather irritatingly obnoxious, than WTMD. Sometimes I give up and chill out to NPR hoping that when I switch back, something more tolerable has hit the waves.

O&A are close to 3 million on xm. which is just about as many people that sirius has subscribed.

sirius had close to three to four million before howard, and now they are at six million. their stocks are up, and the first quarter of sirius for 2006 destroyed xm's (not an opinion). and there is no way, i think, for satellite to pinpoint exactly what their subscribers are listening to, so i would love to know how opie and anthony think that three million of xm listerners are tuning in to them.
