    I think they need a morning show like sway… that has interviews and a camera setup and it will have more impact….

    OVO has access to hundreds of international and small artists who would never get a chance at a radio interview…. They could fill the void

    Didn't they officially launch Sound42 like 3 months ago? Since then they've announced 4 weekly shows:
    • OVO Sound Radio (Thursdays)
    • The Fry Yiy Show (Fridays)
    • HoustAtlantaVegas (Saturdays)
    • SoundClash (Sundays)

    That leaves 3 days for them to fill up with whatever. I'd say they're off to a great start. I believe what you suggested would be a great idea. They'd just have to find a good host.

    I miss OVOSR Saturdays so much man.

    1 show per week, accessible easily right through your phone, holds so much more important than a 24/7 constantly running station, IMO.

    yo the beat that was playing before the first OSR Sirius show with the harps and all the samples from drake’s albums was crazy felt really nostalgic

    Yo anyone got a replay of that? That s*** was dope. Oliver’s replay on SoundCloud doesn’t have it

    I don’t think AM has as big of a cultural impact as people think

    He can do the exact same thing he did on AM on Sirius now

    Everything breaks either on IG/Twitter, THEN people go to the respective app to check it out.

    I don't think Drake and his team saw it that way.

    The Apple Music OVO Sound Radio days were legendary but things have changed since then. Apple Music/Beats 1 has more reach, of course, but it was very restrictive in terms of the time slots. They could only do 1 show per week. They don't have that issue with SiriusXM. With their own dedicated channel, they have a lot more freedom with SiriusXM than they ever did with Beats1/Apple Music and for what they were going for, it simply made more sense, especially since they also they got offered a bigger bag. Now they can fit in as many programs as they want throughout the day/week. That kind of freedom is very appealing and simply something Apple Music/Beats 1 couldn't offer.

    Apple Music played themselves letting Drake go because now none of their radio shows have any kind of impact anymore. It's very obvious that OVO Sound Radio was the one carrying their entire celebrity radio station slate now that they've gone.

    Drake and his team are probably better with the new arrangement now and that's really all that matters. It also sucks for me because I'm not based in the US and can't stream the episodes as a result but for any good episodes, I can always just listen back when they upload it on SoundCloud so I'm good either way.

    Agree with what you said but Blonded is AM’s biggest celebrity show in terms of listeners

    Maybe now but ovo sound was definitely bigger when it was running

    OVO Sound Radio was the biggest when it was still on Apple Music. Even Apple Music execs confirmed this.

    bigger bag? Apple gave him 19M if sirius gave him a bigger bag it would have surely been reported by now.

    I don't think it's worth it since being on good terms with Apple / Apple Music would help push sales and such too, that's just my 0.02
