Does Sirius XM finally value Bubba's show?

[Chob]

So taking yet another complaining caller and rehashing the Sirius contract talk. Bubba said that after years of being told his show wasn't that important, that the company has finally begun to realize the importance of the show.

I argue that if they valued the show, they wouldn't have put the guys in this position, would have found another slot for them, even if it was the FM show live, and not claimed poverty and immediately after the merger and signed a $3 million deal with Chris Russo. And Mel wouldn't have told him he'd fail.

The company did see a huge reaction on the phone lines regarding Bubba and probably panicked when they made the last minute deal. But I argue if it was valuable to them, it would be promoted more and aired live. I don't think Sirius XM has learned a damn thing.

Robotic call from Scott Greenstein aside, what do you all think? Does Sirius XM value the Bubba the Love Sponge show now?
