They will get Re-signed by for cheap. Radio “talent” level like them on Sirius means they can pay them next to nothing for the privilege of being on Sirius XM. Sirius has paid for their big name talent and acts and anybody below that will be told you will take what we give you so you can tell people you’re on Sirius. Sirius could tell Jim and Sam they’re going to pay them minimum wage and if they don’t like it they can leave which they will not. Norton hasn’t been able to book the large venues he did while on Opie & Anthony (same as Artie and Jackie Martling couldn’t book the venues they did while on Stern) but as long as Norton can say he’s on Sirius XM he can book small theaters. Jim and Sam need Sirius more than Sirius needs them.

That's a very interesting take. Jim was arguably on one of the biggest comedy radio shows in history and with all this exposure he was unable to book large venues. I watched a few of his specials and they all sucked so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

It’s like how when Jackie Martling was always threatening to leave the Stern show in 90s Howard would tell him without being on his show means he wouldn’t be able to book the same gigs. Sure enough he left and went from multiple nights in popular venues across the country to tiny little places in the middle of nowhere. It was the same comedian and the same act but without the exposure it meant nothing. Same with Artie, he could sell out multiple shows while on Stern then he left and is down to VFW hall type venues. Norton is in that boat, he’s lucky to play places now that are half the size of what he could sell out while on O and A.

Radio has been functionally dead since the fucking 1950s. The only places people have listened to radio in 7 decades is in a car or some shit public area: grocery store, waiting room, elevator, whatever. I haven't actively listened to the radio since I was on a school bus, and even that was from lack of other options. No one will ever pay for radio again except by a literal scam, like forcing it into cars. Satellite will be gone in under a decade. Radio can only survive by being inoffensive drivel no one pays attention to.
