Dark Matter 11/7 - Art Bell.....

His idea is so incredibly unlikely as to be just silly.

Look at the numbers. I'm going to be very conservative and suggest that he brought only 2000 paid streaming subscribers (forget how many more he brought who may have bought a radio).

2000 subscribers X $15/month = #30,000 or $360,000 per year

I think those numbers are pretty conservative. That's how much they'd likely lose if Art began giving away the product. I suspect the actual numbers are substantially more and that's not even including advertising revenue. Why in the world would they ever agree to this? It's probably more like at least $500,000 per to lose........with no potential for growth since there'd be no reason for the average consumer to upgrade to the paid package.

So Art is suggesting Sirius forgoes hundreds of thousands of dollars and ignore most ad revenue so that he can have fewer truckers on the line?

It's a silly idea.

Goodbye Art...we surely won't see you for a couple more years.
