Sirius Radio Boots Playboy/Manwin
 

Hey Fabian look what I "made up" today...BITCH.

from http://www.mikesouth.com

I spent some time tracking down various rumors and whatnot regarding all of this and and this is what I have been able to verify through various sources inside Playboy
The best and longest running show on Playboy 102 (Sirus) was NightCalls. Manwin had taken charge of Playboy 102 and started their own station, Spice 103.
Manwin was having problems maintaining both stations, first Playboy wanted all porn stars moved off their station so Nightcalls was cancelled last July.
Manwin quickly tried to shift Nightcalls over to their station, 103. The program director that had been in place for 15 + years, Farrell Hirsh, was let go. ( Farrell is a great guy and I am happy to say he landed as head of all SIRIUS/XM programming and is bi-costal, LA & New York) At the same time Manwin spent a lot of money having the 7th floor of 2300 Empire St. In Burbank being totally blinged out into a Manwin/Playboy plus radio headquarters. No expense was spared.
In the last two months Jamie Battista who took over for Farrel Hirsch walked out. with several other producers. Manwin brought in Josh Cooperman from sales to run things. As you may have guessed Josh was way out of his league, a living example of the Peter Principle which states that every person will rise to their level of incompetence.

He fired almost all the night shows (all named for Manwin websites) Brooke Haven was let go as were Taylor Wayne, Kylie Ireland and Raylene. Glen and Mean Bitches Show was kept because THEY PAID Manwin for the time slot.

Josh made it clear that Manwin was branding the Radio Sex name and that the shows had better be “sex filled”.
When Jessica Bangkok made the mistake of putting Mister Marcus on the air and encouraging him to have sex with a guest the fallout a day later on this very site marked the beginning of the end. Initially Josh didn’t seem to care, in fact he had told Lisa Ann and Alana Evans to shut the fuck up and mind their own business when Lisa started complaining. Subsequently Debi Diamond and Nicki Hunter were told they were found to be having sexual contact with guests, which is what, according to Josh, they liked.

Word is all the released show hosts are now going to do watchable live shows and podcasts that they will all own.
This being the big plan Josh has for the Playboy shows, but they don’t pay until sponsors are in place, they want everyone to do it for free.

Sirius has not been happy with Manwin’s running of 102 & 103, Fabians tax issues as well as the Mister Marcus issue have tainted the Playboy Brand, Playboy is not happy at all, and all though there is a contract in place between Playboy & Manwin, Sirius has decided to CANCEL Playboy channel 102, it will go dark Friday morning.

Sirius is also trying to end Manwins 103 contract, it expires in October. Sirius is fed up with Manwin, Playboy is fed up with Manwin, seems everyone is seeing Manwin for what they are now.

Now Manwin is saying that they were too hot for Sirius but you can bet your ass it’s the shady shit that got Manwin tossed off the air.

Ever since Sirius merged with XM the lawyers instituted a strict no penetration and no exchange of bodily fluids rule to all of the radio shows. They used to have penetration sex acts on the Opie and Anthony Show all the time when they were still on XM, but as soon as Sirius took over the lawyers outlawed it...

My advice - Fabian should buy a smoking jacket and a pipe... :playboy

Since Nathan (Fabian) broke his silence on GFY the other day, I am sure he will be in here shortly to clarify this latest fiasco in a series of PR disasters for Manwin.

C'mon Mike, performing actual investigative journalism might get in the way of collecting ad revenue... :2 cents:

Interesting spin on "our show was cancelled". :upsidedow

Hef, er...I mean, Fabian, must have spent a bundle developing the brand new Playboy Radio site:

What an innovator - prolly just how Hef would have done it... :error :playboy

Ya it was - the early years especially.

That is an embarassment for the entire porn industry, getting booted off a huge mainstream platform is just sad. Fabian can't spin it any other way than as a colossal fuckup.

I don't want to be Conspiracy Guy but shit like this may force Playboy's hand and let Manwin buy their way out of the Playboy deal the Wall Street Journal reported Manwin was anxious to renegotiate. Tarnishing Playboy's brand could be seen as a tactic. One thing I know is Playboy doesn't want those websites and tv channels dumped in their lap but at what cost to their brand, which is all Playboy really has.

Aww come on dont yall know that according to Fabian I make this shit up?

Hell Im so good at it when Sirius / XM reads it on my blog they do a press release LOL

The name Fabian Thylmann is becoming synonymous with embarrassing porn industry revelations...

What is more disturbing is that given Fabian Thylmann's demonstrated lack of ethics when it comes to content piracy, imagine what he is going to be like as the Captain of a sinking ship? (cough, cough, DeLorean, cough).

Remember, as Fabian was touting the window-dressing PR changes to the blatant piracy on his tubesites, he was simultaneously supporting the Pirate Bay via advertisements - until this too was exposed. One can only imagine what kind of crazy shit he is going to do as his empire continues to crumble under the weight of more investigations, scandals, incompetence, poor management, etc.

:thumbsup - I heard its hide the pickle day at Manwin. Prep for the years ahead.

Is Mr. Fabian going to be present?

Mike South, you are an idiot.

I don't know who's fault it is, but channel 102 wasn't terribly interesting anyway. I tried a few times but..nah, not for me.

Instructing. Experienced.

I am not astounded by the breadth and depth of your intellect. It is exactly as I expected it to be.

you got the link?

Interesting.

The bigger they are the harder they fall.

Damn, Farrel put me on PB radio when they first launched on Sirius in 2005 as their toy review girl, sad to see they got the boot. RIP PB Radio (but thanks for my talking rabbit. lol)

I think he's great! When I want industry news I go to mikesouth.com. When I want PR releases for the bros and by the bros I go to the other guys.

That said I almost feel sorry for Fabian. Despite being the tube owner many of us love to hate I think he might be a decent guy underneath it all. Maybe I'm just too nice of a guy. I wish he would have turned around Manwin more as a legitimate player two years ago but if he truly is at the top of the company as he says then it's still not too late do it.

nicely done, Mr. South.

also very funny about the 'not so surprising' response :) :winkwink:

Thanks Richard...as I noted if I dont do it who will? but dont get me wrong...I love this job...the pay is shit but the satisfaction with the results is high ;)

That's fine I just cancelled my subs from Sirius, they were freaked out I wouldn't even take the "please stay" deals offered. Pointless company now that me and everyone else I know just streams pandora, spotify, and podcasts.

ahh pay is just the nice pat on the back in the end
