What does that mean? Like youre amount of reviews dictate how many you can do? So I couldn't just start a podcast and do it daily?

Yep...she is always pushing reviews saying it's the only way to get more shows in a week.

Huh, I wonder why? I guess so there isn't just a ton of stuff floating around? I'm totally gonna start reviewing the ones I like!

I think you can have as many episodes as you'd like each week, but advertisers or sponsors may require a certain amount of reviews to support each episode. I used to to a podcast for a University and we did five to six each week for one "show." But since we were in the University system/State, we didn't have those advertisers or sponsors to worry about.

i have a really dumb question...is Sirius and XM the same company, the same thing or two companies that became one? I'm asking because I remember when they used to announce the channels they would say something like channel 109 xm 107 or something like that its been a while...did two companies merge? i'm wondering does Sirius have the entire market for satellite radio?

Two that merged.

FKFriday · 10/20/2017 9:11 am

Thanks O_P....that makes sense!

micdrop · 10/20/2017 9:24 am

so there's no way she would be fired from one but still maybe working on a contract with the other company then? I guess that was my question. I'm sure she's probably done with satellite completely but just thinking...it has to be something legal and major for all silence. this is such a weird situation.

FKFriday · 10/20/2017 9:27 am

I was wondering that yesterday as well, if she would just go to a competitor. Someone posted that no, Sirius has no direct completion.

micdrop · 10/20/2017 9:33 am

That's crazy that Sirius has no competition...no wonder their stock is up and literally any time someone buys a car they get a new customer...It is kinda brillant actually...

Also, I AM SHOCKED that she hasn't said anything about the trip.
What if someone did pay - I mean I guess she could just email them directly. I doubt many people signed up in such a short amount of time but one would think she would at least announce that the trip isn't happening anymore.

PRECISELY · 10/20/2017 9:35 am

I saw a screenshot on the FB page that Katie said it's still on and she was never going. Of course I cant find it now because that page is crazy town with so many postings.

Whyevenbotheritsover · 10/20/2017 9:51 am

So, the comedy show in Philly is supposedly still on. Anyone think Taylor will get “sick” and not be able to attend? I could totally see that. She knows a lot of fans will show up expecting some type of inside scoop, and she won’t want to deal with that, so she will come up with a reason not to go. Just a theory!

micdrop · 10/20/2017 9:53 am

She needs that revenue now more than ever. She also needs it to be a success so Carly and Emma will continue to work with her. Her missing it would be horrible. She will not miss it, unless it is canceled or something.

How is it the comedy show advertisement can still at she is host of WUWT on SiriusXM Stars?

Whyevenbotheritsover · 10/20/2017 9:57 am

I would hope that is true, and logically, that makes sense, but really, when has Taylor ever used logical business sense? I could even imagine her actually believing she is too sick to attend, just so she doesn’t have to face the questions. I hope she does go, more for Carly and Emma’s sake, and for the fans that will pay to see her, but I just have a gut feeling something will come up that prevents her from going.

I kind of feel bad for Emma. She seems genuine and she is working hard to get her career off the ground and now she is associated with this.

FKFriday · 10/20/2017 9:59 am

It was touted as a listener show though, with clips and stuff. I can see what the other two will talk about, what will Taylor discuss though?

Hey Girl Hey! IRL is a live experience like no other. Bringing you one of radio’s most authentic, irreverent, accessible, female personalities, the lil shot of espresso that is Taylor Strecker (host of Wake Up with Taylor! On SiriusXM Stars) and her two comedian co-hosts Carly Aquilino (Girl Code) and Emma Willmann (MTV2), Hey Girl Hey is a no holds bar interactive show featuring fan favorite segments, stand-up comedy, and the chance to laugh and learn about yourself and the girls on a whole other level.

IG is back at it
gwendalsjOh honey, sorry that you're so bitter and sad that your favorite little radio show was cancelled because the host was fired for trying to grift her listeners 🤑Scamming your listeners is the SUPER classiest! So classy that it gets you fired 😉
stackattack@gwendalsj thank you. Even if the trip wasn't the reason the show ended, it was completely shady. I don't see anything wrong with calling Taylor out for it. She would have called it out immediately if it were someone else doing something similar.

justfortaytay[/url]I want to float my theory past the other little f'ers out there:
[url=https://www.instagram.com/justfortaytay/]justfortaytay[/url]The last time that Taylor asked us to be patient for information and spoke of being unable to share etc was when she was instructed to keep it zipped by her lawyer....
[url=https://www.instagram.com/justfortaytay/]justfortaytay[/url]Sooooo.... I'm speculating that something's in the works. Either she's suing Sirius for wrongful dismissal or negotiating with other stations for a position (hope, hope, hope - fingers crossed!!).
[url=https://www.instagram.com/justfortaytay/]justfortaytay[/url]Either way I hope it goes her way but I selfishly hope that she (and her agent) are considering offers that will bring her back to my radio REALLY SOON. WUWT is the only thing other than strong coffee that's good about mornings.
[url=https://www.instagram.com/caliscgirl/]caliscgirlThere could be other legal reasons for the silence

idontcarethatmuch · 10/20/2017 10:04 am

Siriusxm does have ratings. They are done differently I think, by averages maybe. Gary was talking about them (HS) the other day actually.
There is competition. Podcasts & Terrestrial radio would be considered competition.

It seems a few folks on the WUWT FB page haven't grasped the idea that T was fired. She was fired. Not laid off, not, your show is canceled (Like Patrick) You're fired from the entire company. Goodbye. They still think she's going to appear one day on Andy Radio.....

I 100000% think this is because of the trip.. but also, I think there's some shady business that's been going on for years. I think things ramped up since Kenny left.. why so much Dr. V? She said maybe 2 weeks ago that she was having gum surgery and couldn't attend something around food and wine fest. She always mentions how she wants free food and cosmetic surgery.. I think it easily could have been the trip was the tipping point and Sirius cut their loses.. she breaks a lot of rules and assumes her boss (who LOVES her) will go to bat for her for anything and I think it all just hit the fan.

This fb group is cracking me up though.. I am truly a fan of WUWT, it was entertaining even though it drives me crazy.. but comparing Tay to Andy promoting his tour or any other host promoting legit shows is SO different from meet me in Turks and Caicos and send me your CC info through email for $1400.. CRAZY!

I know, it's nuts- she can't be on Radio Andy if she was fired from Sirius, or at least no longer in the employ of Sirius. If Andy Cohen wasn't interested in her before he sure as hell isn't going to be now.

I didn't even think about Dr. V and Dr. Anolik- that definitely sounds like a pay for play situation if she really was getting free/discounted services from them.

SoftPretzels · 10/22/2017 12:02 pm

Also all the restaurants she would brag about giving her free/discounted food for being featured on WUWT

greattaste · 10/22/2017 12:07 pm

Yeah towards the end of me listening with Dr. Anolik and Toof talk, the show started to feel like one long infomercial.

What about also potentially services with Carin and/or Stephanie Zinn (it's been awhile - is that her name?). I know she worked with them, and if they traded their service for free appearances that could qualify as well, I would think.

tcs1154 · 10/23/2017 12:13 pm

Hello, I'm new to this message board. I honestly wasn't listening to WUWT that much in the last few months but I just started recently and obviously now she's gone. A lot of people are saying she might have been fired due to this turks and caicos trip. Can someone tell me what this trip was all about? Was it a meet and greet type of thing she planned to interact with viewers? I also read she was requesting CC info via email...what did she want peoples cc info for? Thanks in advance for your information, I feel so out of the loop!

Agreed. There were less decent interviews lately and more foodie finds, podcaster friends, and people offering services. I was super excited when she announced Jason Ritter but then she talked over him the entire time.

Basically, after saying she wanted to go back to T&C but it was too expensive, advertised a WU Getaway. Friday to Sunday & you got apps and drinks by the pool, a 1/2 day road ride w/drinks (on the boat companies site for $89), a beach side dinner with drinks and an hour long segment of the show taped for the killer price of $1400!!! Hotel & flight not included. You emailed a Gmail account for the details, then sent your CC number to the same account to be charged. Everyone freaked on IG that it was 1) A crappy ass deal, and 2) Totally sketch to email your CC to a random Gmail account. She pulled the IG post a few days later, then the next day was gone off the air.

Most speculated that she was fired because of the trip, didn't get Sirius approval, and opened them up a major liability including them. Mama Babette got on IG and told everyone to stop being mean, Taylor was using her OWN personal vacation time and her OWN personal money for the trip. What was happening with the bulk of the rest of the money was never explained though.

tcs1154 · 10/23/2017 12:45 pm

FKFriday OHHHH that makes total sense!!!! Thank you so much for summarizing. That is 100% reason for them to fire her if she did not get their approval first. Big companies are funny about that kind of thing, at least in my experience.

FKFriday · 10/23/2017 12:52 pm

No worries! So now Taylor is under lock & key and is only allowed to communicate through InstaGram with emojis.

Hahaha! This is the perfect description of Taylor right now.

I still don't get why she thinks she can update her Insta bio but can't post anything else.

FKFriday · 10/25/2017 1:26 pm

I'm gonna sound like one of the FB sheep here, but was just thinking about this. We have a show in Toronto like the View, called The Social. One of the hosts just disappeared one day. She show went on, but there are 4 hosts, so easy enough to do. A ton of comments asking where Tracy was, everyone missed her, etc. Turns out she had really bad depression and why she left the show. Clearly the station couldn't discuss it. I'm sure there would be some sort of announcement, but if she just snapped over the weekend?!?

10/25/2017 1:32 pm

I don't think so. This job was her everything. She was the bread winner in her relationship. She would never leave this job willingly. She got canned for one reasonable n or another. Prob her fault if there are lawyers involved fighting for money or her job back. At least she prob fighting for Sirius not to say anything. If it was her fault it could be career suicide if people find out the real reason. We'll never find out if she has good lawyers.

I think if this were the case, she wouldn't be on social media at all.

I think this is an interesting angle and not one that anyone else has thought to bring up. At this point who knows, but I would think that if she had some sort of breakdown TD wouldn't have gone to CA so soon?

FKFriday · 10/25/2017 4:24 pm

Yeah, I don't really see it happening and think it was probably the trip. Just struck me today when I was watching the social that this is pretty much how Tracy disappeared. Saying that though, her IG responses were more just need some time and will be back next week, not the I'm not allowed to talk about it stuff.
