Back when Imus and Stern tolerated each other, there is a great scene in “Private Parts” where Stern goes to say hello to the veteran Imus on Stern’s first day at the big network NY AM station (660 WNBC?) and Imus slams his door shut in Stern’s face…
For some reason I’m reminded of this scene….
Wouldn’t say I was a fan of his I never subscribed to Sirius xm but I would watch him occasionally on I think the defunct channel E! or something it was called. Probably more than 2 decades ago since I watched him.
Doing the math it looks like for every listener he had, SiriusXM was paying him pretty much all the money they were getting from 5 subscribers.
I don’t see how works financially long term. I guess there’s the power of inertia plus FOMO.
20 million .. to 125000 listeners …. his show was always content driven and was always cutting edge content … last time I heard him .. there was nothing of that razor’s edge content … was pretty mundane, slow and honestly … kind of boring.
I thought he was a jerk.
