I've decided what my future is. It's not this kind of radio anymore, ... bring my fans my show, my way.
Putting together this morning radio network was the greatest pride of my life, ... When they said I couldn't do it, I said 'You're all insane.' How do you not challenge the future? How do you not challenge this industry? I can't imagine why you would want to do it.
tends to not like to do his radio show in front of people.
Sirius Satellite Radio is where the excitement, creativity and energy that FM once had is gravitating to, today and tomorrow,
Because of you, I had clout. Because you gave me the ratings, I was able to go into every general manager's office and tell him to F off. It was a great run. We broke every rule known to radio and mankind.
The radio division at CBS is in a shambles.
Regardless of how much money I make, this product costs a lot of money to put on. I don't think it's asking too much to ask people to pay 43 cents a day (to listen to satellite radio for the $13 a month fee to subscribe to Sirius).
Our radio stations are scared, ... I mean, it's hard for them, they're in it alone. I'm telling you, and if you enjoy the show, you must go out and support our sponsors.
It has been my dream to have the top-rated show in radio since I was five years old. SIRIUS - the future of radio - will take this dream to a whole new level as I bring my fans my show my way. It will be the best radio they will ever hear.
I never went into radio for money. I always figured if I could make $250 a week, I'd be happy in radio.
There are things that I won't do on the radio. I mean, the next logical question is, what won't you do. I say, well, you know, you've got to find out when you're on the air.
I've never come into anything successful before. I've always been hired by horrible radio stations with horrendous reputations and nothing to lose.
Every time I went on the radio, I would take the crummiest radio station, the station that was like a toilet bowl. I would go on there and build up the ratings, so you couldn't do any worse.
And rather than hide that, I would rather put that out on the radio and let someone see the full range of emotions. If you're going to be strong on the radio, you got to let it all out, even the ugly stuff. And you can't apologize for it.
