Howard calls Sirius XM his “greatest chapter” – “mission accomplished”

Monday, March 8, 2010

Howard proclaimed victory today, saying, “mission accomplished!” His tenure with Sirius XM is a success. Sirius XM had 600,000 subscribers when Howard signed, and after four years and a merger with XM, Howard read that Sirius XM now has 19 million subscribers. Howard stated, “Everywhere we went we delivered!” Preach on, brother Howard! When Howard decided to make his [...]

Glenn Beck’s Y95 “no gimmicks” morning zoo commercial – fail, fail, fail!

Wednesday, March 3, 2010

2 Comments

Just like Rush “Jeff Christy” Limbaugh, FOX news “political” commentator Glenn Beck used to be a morning zookeeper too. Here’s his Y95 commercial with Zippy the Chimp from 1986. With tongue in cheek, Howard said, “The whole commercial is we don’t need any gimmicks, meanwhile the whole commercial is filled with gimmicks, very, very, very, funny.” All [...]

Howard doesn’t care about re-signing – “kiss my ass”

Howard heard Les Moonves say he’lll never return to terrestrial radio. This set Howard off. “All of terrestrial radio is one big bore-fest,” says Howard, “They’ve got nobody to put on in the morning.” That’s why regular radio execs are lining up to suck Howard’s balls and cock. “I’ve heard from everyone in terrestrial radio,” Howard revealed. Nobody has [...]

You, me, every single fan wants to know what happens in a year. Will Howard stay with Sirius XM? Go somewhere else? Or retire altogether? It’s hard to say. Nobody’s talking. Not even Howard. Mum is the mother fucking word. But John Jurgensen of The Wall Street Journal has some ideas; stuff we already know. Howard re-ups with [...]

Howard will sell out for “American Idol” – but he also doesn’t give a shit

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Comments Off

“Of course it’s a sell out,” insisted Howard, “It’s a dumb karaoke contest.” The $100 million they’re saying Howard would get to do it is the key. Robin called it the only reason to sell out. But make no mistake. Howard doesn’t need Idol. “I haven’t been feeding into this other than having fun with it,” said Howard, “I [...]

It hasn’t stopped, still plenty of dickhead reporters are writing that Howard is going back to terrestrial radio. He’s not.

All weekend the internet was abuzz with reports that Howard was getting “offers” to go back to “testicular” radio. “I must have read fifty articles that I’m planning a return to terrestrial radio,” says Howard, “How does that all go so wrong?” Robin replied, “In the article, they do say that you said you had an offer.

As Howard’s deal with Sirius XM winds down, the suitors—err, rats—are starting to come out of the sewer, like Clear Channel Communications. Clear Channel is the same redneck company that pulled Howard off the air in 2004, because Howard created “great liability” for their chicken shit company. But now, John “Fuck Nut” Hogan, chief executive of Clear [...]

Howard “could do” regular radio – he is getting “inquiry”

Thursday, January 21, 2010

Comments Off

Bubba called in and Howard did an impromptu simulcast; both on satellite and on Bubba’s “testicular” airwaves. It went okay. No potty mouth from the un-censorable Howard Stern, so Bubba held that as proof that Howard could easily reclaim terrestrial radio. “Howard you could do regular radio, and you could make the return,” insisted Bubba, “You would [...]

35 million listeners for Sirius XM – they’re smart and rich people

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Comments Off

Satellite radio isn’t a niche anymore. An Arbitron study pins Sirius XM with 35 million listeners. Out of the 35 million, 32 million are weekly listeners, and many of those are sophisticated people; 56% are college graduates, only 24% for free radio. Sirius XM listeners have cash too; 24% have household incomes of $150,000 and over, compared [...]

Terrestrial radio has reached out to Howard – but maybe he’ll move to the internet

Thursday, January 14, 2010

Comments Off

Howard is still staying tight-lipped about his future. Will he stay, or will he go? “Everyone has been asking me what I’m going to do in a year,” he said, “I don’t even know right now. I don’t even care. I don’t even worry about it.” Internet radio might be an option. “For a guy like me who [...]

Citadel Broadcasting going bankrupt – dead without Howard

Monday, December 21, 2009

Comments Off

Looks like syndicating Imus doesn’t pay the bills, with $1.4 billion in assets and $2.5 billion in debt, Citadel Broadcasting has filed for bankruptcy protection. Back in the day, Citadel and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Farid Suleman—I can hear Fred playing the Indian music—used to syndicate Howard to markets in California, Pennsylvania, and Florida. But like [...]

Howard wants to take on the “People Meter”

Thursday, December 17, 2009

Comments Off

Howard started the show talking about the Arbitron radio ratings system. It’s pretty archaic. They distribute diaries to people. Participants log what stations or music they tune into, but Howard called bullshit on that, saying “You can’t figure out what people listen to!” That’s why other radio jocks would have listeners fill out diaries in their favor. [...]

Howard could “play God” on terrestrial radio

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

Comments Off

Howard admitted he does get a little sad seeing his former radio stations drop dead. “It’s really an amazing thing that happened to all our old radio stations,” he said, “They’re all in the toilet.” So Howard thinks it would be fun to go back to regular radio and resurrect them, or “play God.” But Howard would never [...]
