The word I am hearing is they will shut down howard 101 and move Scott Forell to the MadDog Sports channel.
Looks like Bubba's army gave Tim Sabian a bunch of crap (rightfully so). Tim is now returning calls back to everyone saying that they are working to keep bubba on. With that said this came out this morning that bubba signed a new deal for a year.
☆ Bubba the Love Sponge Contract gets Renewed on Sirius for Another Year Sunday 7th of December 2008
Hopefully this pans out and is true, because love him or hate him, he did have quite a following. I personally enjoyed the radio entertainment that bubba did put out, and he did tell it like it was on his last show. It was kind of messed up about bubba's sirus dump button being longer than his terrestrial radio's dump button. If this does pan out, I look forward to hearing bubba uncensored again!
Opie and Anthony would be a logical choice to replace Bubba especially given the merger, but since those two spend 95% of the time analyzing and going off on Stern's show, they'll never end up on 101. It's a shame because they do some good original material and Jim Norton is great, but attacking the #1 draw to satellite radio doesn't bode well for your future on satellite radio. Bubba used to trash Stern, but when it came down to going to Sirius, he apologized, sucked it up, and came over.
Sorry to all but I joined sat radio for the music and not for one or two individual personalities.
