>sup fellas. ive been a loyal stern fan for 15 years. to me the show is all about NOTHING, litteraly nothing. i dont care about benji's lovelife, i dont care about howard whinning he's tired, i dont care about the channel lineup changes, the new program director sucks balls, the run of uninteresting and repetitive guests is just unacceptable. im sick of the constant replaying of old shit i've heard 50 f'n times already. come up with some new f'n sternthology blocks. no effort is put into the show or the programming. yeah you'll tell me to stop listening which i mostly have. its just not a turn on anymore where i rush to listen. once stern leave sirius, unless he strikes a deal for them to play his old shit, the company is going to die, simple as that. im sure i'll get bashed here but its just my 2 cents.
Of course SiriusXM is going to die. The hardware/signal
delivery/business model isn't the future, it's obsolete. Satellite
direct to a receiver you have to buy in addition to subscription?
Imagine if TV had started like that. Instead of a channel changer to
go from CBS to NBC to ABC, you would have had to buy a separate TV for
each network. Television would never have succeeded. Everybody wants
everything, the whole world, to come to a single gadget, like a smart
phone. Or all their gadgets. No limits, rules, arbitrary extra
expense and trouble. Sirius is becoming just another service on your
phone. Their satellites will go off line or be rented out for other
uses. Content will be king in attracting subscribers. And what has
Sirius been doing to their content? Destroying it. Firing good
people. They won't pay for real talent. If nobodies with a vlog,
YouTube channel, podcast can tumble into your phone along side Sirius,
and get bigger, more enthusiastic audiences, Sirius is done. Hell, the
iHeartRadio app is in some ways better than Sirius, which is why Stern
pretends not to know what it is.
Hear those thundering hooves, Sirius? That's terrestrial radio,
reinvented, repackaged, and gaining on you.
