CBS running Howie Commercial

[XMScott]

Howard Stern is being heard once again on regular radio airwaves - only this time he's promoting Sirius XM Radio Inc. in a 90-second ad spot.
"Hey. This is Howard Stern. I know you thought you'd never hear me again on regular radio, but I haven't forgotten about you, and I hope you will join me over here at Sirius XM..." says Stern in the radio commercial.

According to Taylor on Radio-Info, at least some CBS-owned stations have accepted the ad and are running them. Ironic? Using terrestrial radio to promote satellite radio, despite any bad blood or lawsuits.

"I'm finally uncensored, nobody bleeps me here," adds Stern. "The show has never been better."

Assholes

CBS shouldn't be turning its nose up at any advertising dollars. And fuck Howie for not trying harder. The "savior" of satellite should be out hawking Sirius XM on every show that he claims is begging for an appearance. Sirius paid him for his brand, not his shitty show. Get out and earn your keep, you lazy Jew.

[Redding]

I dont understand radio....for the last couple years regular radio has done nothing but try and stop Satellite radio...now its promoting it.

How about you do promotion for your own shows

[LastDeadMouse]

Howard has been advertising satellite radio on terrestrial radio for years. See:

Assholes

Why because they are adversiting for Howard? Who cares...any Serius/XM subscriptions benefit O&A regardless of if they listen to them or not

[F'in Ponderous]

Not that I would expect him or SiriusXM to, but not a single fucking mention of O&A in the Howie read either. He even throws in a plug for Bubba being on his channel.

O&A are getting fucked every which way they turn. CBS is in the shitter, and they seemingly aren't getting support or compensation from SiriusXM. Not looking good...

They're fuckin' broke, and promo for their own shows is ad time used with no immediate payback. They can't wait for the future payoff that self-promotion will bring in if there is money to be made now.

[gleet]

All the radio stations should buy ad time on other stations. That way, everybody makes money!

[CousinDave]

Remember back in the WNEW days when O&A through a fit because XM commercials were running during their show.

"You're advertising the competition"

[EnwordLips]

seems dumb of cbs. But I guess its just desperation for cash on their part.

And this is more likely positive than negative for o&a. Fuck them on FM, only satellite would be better

[CaryMG]

Ahhhhh -- what fuckin' difference does it make ....

In the end -- somehow, someway -- any radio personality's gonna end up workin' for Uncle Melsie.

Yes, and if only satellite would just cut them a check for their services and on-air talent, I would agree. But they need CBS until Sirius starts showing them some cash...

Are you saying O&A are working Sirius for Free?

Or are you saying they are underpaid?

[Lil' Alex]

I heard the spot and it's the weakest most insincere read you've ever heard. He puts more enthusiasm into any random mattress spot than he did his 500 million dollar baby. One of his fellow chosen bosses should break his fuckin nose for putting out that shit.

[F'in Ponderous]

Are you saying O&A are working Sirius for Free?

Or are you saying they are underpaid?

Based on Opie's comments this morning on the SiriusXM side of the show, they aren't being paid (or haven't been paid recently). I think they also went a period of time without pay at SiriusXM just before their contract expired as well.

So yes, right now, I think they are doing a show for free.

[CaryMG]

I hope this isn't too off topic, but don't the bboys now & again mention how they were courted by Q104 -- a station, I think,
that has nothing whatsoever to do with that hooknosed sheeney bastard ?

Is that a viability for 'em ?

Might be off topic but I'd be curious about that as well. I think Q104 is owned by Clear Channel and not CBS, so it would also open the door for Clear Channel to syndicate them.

I just don't know if Q104 is interested in O&A anymore. Depending on how things work out at CBS, it might be something they have to explore.

[Earth2murf]

.Fucking Jew

[CaryMG]

I think Q104 is owned by Clear Channel ....


Yep yep -- that was my understanding as well.
That's good!

That part isn't good.

[RolfNetherlands]

Does someone have the audio of this spot? And can that someone upload it somewhere? ;)

[DonTheTrucker]

I've been hearing tons of Sirius XM commercials on 105.7 out of Baltimore and on 1210AM from Philly. Both CBS stations.

And the ads mention O&A as one of the shows offered.

Yeah, I think it was just the read from Stern that completely omits O&A. I know the other recent ads do include them, but Stern's read conveniently forgets them.

Breuer used to bitch about not getting paid for periods of time back in like 04. Thats nothing new

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Betcha Melvin collects his paycheck every payday, what a fucking overpaid CUNT.

[mascan42]

I dont understand radio....for the last couple years regular radio has done nothing but try and stop Satellite radio...now its promoting it.

Maybe Ken Stevens is back with CBS. Remember acoording to Ken, the idea is to take all the ad dollars you can get, no matter who it's from (see also the live read for an escort service in the WNEW days).

[Pearce]

Stupid druggie Ben Sparks worked for Sirius when O&A were off and talked about how he wouldn't get paid for months at a time as well.

[Mrwierd]

Wow, are you guys a bunch of whiney pussies.... Who gives a shit.. They all work for the same company. The FM experiment is almost over and Sirius will be the only game in town.

Who else would SIXM get to advertise satellite radio on CBS-terrestrial?? Oprah? ....You guy's are waaaaayy too consumed with Stern.. Let it go, his show has always been better. It has been proven over and over and over... :icon_wink
BUT, I still listen to the boys..

[Pearce]

Stern in his prime isn't even as good as O&A, don't be silly.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Can't say I blame howard for trying to make a buck but when you do it on the channel for your former/current rivals its a little shitty.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Stern in his prime isn't even as good as O&A, don't be silly.

In his prime all he ever did was naked girls bits and in his old age all he does is....naked girls bits. Has this guy ever had to be funny? Crack a joke, make an observation, throw some poker chips?

[JohnnyRed]

O&A always win in the end?

Yeah yeah, I went to see lil Jimmy's show for some info about coming back when the boys were fired from WNEW, I chanted it too when I cancelled my XM when they were suspended from ol XM.

But winning in the end? Tell me is that right after Hoo Hoo's advertisment pushing Jackie the hack Martling and Bubba plays on what is now O&A's home market?

I know they work for the same company but damn I never thought Id see the day.

Not good.

Agreed, It is a kick in the nuts. CBS must be in dire straits.

[LastDeadMouse]

It's true. After all, the most popular media has always been the best. Popularity = Quality :rolleyes:

[mikeybot]

Ugh. I really hate both companies at this point.

[deathtrip]

goddamnit Anthony needs to get paid. Who else is going to pay for his enormous water bills and for that new bazooka?

[cokelogic]

Stern in his prime isn't even as good as O&A, don't be silly.I very much agree with Pearce.

And I also agree with Redding. I know money is money, but this is the opposite of progress.

But I do wonder how I wold feel if it was an Sirius XM advert with O&A, on FM radio? I think I would be inconsistent and would support the commercial. Funny that.

[mikeybot]

I think it's more fact that it seems O&A always get shit on by whatever company the are working for at that particular time, and this just seems to be more of the same

[DonTheTrucker]

How old were you when Howard was in his prime? Listening to his old shows now doesn't work because everything he did has been done a million times since.

Humor is all relative, but most people agree that in his prime Howard was the best in the game. Now he's washed up and doesn't care about doing good radio.

Howard was at his best when he had Billy West and Jackie Martling writing for him.

[DonTheTrucker]

Howard was at his best when he had Billy West and Jackie Martling writing for him.

Yeah, when Jackie left the show really went down hill. He still had his moments, but there are shows like O&A building on what he did and making it more relevant. He's vital to the history of this format, but not important to it anymore.

Hell, the format is pretty dead anyway. No one listens to radio for "shocking" humor anymore. They can go to the internet and find anything they want now. Why wait for a show to bring it to you? Radio is a dead medium. It's not O&A's fault, and it's not because Howard left. It's technology that's killing both terrestrial and satellite radio.

yeah well we went to satellite to hear shocking radio , I knew this would happen

[Jerry1]

I remember when O&A on CBS radio was supposed to be advertising for satellite.

The FCC never should have allowed Sirius & XM to merge, they should have operated until they had to declare bankruptcy, then restructure and get out of the bad contracts with "talent" like Oprah & Martha Stewart, and renegotiated the sports contracts.

more control of the media
no other options

[Califalcon]

I heard the ad on 97.1 here is in SOCAL. It was not only angering but frustrating to here the cunt on the commerical name EVERY SINGLE program on XM and SIRUIS but the boys. I am also a fan of Howie and still think his show is entertaining and also think the OandA get the bad end of the stick from this company. OandA bring a relaxed fresheness to the game (which can use some structure sometimes...just sayin) but I feel bad for them (even though they make millions) for the dis the company has given them. Look, Howie was a huge REVENUE stream for FM, Mel acknowldeged it to OA, he has been pushed further and has been in this business far more years then our boys. That is the truth. I have been here in Cali (from Port Jeff, LOng Island) for 5 years...NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT O&A show expect..."those douches with the church scandal comments" Its not the boys...the show with Jimmy's off the cuff remarks are GOLD but its just the whole way the shows has been promoted or I dont even know why...anymore...

I dont know what would i do if I were in there position, on one end they are trying to push thier show to more people and on the other hand they have to worry about fucking censorship that HOwie does not get!!
