Hello to all our listeners,
Thank you for waiting so patiently thru all the best of's. We are still in negotiations with Sirius XM and miss our live shows. So much happening with Lost, American Idol and The Bachelor...
Thank god bikini girl didn't make it thru, do you like the new set up for the final 12? They are only taking the top 3 and then going back for wild cards? Confusing?? Molly thinks this season of Lost is boring, things need to start happening...lil cheesy for Molly! How great is The Bachelor? How about that episode with Naomi with the bird. Christine is not sure how she feels about Molly and Melissa being in the bottom 2 but we shall see because next week DeAnna returns...
Keep checking the website for updates, whether it is blogs or a pod cast on where are they now. Hang in there with us! We miss our listeners and Molly even misses the peanut gallery!!!
XOXOOXOX
The Broads
What are the broads doing right now:

Molly wishes she could drink wine but instead is eating Christine's turkey Chili and complaining about her stomach being bloated!!!

Just discovered the Broads a couple of weeks ago. I'm a 41 year-old mom of two who lives in Memphis, TN and who find the Broads so fun to listen to!
Yippee for Broads!

Why aren't your broadcast "re-cast" to run a second time? Since you're only on once during the day, I never get to hear you..work, schmerk.
Hey were are you guys, I keep hearing the best of, I thought I heard you Christine say that her and Molly smelled smoke?? did something happen?
Colorado listner
I think the Broads are still in contract negotiations with Sirius XM. I heard they are going to once a week. I'm sure they would have loved to be talking about Christian Bale right now.
I heard that too so hopefully they'll be back soon. Come back Molly and Christine!!! We miss you!!!
I'm glad that I started making my own "best of" on my tape recorder. I figured I would do that just-in-case somehting happened. I wish I started doing this a few years ago.
What the heck is up with the missing Broads...Hey XM executives... I am one of THOSE listeners that will cancel two XM accounts if the Broads are cancelled. Dr. Laura SUX who wants to listen to that Bit@h for hours on end...not me.
Well, I guess the Broads still aren't back. I just read that Sirius is one of the companies that my not back it past 2009. Well, at least I can listen to salad days best of's :o)
Well, repeats are still playing, but XM has taken them off the list of hosts for their channel. So it doesn't look good. Broads - can you please tell us what's going on??? We're dying without you!!!
XM will not make it past 2009 if they get rid of the Broads.
Where are the broads? I need to hear a more current show. I miss hearing their take on things!!
Executives at XM where are the Broads??
Broads please speak and tell your fans via this website what is going on??????????
I was pissed at the fact there were no more repeats, as i work nights and connot here the live show. I was going to cancel my subcription to XM but instead went and bought a Skyfi3 so i could record the show. Now I am reading they might not be back. Not happy XM! If the Broads are not back on a daily bases I will cancel this time for sure, 2 subcriptions. What the hell is going on!
Dean
PS: XM exec's. If I wanted Sirius programming I would have bought a Sirius radio. Broadminded is the reason I started a subscription in the first place.
Missing you Broads!Hope your back soon...
I just wish someone would tell us if you guys are coming back or not!
If not I have to cancel my xm subscription! (4) by the way
If your trying to save money get rid of Dr. Laura and bring back the Broads!! And Jason!
Broadminded is one of the only original programs you have...Seriously, Dr. Laura and Barbara Walters are OLD and tired..nothing current about those two old ladies. If I wanted to listen to those two, I would watch FREE tv and listen to FREE AM radio.
Caroline
So Cal
I miss the broads too! I KNEW this merge was a HUGE mistake! I loved the old XM. If its not broken why try to fix it??? I am so mad and what sux is that we cannot control it. If I wanted Sirius I would have gotten it! We did not ask for this. They are going to lose listeners! I listen to the music too and have some great songs recorded BUT I NEED BROADMINDED!! I THINK THEY DESERVE THEIR OWN CHANNEL. IF THEY CANCEL THE BROADS THEY WILL REGRET IT. A AVID LISTENER SINCE 2005.
I really wish Siriusxm would bring back the Broads or at least tell us what is going on. I listen to the Broads everyday while at work and they continually make me laugh. The Dr. Laura show is just depressing and I get a headache if I listen to her as she wines. Please bring back the broads.
I hate not knowing what The Broads are thinking about current events. What a loss!! I'm sure the decision-makers are a bunch of grown up frat guys in suits with business degrees who know nothing about what listeners want. (nothing against frat dudes or business guys who are fans...you know what I mean).
What is going on?? I LOVE BROADMINDED! I had a bad feeling when I heard the "best of..." again. Please bring Christine and Molly back!!
Christine and Molly, please let us know what is going on with you if you are not able to come back. We love you!
Fan of broadminded since 2006.
Pam
I want the holes and the poles back if been a long time lisener and that why I renewed my subcribtion iv been lisening sense summer of 2006 I love the best of broadmined but I want to hear the new gossip or a least tell us were you (sirusxm) have place them
People...this is bigger than programming...xmsirus is preparing for bankruptcy filing...Hey Broads...best wishes!!! We will miss you...you holes got me through my workout everyday. Check out the link.....

I hope Howard Stern is happy. Because of his $100 mil a year, a lot of people are going to be out of work. He should be like the soap stars and take a pay cut so people can keep their jobs. I'm sure the exec's at Sirius will be taken care of with millions.
Talk about recycled "d" . . . these best of's
I miss the broads. I have been listening to them for two years. I love their take on things and their recap on IDOL. I miss them. I will cancel my XM, it is one of the only channels and programs that I listen to. XMSirrius need to get thier act together and put together programming that people listen to and is different from the same old thing on radio. I can't listen to one minute of Dr. Laura.
I miss the broads desperately...
they are my main reason to have XM.
Please tell the fans what we can do to keep this show on and instead cut out some of the other useless shows...
I'm close to just canceling even if XM doesn't cancel the Broads. This is rude to the fans to not let them know what is going on. We are the ones that are paying them.
I agree. If they are not back on Monday 16th, LIVE. I am cancelling my two accounts. Broads let us know what is up. I dont' have Facebook to find out what is going on. I just went on XM website and looked at the host bios and The Broads are not listed. Give me a break...Dee Snider and Dr. Laura on the same channel...WTF??? That channel looks like a snore fest...All the new host are a bunch of NYC old people....YAWN.
I can't believe this! It was enough that they took the evening replay away, but if they get rid of you guys altogether, I'm going to be pissed!!! Sirius sucks, I want my xm back.
If anyone hears any news on the future of Broadminded, please post here. I'm canceling at least one XM subscription if the Broads go!
what a joke they want a loyal following but they dont want to be loyal host an say whats going on. in the end they were just inconsiderate broads
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS ???
I just updated my car radio, spent major $$ and my favorite show is ??
Please come back -- XM aint worth squat without ya'll --- I will cancel !!
So much for the power of paid radio! I knew it would suck when these two "merged" and Sirius "took over" XM. Now they don't even have the common courtesy to let the "old XM" listens know what is going on with their favorite show?? What a bunch of BS! Come on XM "former execs", reach down and grab a pair and stand up for the folks who matter-and it ain't the AS* your kissin' at Sirius!! Where the H*** are our Broads!!
I agree....Christine & Molly...what is heack is up with your show. I love you guys, but these repeats are bogus. I want to hear your opinions about Octo-mommy, AI and all the random stuff you guys talk about.
I have email XM but they just email back the form letter that doesn't answer my question.
Lindaq
Were are you Broads???????????????? I wanr my XM BACK WHAT IS GOING ON ARE THEY OFF THE AIR?????
DON'T WANT RERUNS MAke DRIVING OVER THE ROAD ALOT BETTER. please return.
We want the Broads! We want the Broads! We want the Broads!......
Ugh. Dr Laura would make me want to hang my self in a gas oven driving off a cliff after an overdose of xanax with a muzzle in my mouth. Bring back the Broads! They make me laugh and feel all light and fluffy!
What is going on....Need the broads and Jason back. My day isn't the same. I can't even watch IDOL. It would be a shame to have to cancel my xm (all 5 of them).
This is bordering on just plain rude. I understand if there are negotiations or some other legal crap going on but could the producers or programmers or SOMEONE at least say what the hell is going on? At this point I'd take a "programming is being adjusted or contract negotiations are in progress" B.S. message, just so I know the Broads are alive and well. Although to be honest it is nice to hear Shari back on the really old re-runs! I miss her so much! For the love of God, please let us know what is happening to this show!!!!!
P.S. Sirius sucks and that's why I originally bought XM. What a joke. The jokes on me.
I listen everyday at work and can not handle anymore reruns. So many events have taken place that I want all your opinions on. Any info on when and if?? I miss the broads, Jason, and Patrick.
Enough with the reruns !
If we can't have the broads at least give the paying customers live xm/sirus radio.
Sirius is even messing with Oprah. The only other show I listened to, other than the Broads, was Jean Chatzky and they moved her hours around. She is now on during the Broads Mon. - Thur. and on Fri. on at 10:00 (central time). What a bunch of . . . .
The Broads need to get . . . .
BACK ON . . . .
I am tired of the re-reuns too. I am bored listening to just music all day! I want the broads back too. They need to let us know what is happening. The merge changed everything, it sucks.
Called XM Sirius yesterday to cancel my subscription, and got talked into keeping it for two more months. They told me that there would be a lot of scheduling changes in the next few months. No reassurance, of course, that Broadminded would be on the sched., so I may still cancel.
Doesn't anybody know somebody connected to the show who can tell us what's going on?

i called yesterday and talked to Pat and he said hopefully by the end of week they will know if the Broads are coming back. but he said its unsure in what compasity they will come back.. meaning prob lose an hour or not have as much fan contact(im assuming). he couldnt even tell me if they were coming back or not.. Pat did say that the Broads will put a message up when they know somthing

Dear Twinmom,
Took your advice and sent an email to the higher-ups you listed. Will let you know if they get back to me. XM customer service was less than helpful so we'll see what happens.
ok, i miss you terribly!! I hope this almost month of rebroadcasts does NOT mean you have left us. When will you return!!
I am with all of you. My XM has gone insane. Okay, cancel the repeat but to replace it with back to back same episodes of one hour shows???? Or 12 hours of Deepak Chopra. I respect a lot of the the new programs but don't screw over Broad listeners with less and less and expect us to renew a subscription only to hear the same stuff looping over and over.
Get your jobs done and get the Broads back - now!
please....
Ok I am so glad I found you guys - I have been looking high and low for fellow fans to tell me what is going on!
I NEED the Broads! It just occured to me today that whenever I try to listen I get "the best ofs" - no fun. I thought they were just taking a long vacation and that was it...but today was the last straw.
I couldn't find any current info on their myspace or website or on xm.com, so glad to see you guys here!
I have to listen to Cosmo radio now, as the only decent substitute, and decent is a lose term. UGH!
Oh, I WILL cancel if there is no broads. I have no problem with that.
Missing those girls. *Sigh, Sniffle Sniffle.*
Ok enough venting...
Ok. After venting above I wrote to all of the emails twinmom provided. THank you twinmom!
Has anybody called those numbers?
Hey Holes.
Tell us what to do or say or write or cancel to get you back. I cant stand it. I am a captive audience as a mail carrier and am getting bored with Lex and Terry. Boys. Sheesh. Tell US!!!!
Dear Broads,
I miss you so much, I am hardly making it through the week. I hope you will be back soon. How can I even watch television without you. I miss Sherry Sherry, Blill Glasser, Damian Holbrook, and Chelsey. When are you coming back??
Thanks for the update ... I sure hope you will be back soon! I miss hearing your great Idol updates! GOOD THOUGHTS with negotiations!!!
I wrote to every executive on the list...I hope everyone does the same. Thanks Fellow Fans!
Alright Hoes..
I consider myself Broadminded bekah- I discovered the program 2 years ago during my 4 hour communte to and from school-
first I was angry about the time switch now this? this is crap!!! Who's heads to I need to bang around? come on!!!
I wrote to the emails that someone posted on here, I also have 2 radios plus I listen online...
I swear if dr laura is on one more time.. AHHHHHHHH
ps- I think you need a brunette broad.. ;)
Broad Bekah
Thank you for the update, Broads. We miss you so. Fingers still crossed..but they're getting sore!
Molly and Christine, please any news yet? What more can we do to help out?
k broads, its time to get back to work and kick some of the higher up in the balls to let them know that the broads r the only thing worth listening to, tyis xm and sirius merger was crap i cancels sirius and nowthey r taking you all off please come back
ok twinmom. I sent the emails and they are being returned. email me mailman@tds.net. lets get this thing going. i need my broads. puuuuleeeez!!!!
Broads,
Screw XM/Sirius bankrupt deadbeat executives!!! You gals need to do a podcast. Check out Adam Carolla...he just got fired and for the time being, is doing free podcast. In just a few days, he became number one on itunes podcast downloads. Make your own way...why should corporate American become rich off your talent and hardwork. You don't need them..You can do this...you have the technology at your finger tips!!!
I miss the broads so much. I've been listening since pre preacher days and feel like we need to catchup. All the best and can't wait to hear you live on the radio again!
The ONLY reason that I have kept xm/sirius IS the BROADS!!! Dr.Laura.... PLEASE... She's a monster! I WILL CANCEL!
You're the BEST!
Love Kim
Mailman, my emails went through, although no one has responded. I have been emailing them twice a day, once at the beginning of the show and again at the end.
I agree maybe it's time for podcasts!
Vanessa
Where else can we get a completely bitchy and petty analysis of American Idol. You gotta come back Broads. You rule!
I'm miserable without the broads. Dr. Laura is so rude. I have also e-mailed execs. Miss you guys.
**OK - here is my response. Nothing special, but I was happy to receive at least one response from each of the emails I sent out. And yes, I am a huge Dr. Laura fan - NOT a fan of her taking some of Broads time tho.
Doesn't sound like they are very close to figuring it out??
***********************************
Dear Dori,
Thanks very much for expressing your support for Molly, Christine and BROADMINDED. I appreciate your taking the time to write.
I don’t yet have anything that I can tell you yet, because, as you know, we are in business discussions with Molly and Christine. We won’t be able to say anything publically until those discussions are concluded, but we’re all working to conclude them as fast as possible, and I did want to respond to your letter to at least tell you that.
Thanks again for putting a good word in for The Broads, and for Dr Laura too.
All the best, Jeremy

Hi guys! Miss your live shows. And Molly better start to like the peanut gallery! We are going nowhere!!
Hang in there from a big long time fan, Todd in NM
Good grief - I listen to u guys during my lunch and laugh sooo much. Hilarious gals that make you feel you know them forever. We miss you - and hopefully everything works out - Give the broads the millions they want dammit!
Vanessa B
I received word from Sirius finally today, Friday the 27th. They are still in negotitions, which is just ridiculous. Why are we paying a subscription price to hear four weeks of reruns? Does this mean next week will be week 5 of reruns?
Vanessa
By the way I got the same exact letter that Dori got minus the reference to Dr. Laura. So this appears to be a form letter they are now sending out.

We need the Broads Back, is this going to take long? We miss you Molly and Christine

Alright, Seriously It's getting old! I miss you Broads!!! I've listened to yall for almost 3 years straight everyday and I miss hearing your hilarious points of view on what all is going on... Please renew your contracts soon. I'll offer to start a petition for Sirius if they need to see all your fans who miss you live on satellite radio. Please come back!
Has anyone started a petition to get the broads back? Please let the rest of us know were we need to sign!! WE NEED OUR BROADS!!!!
Petition web site listed on Facebook....

I miss you Broads!!!
Sandy
You know the re-broadcast are old, when they are Sherrie is on the show. Hello executives, we are paying our hard earned cash for crap from 3 years ago.
Keep your fingers crossed we'll have something new as tomorrow is a new month. We got nothing new for the entire month of February. If nothing new comes on Monday, BOMBARD THEM AGAIN and DEMAND A FIRM DATE. As for me, I'm ready to turn my 3 radios off. I just paid for a month of nothing.
Thanks for the update. I've called XM and written emails with no response. I hope that all the contract crap can get ironed out and LIVE shows can start airing. I can't and wont listen to the best of's any longer.
Looking forward to new shows SOON!
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE bring back the Broads!
It is the main reason we keep our subscription. Will have to reconsider if the monthly budget wants to continue to put out for XM any longer. With MP3 players in our cars, we don't need the music channels like before. I believe that the secret to XM radio success is to keep shows like BROADMINDED scheduled!
You need to bring the broads back ASAP, I am tired of the same ol run of the mill radio you're playing there is more to satelite radio than Sports and News. How many of those channels are there get rid of one and bring back the broads EVERYDAY. Sports and News we can see on TV, XM had a good thing going and now it's all F@%#ed up. Take some of Howard Sterns money. How ridiculus!!!!
Oh Broads, we miss you so much!!! As much as we're suffering without you two, I'm sure you're suffering even more, not knowing what's going to happen. I'm so glad you posted an update, even though you don't have much to tell us yet. It's good to hear from you in whatever way we can! Good luck - all of your fans are pulling for you!
Christine and Molly,
F-Sirius/XM. With in two years all new cars will have internet, which means...satellite radio is DEAD. All media will be podcast.
I was so hopeful and excited hoping to hear you today and nope still some really old best of's. How are Jason and Patrick? Please update us on them too. Thanks! and I am keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrrow.
Sent an email yesterday to
Jeremy Coleman, SVP, Talk and Entertainment Programming, SIRIUS XM ...
jcoleman@siriusradio.com
and received an almost immediate reply.
Said they were still in talks with the Broads.
Please contact him...can not hurt.
Need to get our Broads back into our day!
God, I would've loved to have heard the broads reaction to that crazy Bachelor ending!!!
Please bring the Broads back!!! I need my Broads!!! Don't screw things up Sirius!! Do the right thing!!! We miss you guys terribly!!!

I joined the masses and sent my email to everyone on the list, too. I was polite, but really emphasized to them how popular the show is and how many people subscribe just to hear the Broads.
I know they are still in negotiations, but it can't hurt for them to realize how many fans this show has. My weekday afternoons are just not the same
and after all of this crazy stuff with idol and the bachelor - I keep wanting to hear how Christine and Molly would respond.
Maybe the podcast is the way to go. I would definitely download and listen to any podcast the Broads would do. I would even pay with the money I would save from my cancelled xm subscription. (he he)
I miss the broads too! I am so bored now, I listen to my iPod in the mornings instead of XM. I emailed them and said I would cancel soon if they didn't get something figured out. I am can Dr. Laura on regular radio.
...Carey
Oh my GOD! Everytime I get in the car I am hoping the broads are back live. Then I hear Sherries voice and I just know we are still in reruns. I thought I was the only one who felt this way. There is no show that they can put in that timeslot that anyone will listen to.
Lets get the word out and get that petition into the millions.
I checked out this link it seems legit .
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/thebroads/
From:
Dreamiah@aol.com
By the way how funny is it that the Bachelor chose a molly?
And we can't even talk anout it because of the f'n reruns!!!!!!!!!!
As of Tuesday March 3rd, Jeremy at Sirius is still giving the "negotiation" story. They are dotting their t's and i's and must make sure it's all correct, blah, blah, blah...........
Everyone continue to email each day demanding that they give us a time period when we can expect these "negotitations" to be over and our Broads back on the air!!!
Vanessa
Received today March 4th after my morning email:
Hi Vanessa,
I get what you are saying, but it would break every confidentiality rule of negotiations for me to discuss any intricacies or project time frames. As a business, we have strict procedures that govern when and how we can announce agreements. It kills me not to be able to tell you more details, but all I can do is ask for patience. Hang in there!
All the best, Jeremy
please come home broadies...hurry
Christine-Until they pay you guys...just test the waters and do a podcast. I don't even turn on my XM radio anymore. I just listen to my ipod. I am actually at the point of cancelling because I think it is rude of XM to have a month plus of reruns...that is just rude. Podcasting is the way of the future.
So Cal Lydia
I want the Broads back.
I want them to broadcast later in the day, like they did originally.
I'd like Shari back on the show, at least part-time. (She's a much better interviewer/listener than Molly. Sorry.)
And I do not want the Broads on the same channel as Dr. Laura. The broads belong on a raunchier channel at a raunchier time!
We miss you holes. Please, please, give us back our Broads!!!
I also called on Monday of this week and spoke with Teresa at 877-967-4672 x. 36619 but she wasn't much help either. She did give me a three month credit to my account and told me she was putting me in "the spreadsheet". As she explained it, that is where the programmers see who calls and why.
If the Broads don't come back, I will more than likely be canceling. What was a great station to listen to most of the day is now like listening to nails scarping a chalk board.
I HATE HATE HATE Dr. Laura, and the rest of the shows are all crap.
BRING BACK THE BROADS
I called to voice my complaint to XM the other day and was told that Take 5, the station that the Broads were originally on was not "owned" by XM.
Any station that broadcast a commercial, even those stupid 800 # products are owned by someone. Who that "someone" is no one could tell me.
My guess is the Broads are not necessarily negotiating with Sirius XM but with the "someone".
So. does it even matter if we call and email all?
THat 'someone' needs to kiss my behind.
I want the broads back. Did my emails just in case. I will absolutely cancel, besides the broads I really don't find anything else worth listening to. Bah.
I love/hate Dr. Laura, but I can listen to her online so that is no need to keep XM. Ugh. Why does everything good have to be taken over by everything that sucks?
Sirius sucks! All has gone downhill since Broads were taken off evening drive time. Time to toss the XM receiver out the window - LITERALLY!!!
Oh!! How I miss the Broads!! I will die if they go to once a week! My life has not been the same since they have been off the air. I would give anything to hear what they think of the Bachelor!
I miss them soooo much!! Bring them back NOW!!!
Give us a break!!! The "Best of" is no longer the best of anything!!! Please let this be the last day of these reruns!!!
Give us back our Broads!!!!
Well, I just received a reply back and it read the following:
We have received your email and we certainly understand your concern as it relates to the removal of Broadminded. Removal?
Keep up the emails and phone calls, it is working! Hopefully only one more week of reruns and the Broads will be back. Fan support is SO important we must keep the Broads on the air!!
Vanessa
I was told to write directly to channel 155 and let them know my concerns. I wrote: the Broads are the only show on 155 that makes me laugh and forget about these trying times! Also they are the only show I listen to on 155 except 11:00am hr. of the abc news.
The Broadminded show is no longer on 155 line up!!
Good Luck Broads! We miss you and all of your great guests and your funny banter!
Cindy and Rick in NC Say Hi to Sherri Sherri!!!!
OMG! Please come back. We NEED you out here! Truly, the on my day I laugh and forget all about all the negative news. PLease bring back The Broads!!
I have been an XM subscriber since july 2004. I have 4 radios. I will disconnect all 4 radios and tell everyone I know that "XM does not listen to its subscribers about programming issues" if you don't bring back The Broads. Yea, you can take it as a threat. Boycotting is my only option to make clear my discontent with the lack of Broadminded in the afternoon. Please put them back on the air!
Jeff / Richmond Va
Each day I turn on 155 at 12:00, hear the into for "best of" and turn it off. Who wants to listen to ancient shows??
This should be last week of reruns (keep your prayers going and your fingers crossed)so be patient.
I will not renew my subscription if the broads are cancelled. First you cancelled my favorite music channel and offer flight 26. (yuck!)now this. Forget it!!! I am done!
I sent my emails to everyone that twinmom said. I haven't gotten a response though. If the broads are gone I am too! I have been pissed since the merger screwed up al the channels that I liked and the music that I listened too. This really bites!!!!
here is my latest reply:
Dear Roxanna,
Thanks very much for expressing your support for Molly, Christine and BROADMINDED. I appreciate your taking the time to write.
I don’t yet have anything that I can tell you yet, because, as you know, we are in business discussions with Molly and Christine. We won’t be able to say anything publically until those discussions are concluded, but we’re all working to conclude them as fast as possible, and I did want to respond to your letter to at least tell you that.
Thanks again for putting a good word in for The Broads.
All the best, Jeremy
Give me a break...how complicated are these negoiations. I am canceling tomorrow. I am tired of waiting one more week....one more month. F-all of them XM, Sirius and the Broads...Ciao forever paid radio. You all are a bunch of suckers waiting thru 2 months of reruns............
who (anonymous at 1:54) is telling us this might be the last week of reruns. Show yourself are you legit or just someone screwing with us??? Probably someone from sirius wanting us to keep paying for nothing just so they can keep feeding us bullshit!
THIS SUCKS......
I received the exact same e-mail from Jeremy last week. I am waiting one more week before I cancel.
The new format on 155 totally sucks. I enjoy GMA but now that's it. Doctor Laura is so bad for women, Barbara Walters is so old and insignificant and who the hell is this Deepak guy? IAMS Pet hour? Give me a break.
Here's a suggestion for Sirius XM move the BROADS to the Cosmo station. At least they will be relevant there.
Sorry to say, I think we've lost our Broad's... I called the Broad's 800# to leave BITHCY message again, and there machine now say's Welcome to the "PULSE" and to leave a message for one of there DJ's.... I'm cancelling me subscription to Sirus..... you suck the BIG POLE......

I finally got 2 responses to the emails that I sent yesterday. I don't think that it's looking too good. Here's what I got:
From Zellner, Jon" Jon.Zellner@siriusxm.com
Sorry about the Broadminded show. We did have to make some difficult decisions about some of the shows on certain channels. Unfortunately, the audience on Take 5 was relatively low and some of the costs associated with that channel became tough to justify.
Thanks again for writing. Please direct any future programming comments directly to me.
Best,
Jon

All the best??? The best would be to put the Broads back on the air!!!!!!!!! Screw them and their bullshit stories!!!!!!
I think because of fan response they will be back on the air, maybe next week. I noticed today that they are repeating a much more recent show with just Molly and Christine, I think that's a good sign. Keep up the emails and prayers and keep your fingers crossed!
Vanessa
I hope so. This was a lot of work for the fans to be doing this sort of thing in times like this. The higher ups should already know what the fan base is like for all the shows and not make us frett over the threat of them cancelling Broadminded.
After the 2 responses that I received that were very contradictory (3 posts ago) I emailed Jeremy again to have him clear up the "confusion." This is the email I just received from him:
Sorry for the confusion, we have a lot going on. Our agreement is up with the Broads, we'd very much like to keep them if possible and are in negotiations for a new deal, and are running best-of shows while we negotiate. Fingers crossed for a good and quick resolution.
All the best, Jeremy
It's just more BS!!!
This blows...Sirius is just lying so they don't get a wave of people canceling their subscriptions. They are just leading the listeners on while they spirl into BK...
That's too bad. It sure doesn't look good. The Broads are by far the best thing on XM-Siris. I enjoy the music stations but the only talk worth listening to is Broadminded. I've been a listener since 2006.
Yes!!! Hurry up and come back! You are the only reason why I have XM in the first place!!! The POD Casts may be the way to go! I will download the only problem is that we will not be able to interact. Jason you are missed also!!
I just came across this blog and was happy to find it! I find it hard to believe that Sirius is still in negotiations with the Broads after all this time. PLEASE BRING THEM BACK.
Lynda
If Broadminded is suppose to be back next week, they should be able to announce something on Friday via the blog. I will be disappointed if they keep us holding on through the weekend with wondering thoughts.
Molly, Christine, Pat or Jason: please let your fans know what's going on with the show. We are at the end of our patience!
March 11, 2009 3:45 PM - I agree with you...
Oprah is refreshing her channel on 3/17, so maybe the Broads will be back on by them. This is getting beyond rude by all people involved.

Someone with more energy than me needs to write Ryan Seacrest and let him know how much good the broads did for his show. Ive been watching for years and without the commentary from the Broads, its lost its luster for me. Im rocking the "LOST" Netflix now. If you havent yet, you should.
Guy Allan(sp?)???!!!!! What is going on? Please everyone write and complain...we must have the Broads back!!!
I really miss the broads. i just discovered they cancelled the best comedy channel - national lampoons comedy radio. They played funny crank calls from different comedians, etc. I want the OLD XM BACK! The broads need their own channel. I LOVE music but I need other things to listen to as well. WHY did they merge??? I hate this. :(
Tina
XM Executives I am losing my patience waiting for the broads to come back. Please finish the negotiations and bring back my broads.
Put them back on! Don't let them go1 More entertaining than Cosmo. Get rid of that and DR Laura, keep GMA and the Broads!
Someone please announce if they come back...I don't even turn on my XM radio anymore.
THE BROADS ARE BACKKKKKKKKKKKK!
YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
YAY--I am so giddy I can't stand it!!!! Can't wait until Tuesday!
P.S. Christine, I totally agree about Juliet's back.
OMG, the Broads, et al will be back on the air on Tuesday!!!!!! Thanks be to Everything, no more daily harrassing emails to the Sirius gang!
Molly, please get back into Lost, you can't come back with this "attitude" about the show! I am pulling for Alexis and Chris on AI.
Whew, finally, finally, the Holes are back!
Vanessa
I hope you got a killer contract...you guys deserve it!!! Cheers!!!!!
Yeah, I have goosebumps. They said "most" of the regulars will be back and I don't think I heard Sports Broad Connie. I hope either I missed it or they forgot to mention her.
YEAH!!!! The Broads are back. Was so excited to hear you both back live today (although too short)! Can't wait till Tuesday to hear you again and I look forward to many great shows!!!!
Mandi in CT
Happy, happy news! Will the Broads be back same time, 5 days a week? Please post details! I was out and just turned on the radio and checked the site.
How did you find out they are coming back Tuesday? Where is a post on the website?
Hail to the Holes! I missed you guys. Glad you are coming back.
Jeff / Richmond, Va
They had a short show today. They said they would be back 12-2, 3 o'clock hour will be a repeat of the previous 12-2...The new shows start on Tuesday, plus they will be on Sirius now, and a repeat time at 8:00PM.
Thanks for the information, glad they are coming back! Yipee!
Tina
Well, looks like maybe all of our bitchin', whinin', complainin' and emailin' finally paid off!! I was beginning to think the idiots at XM/Sirius would never clue in to all of our threats/pleas/requests! Guess the "power of the peanut gallery" worked this time Molly! Sorry!! NOT!! You may learn to like us yet!! Can't wait for Tues!!
I heard them live today and felt like I could breath again!! I can't wait until Tuesday when they are back for good! I love you Broads!! Thank you for all you do and for fighting the good fight for the fans! YOU ROCK!!
WOOT!!! OMG I am so happy! THey better have gotten an awesome contract - hope they spill tomorrow!
I didn't catch their show yesterday, what did they have to say about the Hiatus???
We hope we am reading the last inputs correctly and the Broads are back on for good! The present line up on Take5 is painful to listen too. Keep GMA and the Broads and bag the rest! We want live Broads and then a repeat show later in the day so we all can hear them either once or twice. It is worth it.
Here's my email today from Jeremy:
Hello,
Forgive the mass letter but I wanted to update you on the Broads since you took the time to write us with your support for the show. If you missed it, Molly and Christine got on the air for a few minutes yesterday at the beginning of their show to announce that they will be returning with live shows on this coming Tuesday. They announced that their new arrangement is that they will be on every weekday, again starting at noon, live from 12-2pm Eastern Time with a showcase of favorite moments from 2-3pm and a brand new replay of the show weeknights from 8-10pm Eastern, for people who can’t hear them midday and would like to listen later in the day. And they announced that they’ll be added to the Sirius lineup as well as the XM lineup soon, doubling their potential audience. Between the new replay and the Sirius addition, they will soon be reaching many more of you, more conveniently than ever before. Please tune in on Tuesday if you can. Thanks again for your support of Molly and Christine!
All the best, Jeremy

So there you have it.. all of our phone calls and e-mails might have helped.
Two hours of the Broads is better then nothing!
I can not wait for Molly and Christine!
BTW, I did email Jeremy back and thank him. It was the least I could do since he did keep us all informed.
I'm so freekin happy right now, I think i'm gonna cry. Molly, Christine...will you marry me?
North Pole, Dean (Alberta,Canada)
I just finished emailing the Broads letting them know that I've missed them badly,and that I'm SOOoooo GLaDdddddd their BACK and REPEATS!!!!!! The miles will fly by again. No More Judith Regan over and over and over same show!
This is great news. Now if only we could get rid of that obnoxious Dr. Laura....
Such great news, I'm so excited to have the Broads back! Get rid of Dr. Laura and I'll really be happy!!
I'm not sure why there are so many comments slamming Dr. Laura. What does she have to do with the Broads getting their contract together? I'm not her biggest fan, but I don't think she had anything to do with us being stuck with "best of" for the last month and half.....
Dr. Laura sucks a$$. Why should we PAY to listen to her "holier than thou" crap on subscription radio??? How many people do you know that have naked tasteless pics on the internet, but go on preaching like they're God. She is HORRIBLE and needs to go. Did you notice how when she first came to XM, she would take calls from gay callers. I have never in 10 years heard her take a call from gay caller, but she sold out to satellite radio and had to have broader appeal. She constantly runs women down and makes excuses for me to be cheaters and wifebeaters....That is WHY she needs to go!!!!
I am so thrilled that the broads are finally coming back! I am looking forward to today's show as well future shows. Yipee! :)
I love the Broads and I'm ecstatic they're back. Especially with a repeat on the west coast during my drive time of 5-7. Life won't get much better than that.
Having said all that, I hope they can get their website updated, it's woefully outdated.
Hugs & Kisses broads!
ARE THEY BACK?!?!?! I emailed "customer ralations" (LAMEEEEEEEE) a few weeks ago and they broke it to me in a generic manner that Broadminded was not coming back. What a bunch f Turds. I cancelled my home radio and threatened to cancel our vehicle accounts (2)...Broadminded is so great! I will be like a kid on Christmas morning tomorrow waiting to hear our girls! WHOOOHOOOO!!
WELCOME BACK YOU HOLES!!! =0)
Glad the Broads are back.They are the best thing XM155 has going for it. The changes Sirius made were the reason for the decline in listening. The other shows are really bad, especially Depoc!!!
Sirus/XM needs to stop the hesitation and allow the Broads to continue with this very entertaining show. It is the reason I have my XM. This show helps me move through my workday with ease. I've stopped listening over the past two weeks because the reruns are now being rerun multiple times, very annoying!!!
Thanks Twinmom for your 2/24 blog, noting the email addresses of the execs of Sirius/XM. I just emailed them ALL to let them know that many of us will cancel our XM account if they do not give their customers what we desire, the same slots and times that the Broads were broadcasting before all this craziness. some of the addresses did come back as not sendable but 3 of them are good. Also, thanks Broads for the update since XM customer service would not respond to any of my emails, inquiring as to where the broads are.
Ro in Albuquerque.
The Broads are back!!! And they are on at night again so I can listen to them!!!
"...a brand new replay of the show weeknights from 8-10pm Eastern, for people who can’t hear them midday and would like to listen later in the day..."
Yippeeeee!!!
What happened? It's 9:00 PM EST and Deepak Chopra just came on? Say what?
What happened to the 8-10 replay???
Right in the middle of Broadminded Deepak Chopra came on and he's putting me to sleep with his monotone! I'm not listening to this!
What happened to the Broads? XM went back on their word already? Why do they do this to us? I can't listen to the show during the day. Why is there no 8-10 replay???
What is going on? Why the Best Of today? The Broads need to get their act together. Why did Christine need to take off?
I mad there is a best of too. They just returned a week ago. How did yesterday's show end? I don't remember all of it. I know I heard them say goodbye. maybe both are out sick??
What is going on? Enough of the games..I really don't want to hear about Molly's trip to Outback Steakhouse from November. Please, just bring the girls back.
I know Aiden has some health issues..prayerfully he has his health back soon. Best wishes....
Molly promised surprise guests this week and said good bye to Sherry Sherry. They were going to have both Damian Holbrook from TV Guide and Marc Malkin from Eonline. Unbelivable!

I need the broads, they are my workout partners...I listen to them while I do my cardio....I need them for my health's sake.... :-) Cheers!!
PS-what happened to Patrick?
Response to last post, Patrick had to get another job, he is working for Potus. They are hoping he can return to the show. Christine said that he wants to. I hope they come back on the air tomorrow.
I just called the broads new phone number - 866-267-0447 and received a voicemail for The Loft??? What is going on??
Well fuck. I think they're gone.
FU@k XM - I was only keeping my 2 subscriptions because I love the Broads, but now that they are down to 2 hours, one of which is basically commercials, it it isn't worth it.
Thank goodness they came in today! I wonder why they were out? They have not said why yet....
Tina in CT
They were back today, I think yesterday Christine's son was sick so the show was canceled. They were back today, so stay calm!
Vanessa
Thanks Vanessa, I thought her son was sick. Usually Molly will run the show by herself. Looking forward to tomorrow when they chat about "Lost." I hope they start playing clips again, last year I was able to record and save a ton! It was so much fun.
Tina
I don't listen to the lost segments..can't wait until that show is off the air.
One of the Broads was talking about a boyfriend for a few weeks. Did that end already??
what happened to the 3rd broad? i started listening in 2005, but when i changed vehicles i couldnt listen any more. i havent heard the broads since early 2007 and i really miss them. i will be going about my day and something will remind me of them, or i will remeber a certain something that was said and get a good laugh. when they would have their how well do you know the broads games; i could answer every question.
its sad reading all your comments and learning the broads dont have a show. when they do get it back im going to get xm.
love you broads :)
