Why wasn't Saturday's show on XM?

[BIV]

Why didn't they run the show live? I feel so gyped. If O&A are involved it should be on 202.

[Tax Kuntz]

It was a Sirius sponsored event....no kidding

[BIV]

How the hell did that happen?

[Rob]

How the hell did that happen?
i'm sure they will talk about it today...

[BIV]

Norton is not the only guy Jackie is calling...nice!

[Ballbuster1]

Sisius was a major sponser. They made all the Foundry staff turn
their O&A shirts inside out.:icon_evil I still wore mine though, eff them!

[Fr. Dougal]

I loved how Op made sure to drop the "XM Satellite Radio" bomb as often as he could during the show.

[DoughBoy]

How the fuck does XM let the little doggy fund and take control of an event starring and NAMED AFTER their biggest 'NAMES'? God damn did they drop the ball again!

There has to be a reason, but it can't be a good one. :icon_evil

[jpc165]

that was really fucked up. i met a bunch of people there that were going to see breuer and really didn't know the how to get O&A still! this would have been a perfect time to hand out WOW stickers ,and shirts, and give away roadies, etc. XM is fucking retarded.

Sirius helped fund the entire NY Comedy festival, not just The Passion.

As much as we all like O&A they weren't considered the biggest thing in the festival or they would have been booked at Madison Square Garden.

Anyone besides me notice Breuer didn't push Sirius? I didn't really expect him to but by not doing it it seems to send a signal that he won't be re-upping with them.

Then why was the show dubbed "The passion of OnA"?
Wouldn't sirius have a say in that shit or did XM find a creative way to get sirius to promote thier shit?
Is Sirius doing better marketing and promotion for the bbboys than XM?

[EdC]

Squidlow I don't understand your question. XM wasn't mentioned in the title. O&A themselves said on the air that they were bitch slapped by the competition.

[robins_wallet]

ok i am really confused here >> please someone clear this up for me >> o&a work for xm we all know that..... bu the show on saturday at the hammerstein was a sirius sponsored event? how could o&a have allowed their names to be used with by the competition? this is quite a suprise to me. someone please explain

[Bill]

The show on Saturday was part of the "New York Comedy Festival". The Comedy Festival was partially sponsored by Sirius. They weren't sponsoring "The Passion of O&A" specifically. But since this show was under the banner of the Comedy Festival, Sirius was an indirect sponsor.

[Hoagie]

To put it simply, Sirius was a sponser of the NY Comedy Festival. The Passion of O & A show was one of a week or so of shows that made up the NY Comedy Festival. Sirius does not book the shows, someone else decided that O & A could host a show as a part of the Comedy Festival. But Sirius threw a fuckin' fit when the O & A staff was pushing XM at the Passion of O & A show, especially since Sirius was not allowed to advertise at the show either. I'm just gald we could completely piss off the head Sirius cunt and force that twat to stand in the cold gaurding the Mercedes that was on display outside because a WOW sticker had already been put on it.

I didn't get a chance to see the car why was it there?

[MrSquidlow]

Squidlow I don't understand your question. XM wasn't mentioned in the title. O&A themselves said on the air that they were bitch slapped by the competition.
My question was how did "OnA" being the shows title get past Sirius for an event they paid to sponser...
It doesn't have to say XM to be pro XM...

I guess the answer to my question was Sirius didn't have a big enough stake to control the individual events inside the realm of New York Comedy Festival.

I also wonder why I really didn't here anything as far as advertising for any event sponsers...

[Hoagie]

I didn't get a chance to see the car why was it there?Mercedes was also a sponsor.

Sirius didn't have a say on who was in what show, they were just one of a number of sponsors. There were others that planned and booked the shows for the Comedy Festival. (probably Clear Channel)

[DC Chick]

It was a Sirius sponsored event....no kiddingAs Stan Marsh would say: Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here.

[DoughBoy]

The boys said that the Sirius thing was 'very last minute' and that they didn't know about it. That being said...

XM fucked up and didn't come to bat for the boys... AGAIN. I hate to be one of the bandwagon jumpers that whine and bitch at everything, but this is getting out of control. I love the fact that they boys are back and that I get to hear them after 2 and half years of hell, but WHAT THE FUCK?

I understand that O&A might not have had the initial draw that they thought they were going to or subscriptions aren't that high, but how in the flying fuck are they supposed to get more people listening without ANY god damned advertising? I mean, for fuck sake, I'm a huge god-damned fan of the show and I can't even get a fucking WoW sticker.

I tried emailing XM last week to ask why they dont push the show more, I got an automated response that said I will hear back from someone within 24 hours. Its been over 4 days :rolleyes: XM doesnt care that much I guess

doesn't breuer work for sirius? he was one of the headlining comics.

They just don't like the tough questions. They always answered me quickly until a non-response when I asked them what was going to happen with O&A on streaming.
