I'm with you on that. I would guess that's what Bubba wants too.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. As much as I love the old show, we need to face the reality of today. We're going to get the terrestrial show and either like it or find something else.
I was really disappointed in what I heard yesterday. First, it wasn't the show that I've grown to love. Two, it was a rehash stuff that I've heard so many times already that I found myself tuning out. Although I can understand the getting up to speed aspects of the new listeners and all, it just isn't my cup of tea. Third, the replay aspect of the show kills some of the freshness, and in my opinion the fan interaction with the show (either real or perceived).
What I would of like to see happen if this was the only reasonable choice:
1. Put bubba on another channel. We can't realistically expect Howard, Sirius, Tim, or whoever else is getting the blame this hour to juggle the entire lineup because it isn't convenient for Bubba.
2. Play the show in Realtime. I understand that due to commercials, and other aspects some things will not sync up perfectly. but with creative delays, some music beds, intros, etc it shouldn't be all that hard to work out. After all it is done every day with out syndicated programming that is aired. This would also help in keeping the Sirius peeps involved with the show.
3. Maybe do an O&A type "gimmick" and provide an hour or so additional content to the Sirius folks in an uncensored format on a daily basis, instead of a once a week on Friday. Waiting a whole week to hear uncensored Bubba content is just a little to much.
I've listened to the show today... and while still different from what I'm use to, and a touching a little more then usual on the local aspects of the show, it hasn't been all that bad. Maybe it will grow on me even more, and keep me tuned in, time will tell I guess.
