He is considering doing a show live but streaming from his website. Now I don't know how long this will take but that is the info I'm getting.

I personally feel that Art has killed his career and pissed off his once loyal fanbase.

No, but he should. He doesn't realize you can make a good living, maybe even better than what sirius offered him. He needs a few successful marketing teams to pitch him.HB3 wrote: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Would he really want to do all that? How would that be competing w/ Noory on his own terms?

Yeah, I empathize w/ all those comments. I can understand how people feel.
definitely. I am pissed at the 2 month's worth of subscription I did. I almost bought a radio too... I think Kaz said he did.HB3 wrote: How much did people spend? I bet for some, it was a significant amount.

I agree with Fan. Art should seriously consider a podcast if he wants to try and move forward. It needs to be new - new topics, new experts, relevant subject matter. For instance, I'd like to hear him interview Elon Musk about some of the more edgy/sci-fi ideas Musk is batting around and even building, such as Mars colonies, the Hyperloop, and reusable rockets. Autodesk just published the next batch of studies for the Hyperloop, using automated machines to weave the tubes out of carbon fiber. Fascinating stuff - every bit as interesting as the old Kaku shows. Art should look at what Leo LaPorte does with Twit (as a revenue model), minus the $120k drupal site.
This thing was doomed to fail on subscription satellite. And for my money, Art hasn't been 'all in' for nearly 20 years. In fact, I think if we could catch a glimpse of his true motivations for doing the old radio show, we'd be shocked.
For if it profit, none dare call it Treason.
There are other options, and I still think terrestrial radio would be a grab for him. He needs to return to his roots where he and a small core of people made the decisions. Signing with a big company is really a pact with the devil.

I emailed Art and he replied:

I feel this will become a copy and paste deal used by Art for damage control.
I was right. He is now using this email for damage control.
