Howard Stern and E?
Does anyone know why E is ending taping the Stern show so early? Why not ride it out until the end of the year.
I take it that means they're not going to tape him on Satelite either? |
Isn't Stern moving to Spike?
|
will they show re-runs?
|
I know the contract was up with E!, and I read a few weeks ago that he was shopping around for another TV outlet, but I don't know what happened with it.
|
The contract was up is all, nothing ended early with E. He already has another deal made but isnt talking about it yet.

I think I just soiled myself. rotfl |
He always says it's the highest rated show on E!
Surely they would renew it... |
Can somebody explain the backstory of the Tell 'em Fred joke? Everybody seems to make that comment in every Howard Stern thread. I'm assuming it's from Opie and Anthony and they're making fun of Howard since he always claims to be the innovator of everything. Is Fred referring to Fred Norris?
|
Hes the top FOUR rated shows on E, not just top show. O and A wish they had one third the talent of stern. What do you expect.

It is funny, though, in any Stern thread there's obligitory O&A posts. We all know who the true KOAM is. :)
|
Hehe yep we do, The person with the 500 million dollar contract. I will say I get annoyed with sterns inability to get video games lol. But theres really no denying what stern did for radio. If even heard O and A say the same thing within the last few months. About how yeah stern was great blah blah blah but its all FCC this and FCC that...well whats it gonna be in 5 months. Those poor bastards are probably shitting themselves with sterns move to Sat. Cmon you know they are....
I dont know what Aphex is WTF'ing about lol...its not like E is a real network for gods sake. |

For years now, I've been saying that would be a match made in heaven....... |
:shrugs: I thought that's what someone said here..
Could be wrong. |
What kind of ratings does Stern still pull in? Do many still watch him anymore?
(I used to, but the "everyone is trying to keep me down" bit got boring a few years ago) |

the show aired 11:00 + 11:30, and 2:00 + 2:30 a.m.
so I guess those were the four highest rated slots for E! Without Stern, E! has less watchable stuff than PAX. |
The Post today had an article on stern where they said his E! show was dropped suddenly. Sounds like there's more to that story than is readily apparent.

Today Stern said he will be announcing news about the NEW TV show on Monday.

He hasn't been funny or entertaining in the last 5 years... Just keeps regurgitating old bits...

I assume this is legit information.
http://www.tvbarn.com/archives/030264.php On Demand to carry Howard Stern Posted by Aaron Barnhart July 29, 2005 02:10 PM CT TV Barn's got the scoop on Howie's SVOD plans. The rumors that Howard Stern will bring the TV version of his syndicated radio show to pay TV - mirroring his decision to jump from broadcast radio to Sirius satellite radio in 2006 - are true. Here's what we know so far, according to an excellent source. Next week Stern will announce he has entered into an agreement with In Demand Networks, which currently supplies its On Demand SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) services to millions through their digital cable boxes. On Demand will have exclusive rights to Stern's Sirius show under a multi-year deal. It'll also have the rights to tap into everything Stern owns, which presumably includes tapes of his old E! and syndicated TV shows. E! announced recently it was discontinuing "The Howard Stern Show," and a deal with Spike TV fizzled. TelevisionWeek had the first report on Stern's desire to move to SVOD. Frankly, going pay all the way makes loads more sense. After all, Stern is going to satellite radio, where he will be able to say and do just about anything. It was a struggle enough for E! for edit his existing show down to an acceptable form; imagine what will happen when the censor goes away. Painful as it may be for him to lose both of his high-profile platforms, he's better off in the long haul making a clean break now. And it means Howard will have a second revenue stream to go with his Sirius income. Plus, consider this: Maybe he will have 1 or 2 million listeners when he signs onto Sirius. But on the TV side he will have as many potential viewers of his program as there are digital cable boxes carrying On Demand. Somewhere between 40 to 50 percent of cable customers have them now. That's a base of at least 50 million households. Even if only a small fraction buy, at least they won't need a Sirius receiver to get their Howie fix. And of course, they'll get something satellite radio listeners won't: unpixellated boobs. Howard has been talking up "On Demand" programming if you've listened closely to his show recently. This should really limit the audience. I have DirecTV and as far as I know, have no way to access "On Demand" programming. And just for the hell of it, Pat Battle. |

Ahhh...a brother in arms...interesting ANYWHO...Im the first to give the thumbs up to anyone trying to make money, but after a $500,000,000 Sirius contract, does he really need the fucking money? Listen, I hate Stern, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but throw your fans a fucking bone now and again, huh? $12 for Sirius (now, no telling what his contract will cause the price to rise to) and now money for the show? BTW, that article states he'll have 1 to 2 million listeners...since Sirius only has 2.1 mill subscribers, I doubt 2 million recievers will be tuned in to Stern for his 180 days of broadcasting. HEY! Maybe thats how Sirius is going to save money...shut off all other programming while he's on! |

I usually lurk over at wackbag and see that you post over there, I remembered your username from here, :lol:. I'm a long time Stern fan but also enjoy O/A. I was thinking about replacing some words in the article with pat battle. Anyway, I am curious how much this is going to cost and how often shows will be available. My only experience with "On Demand" was when I had cable a couple years ago and watched HBO programming on demand. Is this essentially like Pay Per View? |

As for the VOD, maybe Stern sees an area that is untapped and has potential outside of just money for him. Sure, it's a money decision, but I don't necessarily see it as alienation of fans. As for the subscriber base for Sirius, it'll jump up in December and January. Expect to see over a million in growth in that short period of time. |
I don't understand why people play up this money angle. What? Do they think if Stern signed the tv rights over to cable network outlet, he'd be doing it for free? :lol:
I'll reserve judgment on this move when I see what you get for the money. Like I said in the other thread, with the popularity of DVRs and the ability to zap commercials, VOD is probably the wave of the future, so expect to see more of this. As for $13/mo for SIRIUS, it is well worth it, and that is w/o Stern. |

Stern's hard-core fans with bucks to spend will be the big winners in this, but the casual fans will drift away and he won't be creating very many new fans any more living solely in a PPV world. The novelty of hearing Howard curse and show boobs will wear off quickly enough. Any movie channel is loaded with that sort of thing already. He better have something more than that up his sleeve to convince people to pay for something they got for free for many, many years. |
well, i'm sure Sirius is upset at this. Instead of possibly getting new subscribers to their service, who happen to turn in to the TV show, like it and subscribe to Sirius. I simply don't see it happening if they have to pay to watch as well as listen.
