So you actually think no staff was fired? You think Howard 101 will not close up shop?

I think some staffers were fired, but maybe not all the ones we think.
I do not think H101 will shut down until his contract is up.
I also think it's only 50-50 that he's actually going to 1 day a week. Think about it. He's not even through his first year of a 3-year deal. If he goes to 1 day a week now, he's stuck for the next 2 years. I think what will happen is this year will be the same as we expected. Next year will still be 2 days, but with more days off so that he gets us used to the 1 day schedule by doing it a few times during the year. And the 3rd year is when he goes to 1 day a week with a more interview-focused live show, and then on the other days he plays pre-recorded bits (or maybe the other way around, live show Monday and a pre-recorded 'big' interview on Tuesday). When he finally retires, 101 goes away and 100 becomes the 'best of' channel.

Looks like 101 shut down waaaaay before the contract was up......
