From HowardStern.com
Howard asked Greg about his gig as the host of the AVN Awards, so Greg explained that he was excited, even though they won't allow Richard and Benjy on the Showtime broadcast. Paul Fishbein, AVN’s president, then called in to say that Artie, Richard, and Benjy were all invited.
Is the AVN award show gonna be on Showtime, the movie channel? If so, when?

It will air on Showtime instead of Playboy, as in previous years.
It's nice that I can finally talk about this. I've known about it for awhile, because John's dancers from his dance show will be doing a different dance number for the awards show this year.

I think it'd be hilarious if Showtime worked in their series' stars as performers for the AVN Awards. Every other network does this come awards season, so why should Showtime be any different?

The Fashionista dancers will be the highlight of the show, as they were last year.
I can't believe the AVN Awards will be aired on the same network as the best show in television this year, Dexter. Showtime must be floundering for content.

Let us not forget that Showtime also aired Big Brother After Dark.

I don't subscribe to Playboy. So, this is A-OK for me, but why not Fox News?

IMO this is a smart move by AVN and serves the industry's interests better. During a time of shrinking dvd sales, moving the AVN show from the pay-per-view, limited audience of the Playboy Channel to the more mainstream (and larger audience) Showtime Cable Channel will introduce the industry, and it's stars, to a whole new customer base. Which every porn production company desperately needs.
Also, since Playboy now owns "Club Jenna" continuing the awards show on the Playboy Channel would open AVN up to even more criticism of playing favorites, or supporting one porn company over others.
Bottom line: Great way to support the industry, AVN!

And apparently will start airing the houseguests when they're in sequester with the upcoming BB season starting early in Feb.

I don't mind it leaving Playboy, because I thought they did a terrible job. Hopefully, Showtime will show more of the categories. The only downside is that we won't get the hardcore clips from the films that we did on Playboy TV. And the DVDs have been the same version that Playboy showed. Why can't we get a DVD with every category? Or at least the vast majority. I'm sure there a few that most viewers woulnd't mind missing.
