Well, when I turned on my Sirius this morning I had it tuned to Maxim 108 from listening to Covino & Rich last night on my way home. Who knew that, after changing it to Howard 100 and letting the channel update occur that it would be the last I would ever see of my favorite channel on Sirius since picking up my subscription.
I got my Sirius in November of 2004 for Howard but was excited for the promised new Maxim station. I believe the original Evan & Brian Show started their dress rehearsals the following month and the station went live at the Jacksonville Super Bowl in February 2005. The original lineup with Covino & Rich in the mornings, Bower in the afternoons (having the Friday happy hour at noon after they moved the show to mornings never seemed right), and Evan & Brian at night is still my favorite. Much love though for Stretch (never really got into his show after Bower was fired) and Devore & Diana, who apparently were let go. Covino & Rich will live on, though not on another channel.
I'll miss the music weekends (which they actually got rid of a few months ago), Game On with Scott, Psyche, and Major Nelson, and Amy and the Sex Files... Just a lot of good stuff that vanished in a flash. Too bad. One of the reasons why I keep my Maxim Magazine subscription was because they'd always reference cover girls who would come in to be interviewed and writers from the magazine who would talk about their articles. Guess that's that for that.
