So I lost my base. My show is based on call in, if all I am left with is Truck drivers with cell phones going down the road at 70 MPH, well you get the idea. So I asked Sirius to allow free streaming for a Year until they could fix their problems and they said no. The show was simply not viable under these conditions.

I was pretty sure last Thursday, when he announced he was going to ask Sirius if they'd allow him to stream his show on his website, that he was going to get a no. He's supposedly going to try to do something on his website, still, but I'll believe it when I see it. There's some conjecture that he's been having trouble booking guests, and wasn't really much of a threat to C2C, and that that's partly behind this too, but who knows.

I didn't realize how much I missed him on the air until he came back. He's so much better than George Noory, it's not even funny. I can't even listen to C2C right now unless it's one of George Knapp's weekend nights.
