Branded

It's no secret that the Beth Fan Page secretly revealed several years ago, that Sirius wanted Russell Brand to take the slot that is inhabited by Howard Stern, primarily post-merger with XM satellite radio, but no one could get Howard to leave because his buddy who wears women's dresses and wig, now identifying as female, gave Stern an ironclad contract that even Iron Man could not break.

As blogged about several times, Stern's Boss Jennifer Witz put the fritz on dozens of Stern's stunts and ideas to expand his channels and badgers her for a third channel devoted to music that will never happen. Howard's not on any other of the Sirius platforms, like their podcasts where Andy Cohen has another channel there as well as his Radio Andy channel with a music channel added to that.

Ever since the Covid Invasion of March 2020, everyone was sent home to work except an essential worker skeleton crew with Howard pedaling his Peloton at home trying to crowbar his way back to the Sirius studios once the invasion was curtailed. 

As blogged about, Boss Witz has Stern sequestered to his bargain basement radio bunker like the episode of Seinfeld called "The Voice" where the same thing happened to the character George Costanza. The company couldn't get him to leave so eventually his office was the basement with a telephone which is now Howard's existence hoping he will just quit when he won't.

Numbers don't lie and this is the reason Howard cannot break off from Sirius and start his own radio show or podcast because he can't even get two million subs to his show's channel, remembering, this is not Howard's PERSONAL channel, it is the SIRIUS Stern show channel and they even plug their app to see more clips from the Stern show with portions uploaded to the Stern show YouTube channel.

In comparison, the independent superstar Russell Brand owns his own YouTube channel bearing his name and simulcasts on other platforms like Rumble. It's not just a show owned by a specific company, it's his own brand that he has trademarked and licensed and all that. He has a few other channels as a part of his own company and notice he has almost SEVEN MILLION SUBS, and blows Stern's stale ship out of the water that's sinking faster than that flooded basement he sits in in the Hamptons.

Witz wishes she could acquire Russell's brand. As blogged about in the past,
Andy Cohen normally has a clock in full view when he interviews guests on his Sirius show.
Howard Stern will never have any clocks in view because his stale satellite radio 
show is rarely live and callers and guests have to be planned ahead of time
for broadcast in their allotted time.

The Show Goes On After Dumping Stern

NBC's "America's Got Talent" (AGT) is going strong once they dumped Howard Stern and the network begged Simon Cowell to take the reins and his company has expanded the franchise ever since. Simon and his gang of regulars including the famous Heidi Klum, who was present during the "Hindenburg Howard Years" on AGT, when Simon fired her for a season and then asked her back and she's been a regular on AGT each summer, including the special Fall edition of the AGT All-Stars show that's going on right now.

Heidi is in demand right now, but on 11-5-2022, she falls into bad lighting
at the 2022 LACMA Art+Film Gala presented by Gucci, in Los Angeles.

11-3-2022, Simon Cowell looks like he got one of Howard Stern's chin
implants as he walks the red carpet at the AGT All-Stars event
in Studio City.

Here's today's Stern show excerpts.
