When he works hard enough to get an entire channel to program, maybe he will make whole channel money. It's like a linebacker asking for quarterback money. Not going to happen.
Everyone is jumping the gun a bit on this one. Did you all ever think this is what Bubba wanted for now?? He is under contract with terrestrial radio to do those shows. His contract with Sirius was negotiable at the time. He wants to spend more time with his family. He obviously gets paid for the rebroadcast, so he is making money (maybe not the same) while working less. Not everyone lives in his listening audience for terrestrial. Now his fans can listen to a show, as opposed to nothing at all. Would it be a better listening experience for fans if he left Sirius altogether?
People really need to get a grip. Let the man speak on Friday and see what comes out of it. Geez. What a bunch of children.
