Hi nbirnes, you are so right about content. Like a lot of corporations today, I don't think Sirius is being run by folks with any radio experience. There seems to be a corporate trend today to turn over day to day operations to marketing people with little to no knowledge, experience, or passion for their product. Case in point: Art leaves and immediately SiriusXM replaces him with the woefully inferior C2C, as if they are interchangeable! That's like a car salesman telling you he's out of Cadillacs, but for the same price you can have this broken down Buick!!
Yes, they just see them as interchangeable parts. Cadillac, crapped-out Buick Hey, they're both cars! No problem here. Roll that baby on in here.
I'm sure when PremRat took over C2C and needed somebody in addition to Art, they just thought "hey we've got some kind of goofy radio show about crazy crap. We'll just stick an el-cheapo host into the slot and have him pretend he's semi-interested. He can play the same music bumpers and have the same guests, with lots of commercials. Having paying sponsors is all we're interested in anyway. That's the ticket."
