Another fine show about a great, but almost-unknown group; this time the original Crickets. Dean Barlow was a wonderful singer, and only you, Matt, keeps voices like his still heard. wish you were back on the radio!

I'm an old listener dating back to early XM. I think I have 30 or so Friday Night Catfights, and ALL the Juke in the Back Shows in my computer. Also have the handful of Night Prowler shows you posted. Can't get enough, Matt! I honor you for not giving up and staying with it. I'm with you for the long haul and will listen anywhere, any time. Best regards from Fresno, CA

Hi Matt, we'll listen to you from Germany & Austria, I often think this is the blackest part of europe! Juke in the Back is one of the greatest Rhythm & Blues Shows I've ever heard. I really appreciate to hear more via Internet-Radio. Really perfect. Thanks a lot. Axel from Germany

//Tom Reese

Every Friday night we went to Blue Knob Ski Resort where we had XM Radio in the cabin. We loved the Friday Night Cat Fight. I grew up in the fifties and was happy to expose my two young kids to the revolution in music that happened during that period. The Cat Fight was the highlight of Friday evening. We usually voted on air--the boys, ages 7 and 15 were always thrilled to hear their votes played back. After that we sat back and enjoyed your great playlist. We are permanent fans.

I see Sirius/XM finally got Cousin Brucie off the 50's channel. Could this possibly mean Matt may be coming back. Let's hope so. It's just not the same without Matt. L.A. Alan

hello matt, cats & kittens. thanks to all who made my nightly drive to work in Pittsburgh so enjoyable. i started listening to xm at its start. today i called and cancelled my plan. when asked for the reason, i told them all about our "furry leader" and the blast we had with his show. surely i will miss a couple of the current hosts on xm 5 but the old format is gone and so am i. matt i hope you get cookin again.take care everyone and best of luck matt.


Friday, August 14th 2009 - 07:59:30 PM

//Pacific Princess and Pacific Prowler

Since the show is no longer on the air, the white lines on the pavement seem longer. We have not given up that our furry leader will return to broadcast excellance on our radio. As other night prowlers have said," we need you back" LIVE.

Hey Matt, we badly need you back, either on XM or on some new service.

The once a week fix helps, but the daily shows were the best. Miss the shows, the banter, the knowledge, and the passion for the music. Keep us posted about any changes, Matt, and all the best from Portland!

Hey Matt: Long time no talk! Sorry XM dumped most of the DJ's, they took the spirit right out of the fifties portion. I came back after a long vacation: jumped back in the truck, turned on the radio and no Matt the Cat, no Ken Smith? Still married? If u still talk with "yum yum"? Be sure to say "hello" for me. U a daddy yet?? That's the next plateau kid. Say "hello" to mom and dad on Cape Cod. And, u take care cause I care. Keep prowlin'! Paul

The day the music died on XM radio was the day Matt the Cat was no longer there. I called and cancelled my subscription - and I was not nice in telling them why. Sirrus Radio should be giving a traditional "Viking Farewell" - and I know just where to aim the arrow!

Matt, If you're not back on by next year I dump 2 XM subscriptions. This cousin brucie is the biggest pile of horse manure I have ever heard. These Sirius chumps made the biggest mistake of their so called intellectual thinking when they let you go. We love you, L.A.(Lower Alabama)Alan

Dumped two sirius radio's today. they attemped to change my payment from Quarterly to yearly. had a few choice words , said i would do that IF they put Matt and Ken back on the air and Dumped Stearn and that stupit "cousin Bruici" It's gonna come to the point that someone realizes what they are loseing, that's 6 subscriptions for me. Just one xm left. RZHill Using "pandora" great except for the 45 minuite cutoff.

like so many others that have signed your guest book ive emailed and call xm protesting what has happened sense the merger but i doubt it will make any difference.i would be willing to pay extra to have your shows back. like they do with trash moth (howard stern) could this work?


Thursday, February 26th 2009 - 03:26:16 PM

// Wayne Babcock [waynor]

I dont know how to say what your show meant to me. It didnt just entertain, it became a very important part of my life. as a cross country truck driver you and your listeners became family to me. Lives became connected, problems were shared, while we enjoyed the best music in the world played by the best dj ever.I dont listen to 5 very much anymore, accept to occasionally check hoping to hear that you're back. I didnt call in very often, but I always listened. I miss you Matt the Cat and hope that somehow I will be listening to you again. Thank you for all you did.

Have you looked into the possibility of continuing the podcast and perhaps charging for a newsletter? Any way you come up with, count on my pledge for at least one year.


Saturday, February 21st 2009 - 05:16:10 PM

//Jim Tarter

I recently voted in a survey saying I would pay for some shows and Harlem. You may consider this a pledge for at least a one year period. Beyond that, I don't think w eknow for sure we'll even have internet radio. Let's all fight for free speach and freedom of expression. Artists should get paid and they will. Minimize government intervention and we'll be glad to pay.

Saturday, February 14th 2009 - 07:52:24 PM

//Tom in Colorado

Hi Matt, We love your new Cat Fight format giving a taste of the old show on XM. An idea: how about having the Cat Fight be anonymous; i.e. do not announce the artists or even the year of the recording. I find myself biased toward the original artist and the older recording. What do you think?


Friday, February 13th 2009 - 06:56:36 PM

//john henderson

Hey Matt-- Just E-mailed XM (not that I expect it to much good, regretably) after I heard some 50's on 5 announcer tell us after playing "Hey, Baby!" that that was one hit wonder Bruce "Channel" as in Channel 5 on your TV. As opposed, of course, to pronouncing it "SHAA'-nel" as in the perfume Channel #5. I know it's a small deal but it's a sign of the times after the merger. Hang in there, something'll turn up.

Love the extended 30 min Cat fights, keep it up. In fact bring back all your XM shows, especially Harlem. I'd subscribe $10+ / month for that. FYI, Harlem was my favorite show on XM by far. Just love the early R&B material. Keep up the good work!


Friday, February 6th 2009 - 06:31:06 PM

//Niki Arnold

Hi Matt, Couldn't find coments for the cat fight but wanted to let you know how great it was to hear a little bit of your show again... Wonderful! The three way was teriffic, but best was hearing you again for more than just a couple of songs! Please keep it up! Thanks for that! Niki Huntington Beach "Surf CIty"

//Jay from Boston

Matt, You know how we all feel about you not being on Sirius XM. when I heard the Buckingham's and the Mamas and Papas on Channel 5 the other day I wanted to drive off the road. Where will I ever hear the Mastertones or interviews with Ahmet Ertegun or Ernie Maresca again. I can only imagine the show you would have had in honor of the 50th Anniversary Of the Winter Dance Party in Clear Lake Iowa tonight. I have cancelled my subscription to my home satellite radio in protest of you being off the air. What else can I do to get you back where you belong. The ironic thing about this merger is that I was looking forward to getting TJ Lubinsky's Doo Wop show on my radio. How's that working out. Peace,Jay

Hey Matt, I was listening to 50s on serius and they were playing Marvin Gaye, and I was like "wtf?". Anyway, I don't listen to that channel since you left. You should start a videopodcast on youtube. Maybe add a couple of photos as the audio plays.

I just voted to put the Five Keys in the Alley of Fame. They deserve it, just like you deserve to be back on Sirius-XM. I turned on the fifties-on-five for a couple of minutes tonight, but it sucked so bad I had to turn it off, as usual. I really believe that you will be back in 09.

Hi Mat, been loving the web version of the friday night cat fights, but it's not the same. Fifties on 5/XM is a dud at night without you. Where can I find that petition I'm reading about in the guestbook???

XM must be crazy as hell to let you go. 5 is now just another cookie cutter channel. Not the same you are missed. Today is 1/6/09 and Buddy and Lola have turned 6. They said to say hi. JD

I only discovered satelite radio in 2007,and I instantly knew that your show was special. Your playlist was amazing. I compare this to the FM oldie stations that play Baby Love and Pretty Woman a hundred times a day. It was great to hear oldies I'd never heard before. My only regret is that I hadn't discovered you sooner, like in 2001. Matt, I can only hope you land somewhere soon, so all your fans from Canada and the U.S. can listen to you again. Don't forget you're a cat with 9 lives. Good luck in the New Year. Let's hope that this time next year, all your fans will be tuning in to you. Dan

Hi Matt, Wishing you and Kelly a Happy New Year. I miss hearing your expertise on 50s. Hope to hear you on the air waves in the very near future. You are truly missed by many and I wish there was something we could do to get you back. Someone had an idea to write the CEO of Sirius/XM and I did. I suggest everyone that wants you back should do the same. Keep in touch.

Hi Matt! I hope you have a great Christmas. Wish we could hear you on the radio again. I don't even bother to listen to the 50's on Sirius/XM anymore, it's so lame. And almost no do-wop now. Let's hope they come to their senses and put you back on the radio in the new year. Memphis Mike

Matt - was really pi#### off you were let go from XM. You made the 50's and i loved to hear all the great old rhythum and blues songs I never was aware of before - great tunes - Harlem especially. Harlem. I collect 45's and have a long list i have collected form your great show. 50's on 5 is now like conventional radio - same old songs every day. I have cancelled till they get you back on where you belong.

After much research and listening between XM and Sir***, and finding out that sleeze Howad S*** was on Sir***, I made up my mind to go with XM. I got XM - channel 5 was the deciding factor. Then I found MTC. I have listened for six years to MTC. Every show every night and even listening to the replays as much as I could. I moved my Roady between my cars and home, so as not to miss anything. Talk about pi***d off. I even pulled my antenna off the patrol car. The radio and antenna are in my desk at HdQtrs, and my subscription will not be renewed, until they put you back on the 50s on 5 XMSir*** has got to bring him back with all the shows and features or I guess I'll start listening to internet radio and s**tcan XM ROCK-ON MTC Where you go let me know, and I'll be there.

Hi Matt, Still missing you on the air. You are a special person with enormous talent for brightening the lives of many people. I am still moourning the loss of Harlem and The Night Prowl Show. Hope you are doing something fun these days and that you'll bring your special brand of "chatter n platter" (so to speak) back to us very soon. If you hear from Ken tell him I miss him too.

Wanted to another message to you again & say the 50's sucks without you. As a long haul trucker I always looked forward to listening to you. You made the 50's channel. And where did they dig up this cousin idiot from?, he needs to be doing a children's channel show. I miss you man. Keep us posted. LA Alan.

Over 2 years ago I bought the first of two XM receivers because of XM 50's on 5 and The Matt The Cat show. This spring I will not renew with XM unless Matt is back on. I quit TV for 5 hours each night during the week and listened to the Best show on the air. Tv still stinks and now XM joins them. Best of luck Matt. Hook-em Horns!

Hi Matt, I am deeply sadden to learn you are no longer showcased on XM radio. Your Harlem & Night Prowl Shows were outstanding especially from a 45rpm record collector's point of view. I've been collecting the RnB vocal groups etc. since the late 1960's. I was always amazed at the gems you came up with on your show. The showcasing of record labels & their artists was superb as well as the interviews. Any chance of your shows returning to XM radio? I am considering cancelling my subscriptions as who needs to pay for the generic "oldies type show" now presented by XM. Sincerely, Martin Tokay

What the hell happened? I turn on the XM expecting the Night Prowl show and I get..."Cousin Brucie" of all things! This is terrible and XM is going to hear from me along with my cancellation. Your show was the MAIN reason I ever subscribed in the first place. I guess I'm back to playing my old vinyl again. Friday nights on the patio won't be the same without the cat fight. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all the best from myself and my wife...two long-time listeners.

I miss you on the radio. Like many of your other "guests", I don't like the Sirius 50's line up. I am not renewing when my subcription come up. I liked Harlem the best and I like the Harlem progam that featured Elvis with the Don't Be Cruel clip with Jackie Wilson. I hope you turn up somewhere in the future where I can listen to you again

//Randy Rhoades

matt; haven't cancelled XM yet but my renewal comes up like soon... and guess what... all they'll get from me is a letter about how disgusted I am with their new 50's programming. I've had two receivers for ten years and I have to say I've never heard a Beetles song on xm5 until Cousin dickhead showed up and polluted my ears! It's good by siriusxm and back to my cassette player which was all I had before xm came into my life. Best regards to you Matt and Kelly and good luck to all the rest of us as this world spirals out of control !!!? sorry, but I'm lost in the 50s RDR LaPine, OR.

I too am extremely sad that you are no longer on XM. I discovered the 50s on 5 about 3 years ago...and then Harlem and Night Prowler. I was in music heaven...and the best was to listen to the history of pop music from the 30s thru the 90s...and the other wonderful programing on XM! But the loss of Matt the Cat was the final blow. I believe I will no longer be a subscriber after the New Year. Not the same at all. Sincerely hope you surface in radioland where we can find you and enjoy all that you bring to being a great DJ! Great good luck to you!

//Dennis Naigle

Since the XM Sirius merger the programming has gone way downhill! How could they let you go??!! You were the best thing on the 50's! Loved Harlem, the whole night prowl thing. I will never forget the comment you made once when you played "Ain't that a Shame" by Pat Boone. You said that they ouht to have to pay you extra to play it. My sentiments exactly, although, I think that "Kokomo" by Perry Como is the all time worst cover version. Hope you hook on somewhere soon where I will be able to tune in.
