Kevin, I was surprised that the demise of DISRadio was not discussed on the show.

[hookedonears]

There are many, many disappointed DISers that DISRadio has gone by the wayside. It seems that Pete should have come on the show and said at the end of the month it will end unless an alternative can be found like subscriptions, advertising etc. I think it was costing too much, but it also seems like the lack of discussion prior to its demise meant that he just didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to make it work.

You're kidding right?

Kidding about what?

It was discussed on the other DISRadio thread that they are still evaluating their options regarding DISRadio. If you really enjoy it, I suggest making your views known in a positive way.

Just like this site, DISRadio, belongs to people who can do what they want with it -- it doesn't have to be a business decision they can just decide they don't want to do it anymore. And they certainly don't have to discuss it or ask us what we think -- although it is nice when they do.

Thank you to all who make DISRadio and this site possible!

The message on the DisRadio site said that as of 2/15/2010 they were discontinuing DisRadio because it cost too much. I don't remember any discussions prior to that message, about any problems with the site. There was a post where someone said that on Pete's blog, he asked if anyone was interested in taking it over. Because DisRadio has such a large fan base, it just seems like there would have been a whole lot more conversation about the problems and future of the site weeks or even months before posting the above mentioned message.

I really don't understand why you feel they needed to discuss it with anyone. Unless you are a shareholder in the company, you have no expectations to be briefed on anything. I think some people are becoming really spoiled by the podcasters candidness and openess on the show. As much as I love it, I think people are starting to feel "entitled" regarding certain aspects of the business. You are no more entitled to a briefing about the business than they are entitled to see your tax returns.

While I'll miss Dis Radio, it's been my experience (during my time on the boads, podcast, etc.) if one thing goes way or changes, something else really awesome happens. Maybe the money previously used for Dis Radio will now be used on some new project (think DAP, Project X, podcast cruises, etc.)

Are you seriously coming here and telling Pete how to run his business and operate a FREE radio station? Do you also expect NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox to contact you and discuss all programming change and show cancellations before they do it?? They are free as well after all.

For the 100 millionth time on these boards. Pete owes us NOTHING, no explanations, no decisions, no content what so ever as it relates to what he offers publicly or privately. He owns a PRIVATE company (or two I forget how many) and the word is PRIVATE.. If Pete wants to close the boards tomorrow or stop the podcast forever he can do so and guess what, he doesn't have to tell us...

BTW Pete - please don't close the boards or stop the show, it was only an example LOL

I find it very odd that from time to time these posts get directed to a specific individual even if it ultimately does not pertain to these specific individuals. Just an observation I guess.

Other than that, I'm with Paul....you can't be serious.

I thank the DIS, DISunplugged and wdwinfo for all the services they continue to provide and have provided in the past. These are a bunch of folks that have decided to share their passion to help fuel our passion. That's good people in my book.

I think it is funny that the OP mentions Kevin name.

Poor Kevin always gets dragged into these things.

My 2 cents: Seriously?!? You guys are demanding that Pete give reasons for this? I am with Paul on this one. You have to be kidding me right?

 

[DisneyKevin]

Why is my name part of the title of this thread?

I dont run own DisRadio.

I dont run DisRadio.

I dont pay for DisRadio.

I dont have anything to do with DisRadio..

Hookedonears,

You really need to stop posting messages that do not make you sound smart. Kevin the Genius does not run, own or pay for DisRadio....Also Pete holds no obligation to explain or ask for people's opinion on things that he owns and runs with his own money...Please think about stuff before you post.

Thanks

i do not think anyone was trying to raise eyebrows. some people do not understand business.

What are you saying?

 

[lugnut33]

Are we allowed to be a little disappointed? I mean, I realize they can do whatever they want with all their stuff, but I will miss it.

There's still Mouse World Radio.

I was just in Florida last week and I blamed the cold weather on Kevin also.

Oh, and the track coming up at Daytona was also Kevin's fault. Next time do a better job of paving the speedway buddy!!!
