Allen Sniffen's New York Radio Message Board (http://musicradio.computer.net/wwwboard/) has this rumor posted: (http://musicradio.computer.net/wwwboard/messages/281399.html)Posted by Allan Sniffen on March 09, 2006 at 18:06:57:

First, I want to make this clear...

This is RUMOR. Do NOT take this as fact. I did not make it up and have what I think is a good source.

I'm hearing that there is a possibility that Opie and Anthony *may* take over David Lee Roth's spot in "multiple markets". Should this happen, they would continue with the XM show as well. I do not have specifics as to the "multiple markets".

I know this will get picked up by fan sites all over the Internet so, please remember, I am posting this as something I've heard, not as something I'm stating is positively going to happen.

Should this happen, it would be the best thing for FreeFM. They need a big name show that will work in the target demo. O&A will. They have the track record to prove it.

Here's what I had to say about O&A and FreeFM back on February 27 (http://musicradio.computer.net/wwwboard/messages/280329.html)
Discuss.

He's a dentist, what does he know. :munch:

No. The best thing for FreeFM would be if the Sirius satelites fell out of the sky

........and crashed into the XM satellites on the way down.......

yeah

We had their show in Toronto before they were fired.
I'm pretty sure they changed stations at least once.

Didn't know who they were, didn't care, still don't.

Never listened as Howard was available on Q107

Who/what is/are O&A?

:D

He's a dentist, what does he know.

Apparently O&A have been hinting at it too. Just look at their fansites speculating about it.

Leaving Xm for FM? pretty hypocritical

It's also rumored that they're going to be fired by XM. It'd be hypocritical for Opie to go back to FM after all the time he spent bashing it.

If XM fires Ron and Fez im sure they'll find a job at Sirius. Bubba said that he respects them and would be honored if they were on the same channel.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't be extended. Seems to me that their modest listener base probably covers their modestly-priced contracts.

I wouldn't think they'll be fired until the next time they do something stupid.

Um, considering that the last time they were on testicle radio, they were FIRED by CBS (then Infinity), I'd have to say..... no.

i agree.

cbs stock is going to drop as it is.

imagine if those two idiots went back.

the church thing and everything else would come out in the news and the stock holders would run for the hills.

The St. Pat's incident is already out there, and XM wasn't harmed by hiring them, why would Infinity/CBS? If anything, it would help promote Free FM.

Just curious where the rumors of them getting fired from XM come from? Besides Bubba. If you could leak your source I would appreciate it.

Opie has been spreading that rumor since Stern left. They make dick at XM.

Posted by Greg Tallman on March 13, 2006 at 08:30:57:

At about 8am, Opie of the Opie and Anthony show said "the rumors are true. Allan at the NYRadio Message Board got the scoop."

As of this posting, they have not gotten back to the subject yet, but thats par for the course for their program style. I'd imagine they will go into the specifics later today.

He just did. As usual he made great points.

If they're on XM and FM why would the XM people pay for them on XM. Also, if they're on FM, then they can't do or say half the shit they could on XM so their show will be getting more watered down

It's not about hearing bad words, its about content.I've caught a few minutes of their show on DTV,(most times either a comic is talking or they are bashing Howard)Even with the freedom of sat.
radio, there reallyis not much content.Back a few years ago, they were on WJFK and their best shows were when they were fighting with Don&MIke, other than that, the show was an "over the top" copy of Howard.If I payed to get them,and they moved to "old fashion radio"I would throw my Xm out the window.What a slap in the face to their 5 fans.

All Access reports it's not true just a wacky April Fools prank to double the listeners to 10!

From 3/13/2006 New York Daily News.

TALK OF THE TOWN: The local radio biz is crackling with rumors that Opie and Anthony, former morning team on WNEW (102.7 FM) and currently on XM Satellite Radio, will sign a syndication deal with CBS Radio that could include replacing David Lee Roth, current morning man on WFNY (92.3 FM).

So far nothing official has been said, and a CBS spokeswoman yesterday that the company would maintain its policy of not commenting on rumors. CBS did send out a press advisory listing Roth's guests for the coming week.

Opie and Anthony also declined comment on their XM show Friday, but in an interview last month, Opie said they were talking with unnamed companies about returning to terrestrial radio "when the deal is right for everyone."

This would likely mean continuation of their XM show, where they like the lack of content controls. But "90% or more of our show," Anthony said, would be suitable for broadcast radio, so a syndication deal would likely use an edited version.

CBS took O&A off WNEW after the infamous August 2002 "sex in St. Patrick's" incident. But by then they were a hit, and CBS' respect for their radio appeal is reflected in the fact the company paid them to sit out for two years rather than risk their being picked up by a competitor.

I thought they had to pay them because of their contract, and managment approved the bit.Thats why Ken Stevens and Jeromy Colman got fired.Show us proof of this!!

I wonder who told this "nickle nuts" that they were paid to stay off the radio, It seemed to me that they were damaged goods
and un hireable. I don't beleive that at all. Sounds like O&A BULLSHIT to me.

I was wondering the same thing. If they were un hireable, why not let them out of their contract to seek work elsewhere?
Why pay them millions of dollars to stay home. for 2 years.

They had a contract and what read (at the time)was that they did not break their contract, so they had to be paid.This all sounds like away to stay in the press.

What happened to all those awesome FM offers they were supposedly prevented from taking, once the contract ran out?

I don't believe for a second that they really wanted out of their Infinity contract to take a lesser deal. It was a lot easier for Infinity to just pay them and hold them off the air, then it would have been to show cause to void the contract. They had to hold them off the air for PR reasons, which they had the right to do, but they didn't have the justification to not pay them.

I think going back to fm is all a rumor started by Opie. It just Opie showing how stupid he really is, his inability to think a situation all the way through and his delusions of grandeur. I went over to the pest boards and they are saying they are negotiating for Howard's old studio and cheering for it. They actually act like it matters to Howard. They position themselves as if they are replacing Howard, like Howard was somehow defeated. Their whole premise is faulty. Howard voluntarily left fm to go to satellite. Howard wasnt kicked off, fired or lost his ratings. In fact his ratings were some of his highest ever. He brought in records amount of advertising. Far from being defeated he went to Sirius and is building listeners from scratch. IF you think Opie's claim of going to FM all the way through, it really means that O and A are such losers they couldnt get anybody to pay for it so they have to go back to FM and hope to get some listeners. On XM they went steadily downhill from attempting to charge a premium for their channel (an extra $2.95 or something over the basic monthly service), to XM just including it in monthly service, to now giving it away free. Wow the show must be great (pun intended). The show is so bad nobody will pay for it so we will give it away and falsely claim victory over Howard. Logically it just does not make any sense. Next thing they will claim is that the stupid Paltalk has more viewers than Howard indemand.

1)Opie did not start the rumor. A radio insider who is a dentist on the nyrmb did.

2)They will be on xm. Fm will be a censored show.

3)They did not set the premium, xm did. Because of their past, so if you wanted O&A you had to pay extra. Also the playboy channnel I think was included. They did not want to be on it in the first place.

4)Once they did well and were sure they were safe, they were taken off premium.

5)XM has said it is one of their most listened to channels.

6) If true , it would get huge press and huge controversey from teh religious right and catholic league who were the ones who were successful in getting htem thrown off the air.

7)They are known enemies of Howard and they would piss Howard off even more. David Lee Roth means nothing to Howard. Howard knew he would not succeed. The last people he wants to succeed are people's whose guts he hates, probably worse than Imus.

pussgah i think you covered all your pest talking points. what is your rank in the army?

On #6 they only wish they could stir some controversy, no one cares about them. Except maybe the Long Island Press (almost a newspaper but really more like a flyer given away free at supermarkets).
On #7, actually Howard has been the only one defending DLR. He had DLR as guest on KROCk. Which is very magnanimous. Howard has been saying DLR needs over a year to build an audience. Lastly the whole premise of them being competitors of Howard is nonsense. They arent and never were anywhere close to the same level as Howard.

on #5, if Karmazin ever said that about Stern, the pests would dismiss it as bullshit. why should i believe XM?

OF COURSE XM is going to say O&A get all those listeners...but until all our sat radios have the capability to report back to the mothership...no one knows shit. polls can be skewed.

If they get so many listeners, why does XM barely talk about them.When go BEST BUY,CIRCUT CITY, ect, you will be hard pressed to find a pictureof on the XM display.Howard is allover the press ,and all over Sirius displays. My boss was having problems with his XM(by the way he does not listen them says they suck)and on the first page of XM web site, you could not find a mention of O&A.That rag of a news paper said they were a hit and CBS paid them to stay off the radio,I live in DC, a top 20 maket and they were in 17TH place in their target demo.
DRINK SOMEMORE COOLAID DICK

It's all a wacky pre-April Fools attention grabber! But with 10 listeners it aint so exciting!

also on#3 and 4 thats a nice spin. Because they were so popular and "safe" they decided not to charge extra for it. What bunch of crap.

My boss has had XM for about 3 years. Yes at first, you paid extra for Oral & AIDSthony.Before Howards announcement about sirius.
Than after Howard made his announcement, they raised their monthly fee and included Oral&AIDSthony.Pussah2 these are the facts. The whole time XM never fully hitched their wagon to those
2 dicks!!

Bubba is ripping into Opie right now :rofl:

You're the idiot, because that was the first book when all you creekwater drinking Northern Virginians and cousin-fucking Marylanders were mad that Don & Mike moved from afternoons. By the second book, they were #1 in all demos.

Plus, the main reason SIRIUS has Howard everywhere because (along with Em & Martha) he is their main selling point. XM has alot of other feature bullshit that they sell (MLB, Bob Edwards, etc.)

If you want to be smart about it, JFK ratings-wise hasn't been able to recover since they had this lineup:

6-11am: Howard (#1 of course)
11am-3pm: Don & Mike (#1 because you fags have tolerated them for over 20 years)
3-7pm: O&A (#1 after the D&M retards left)
7-11pm: Sports Junkies (#1 in all target demos; were syndicated at the time)
11pm-3am: Ron & Fez (not sure of their ratings, but a funny show once you get accustomed to it)

God damn I wish you would just get permanently banned, but you'll probably just come back as Pussah3.

O&A suck, at thier ages Howard was 1,000 times more successful and he never needed to make up rumors (like this one) and lies (like the Man Show bullshit) to further his career.

Yeah, Howard was definitely more successful than O&A were at his age, but you really don't think Howard blackballed O&A back at Infinity in fear of being Imus'd?

He didnt want his family fucked with. I find it bizarre they went after Howard and his family to begin with. It's nothing like the Howard - Imus thing because Howard actually has talent and puts on a great show.

Look at how O&A say Imus is a friend of theirs. How gay.

I remember the line up dick. and how those 2 dicks and fat ass don and mike. and you are a fucking jerk JFK has been able to recover since this line up:
Howard 6-11
liddy 11-3 ( he was weak at the end)
don&mike
junkies
They were never number 1 in DC in all books,
So go fuck youself, They had nothing to do either the rise and fall of JFK. HOWS THE COOL-AID fucking douche!!

By the 92 how is the gay.when you have to resort to personal attacks on were or how people live, you've surrenderd your point.
Oral and AIDSThony sure didn't mind when they needed our ratings. Also I remember a "rally" they had a JFK when they called out "THE ARMY" piss off DON&MIKE, what was there 10 people holding up signs. SO SAD!!When Howard hold a rally, the close down streets in one of the busiest cities in America!!GO BACK TO WACKFAG DICK

Aplus92,I want you to have plenty to read when you get back.
The only time they may have trended upward, is when they were having the tiff with Don&MIke, but they had no traction in the DC market.That is the only way they could get any listeners was the fight. Let us speculate for a moment,DON& MIKE sucked in NY
O&A sucked in DC, mabe a plan.Their show provides no content,so the little DJ fights gave people reason listen to both shows. All the clones have tried to beat Howard and have failed.
Now we hear that they want to have a watered down show on CBS radio.Nice slap inthe face to the fans.The on thing I now for sure, is they were never apart of The power house lineup at JFK

:crucify:

The St. Pat's incident is already out there, and XM wasn't harmed by hiring them, why would Infinity/CBS? If anything, it would help promote Free FM.

Woulnd't this go AGAINST the whole lawsuit they have with Stern??? They AIR a show from XM radio??? So XM is ok to promote on no-testicle radio, but Sirius is not??? Hypocracy at it's finest!

Plus, the main reason SIRIUS has Howard everywhere because (along with Em & Martha) he is their main selling point. XM has alot of other feature bullshit that they sell (MLB, Bob Edwards, etc.)
And these are the facts.

Because HOWARD = Subscriptions

Dopie & Assholey = http://www.diarizing.com/wp-content/shit.jpg

There is no mention on XM's main page because no one really cares. XM built there current subscription base by being the first on the market. O-shit & A-hole did nothing to drive up subscriptions. The only place it even made the news at all was in the north east....

and with MLB and (OMG) Bob Edwards as your main selling points, you got Sirius pissing their pants....

Why do Odie & Anphoney fans sit on SFN all day long anyways??? Seems pretty pathetic to me....
:scratch:

It is amazing how much time Wackfags spend here.

Cue Joan Rivers: "HOW SAD"

Plus, the main reason SIRIUS has Howard everywhere because (along with Em & Martha) he is their main selling point. XM has alot of other feature bullshit that they sell (MLB, Bob Edwards, etc.)

.....

And these are the facts.

Who the Fuck is Bob Edwards and etc.? I've never heard of these people, so how can they be major selling points? suXM has MLB and Oprah. Newsflash, MLB is already on Old Fashioned Radio for free. Oprah is already on 2 TV channels for free.

Newsflash, MLB is already on Old Fashioned Radio for free. Oprah is already on 2 TV channels for free.

But we all want MLB and Oprah UNCENSORED!!!!!

You just know baseball annoucers have been waiting for the day they could throw in a jew comment ("Jeter got jewed on that call") and Oprah can finally put on the show she has always dreamed about..."How to recycle tampons"

I'm sure that that MBL brings more listeners than the NFL.It must suck to have to depend on Ophra to help sell subcriptions.
The point does not make since because if O&A were just another great program, why did you have to pay extra for it when they first got there.Then XM raised the price and included them, perhaps to make everyone pay.Even if you don't listen.




"hey Anthony can you dice for us, we've only herd it a million times"

Who the Fuck is Bob Edwards and etc.? I've never heard of these people, so how can they be major selling points? suXM has MLB and Oprah. Newsflash, MLB is already on Old Fashioned Radio for free.

so is the NBA, NHL, NFL, PGA, nascar and most college sports.

The reason why MLB is the biggest sell of all of them is because it attracts the most unique people for attendance over the cource of a season then any of the other sports therefore it provides the greatest saturation of advertisement to potential buyers. It also is played almost every day over the course of the summer and most fans of the sport arent going to dedicate time in front of the tv to watch the game.
