O&A fans only...

Do you think Opie & Anthony could ever come back to XM
and do a radical edgy show again?

What are the possibilities?

1. O&A continue on CBS and XM, with a safe careful show that won't jeopardize their careers.
2. O&A continue on CBS ONLY, with a safe careful show that won't jeopardize their careers.
3. O&A continue to do radical edgy humor on XM, at the risk of being fired.

Those seem like the 3 biggest possibilities right now.
Can you be happy with 1 or 2 anymore?

I don't think there's anywhere O&A can go on terrestrial radio and be edgy.

I really think, the only way for them to ever again do the kind of material that you crave,
would be for them to come to Sirius.


I, for one, welcome you here.
I don't think O&A fans are 'pusstards' or anything else.
I don't give a shit about stupid battles between fan groups.
There are people in both groups, who can contribute thought provoking ideas
and there are brainless parrots in both groups, who simply repeat the same insults,.

Is it really necessary for us fans to fight each other,
when it is obvious how many REAL enemies are lurking out there?

How would you feel about O&A doing Noon to 4pm?
( sorry Bubba, we're bumping you back )

Would you like to see the boys happy and sassy again,
or are they done?

I think most people feel that the Clones show is a better fit in the
4-8 time slot, as it just doesn't work in the morning. The Clones seem
to be better in the afternoon than the morning. The show flows better
in the afternoon than the morning.

Well, Bubba has seniority...
but he does seem to be pretty flexible about scheduling.

Don't call them Clones because if they come to Sirius,
I'll listen too and then I'll have to punch you in the face.

True, anthony can drink during the show and he will shake less.

Good question and good idea for a thread. I much prefer it to the countless
pissing contest threads that get started by both O and A fans and Hoo Hoof
fans. Which is why I mostly lurk.

Anyway, to answer your question, I think that the days of the O and A show
pre-homeless Charlie are over for the most part. I think the most likely of
your 3 scenarios is 1, but I wouldn't be surprised by 2. I think this PAC
movement has a slight chance of turning the XM suits around, but I'm not
holding my breath. I think another possibility is a Podcast type show, but
even then Apple would have control of it. Basically, the only way they can
do the show they want is some kind of underground online radio show.
However, who is going to pay them? In the dream scenario that they come
back to XM and are able to do an edgy show, I would prefer the 3-7 timeslot.
It gives them the same schedule they had before they were fired in 2002.
They get the commuters and kids are out of school, and they get to stay out
late.

Thank you Sir

Do you think they could do an edgy show on Sirius?
I can't see any advertisers here expecting a tame show.
Do you think Mel would hire them?

I think he would, because their fans would follow
and those are pre-educated satellite consumers.
I think it would be a big boost for Sirius, with very little churn.

If and when the merger fails, an O&A defection would kill XM
and that would be better than a merger,
because you wouldn't have to pay XM anything
and you'd still get much of their audience, by default.

Bubba was a mortal enemy of Stern...
but now he holds no grudge and is thrilled to be working with him.
Once O&A are under the Sirius umbrella,
Howard, Bubba and others WILL fight for O&A

They need to be unemployed for 2 years like Bubba was.
Only then should Howard consider showing them any pity.

Ohhhh
That would be a REWARD,
compared to allowing Bubba to hand out their 'Penance'.

Can you imagine that horror?
He'd want Anthony to lick Opie's balls,
while they put fire ants on his tongue
and shocked his balls,
while a mixture of shit from several species
was painted onto them, via a NASA fan.

When O&A were suspended, Bubba had the Manson cut removed from youtube.
I guess Bubba wasn't afraid before the suspension,
or he wouldn't have broadcast the bit over Sirius.

I still have it and I'm listening right now,
to them dig up the corpse of Ronald Reagan and stick his arm up O'Reilly's ass.

They could have gotten a LOT of publicity over that bit
but seeing someone on satellite get busted must have really spooked them.

Another thing preventing people like Hannity, O'Reilly and Limbaugh
from doing anything that might inhibit talk radio hosts,
is the fact that the biggest talk radio hosts in the country ARE those guys
and they don't want their own broadcasts to be censored.

O'Reilly's been one of the biggest against O&A in this whole mess. The irony
about his bullshit is that on the same night he railed against O&A for the evil
rape joke, he had a guest on his show that made a joke about a real rape victim
(not only was she raped, but it only lasted two minutes - ha ha).

Why is nobody up in arms about a joke made about an actual victim of rape on a
"serious" news channel?

You heard about it and you aren't even a fan of his. He is safe as long
as he makes money for his company.

This seems to be a simple fact of life that is lost on clone fans. If
the clones can figure out how to make money for their bosses the way
O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Stern and Hannity do, they would never have these
problems. Too bad for them that low rated clone shows don't carry the
same weight as the pros.

Howard despises Imus & McGuirk and after a rant about Bernard,
he admitted that if Mel brought him to Sirius, Howard wouldn't object,
in fact, Howard made no objection when Sirius hired Imus' Brother Fred
and they approached Howard, before bringing him aboard.

Howard doesn't really hate O&A.
That is mostly a creation on O&A's side,
which has been effective in getting them publicity.

If he'd accept Imus flotsam, he'd certainly welcome Opie & Anthony
and I think they AND their fans would be VERY happy here.

Where else do they have?

If you rememeber Howard backed off and said that he probably would quit
if McGuirk was hired...which I think was a very, very, very clear
message...don't fucking hire him. the shit the fagboys have said about
his kids...no way...never.

No, not the 2nd Bernard rant I heard.
He surprised me and softened his postion at the end of it.
Yes, after his first Bernard rant.
I was sure neither Imus nor Bernard would ever work at Sirius, after that rant.

In the end, who Howard likes and dislikes won't be the main consideration.
This is not Howard producing 'Son of a Beach'
Someone else is in charge of Sirius.
Business will take priority.
If Mel likes the idea, Howard will comply.
Howard answers to no one but Mel,
despite the fact that I pay his fucking salary.

Howard is not gonna make waves,
after swinging a $.5 billion dollar deal.

I was sure neither Imus nor Bernard would ever work at Sirius, after that rant.
In the end, who Howard likes and dislikes won't be the main
consideration. This is not Howard producing 'Son of a Beach'
Someone else is in charge of Sirius.
Business will take priority.
If Mel likes the idea, Howard will comply.
Howard answers to no one but Mel,
despite the fact that I pay his fucking salary.
Howard is not gonna make waves,
after swinging a $.5 billion dollar deal.
I have to respectfully disagree.

If he'd accept Imus flotsam, he'd certainly welcome Opie & Anthony
and I think they AND their fans would be VERY happy here.

Watch your step.
We don't tolerate that around here.

NEVER!
Bubba fans were sure of the same thing, at one time.
the relationship between bubba and howard is much, much different thant the
fagboys and howard.
Howard despises Imus & McGuirk and after a rant about Bernard,
he admitted that if Mel brought him to Sirius, Howard wouldn't object,
in fact, Howard made no objection when Sirius hired Imus' Brother Fred
and they approached Howard, before bringing him aboard.
Howard doesn't really hate O&A.
That is mostly a creation on O&A's side,
which has been effective in getting them publicity.
If he'd accept Imus flotsam, he'd certainly welcome Opie & Anthony
and I think they AND their fans would be VERY happy here.
Where else do they have?
Howard doesn't have a say in any of this, as much as he'd love everyone to
believe otherwise.

One of the asses here has a quote from Opie something to the effect of "we're
not stupid, we know he does a good show", and what's amusing is that the ass in
question thinks that's supposed to be a shocker to us.

O&A don't bash Howard for his show, his content, or for his stature in the
industry. I've said this before, but as you've seen, with the likes of Jimmy and
Marrone bouncing around here, truth can be hard to come by. O&A put out a CD
when they were in Boston where Opie thanked Howard for paving the way in the
liner notes. Anthony called in to Stern's show many times in the early 90s and
even appeared on it in 1994 after he teamed up with Opie. When they went to
WNEW, they defended Howard when others bsahed him. I've posted the audio here to
prove it. But that's truth, and it doesn't fit the story that the Jimmys and
Marrones of the world created to justify their dislike of O&A.

They dislike Howard personally for his behind the scenes bullshit, which even
included keeping musical guests off of their show. The zombies will say they
deserved a gag order because they spread a story about Howard's underage
daughter OD'ing. That's the one constant that they all use to justify Howard's
whining to Mel. But it's a lie, too. They were gagged long before they talked
about Howard's daughter. That's why they weren't able to say his name when they
talked about her.

If they come back to XM and the companies merge, there will be no fence mending.
Howard's on autopilot now and doesn't give a shit about anyone else, and O&A
don't even talk about him with the same venom they used to have. They can see
he's lost his passion.

O&A fans only...
Do you think Opie & Anthony could ever come back to XM
and do a radical edgy show again?
What are the possibilities?
1. O&A continue on CBS and XM, with a safe careful show that won't
jeopardize their careers.
2. O&A continue on CBS ONLY, with a safe careful show that won't jeopardize their careers.
3. O&A continue to do radical edgy humor on XM, at the risk of being fired.
Those seem like the 3 biggest possibilities right now.
Can you be happy with 1 or 2 anymore?
I don't think there's anywhere O&A can go on terrestrial radio and be edgy.
I really think, the only way for them to ever again do the kind of material that you crave,
would be for them to come to Sirius.
I, for one, welcome you here.
I don't think O&A fans are 'pusstards' or anything else.
I don't give a shit about stupid battles between fan groups.
There are people in both groups, who can contribute thought provoking ideas
and there are brainless parrots in both groups, who simply repeat the same insults,.
Is it really necessary for us fans to fight each other,
when it is obvious how many REAL enemies are lurking out there?
How would you feel about O&A doing Noon to 4pm?
( sorry Bubba, we're bumping you back )
Would you like to see the boys happy and sassy again,
or are they done?
How about they just go away.dianne reem has more listeners than these two
unentertaining twats. omg. their 2 xm listeners burned theiur radios for
youtube. NO ONE CARES. This wont jump o/p's popularity. It wont win them
fans. They suck. End of line. Do not pass go. snore snore snore...

I understand that you don't like them
but their fans seem to be a loyal bunch.
While their numbers might not compare to Howard's terrestrial numbers,
they would still give a significant boost to Sirius' numbers.

When people are kicking in $15 a month,
1 subscriber is probably worth more than 20 'free' listeners.

When you add in the revenue from the advertisers on the talk shows
and the ability to broadcast anywhere in the country,
without building any towers or buying any buildings or hiring any more technicians or talent,
Sirius is going to be a goldmine, in a year or two.

Has Vicki been around lately? I don't think I've seen one of her 'the
sky is falling' rants in a while. Funny how she's never predicted
correctly any of the shortcomings for Howard and Sirius, yet O&A
melting down and begging for Howard's help has gone without a word
from her. I guess she can't see everything.

Hey Schwoogie...Steve Miller and Pink Floyd want their FM stations
back, apparently no one has been getting any ratings from having
'stolen all of Howards stations'...BWWAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!!

What really matters is that XM loses, and CBS radio wins. Free FM's
ratings will be way up this quarter because all the XM O&A fans have
to listen to FM. XM will be in the toilet with lost subs and free

No, they won't. If an XM O&A fan received an Arbitron diary, they'd use
it to help O&A's terrestrial ratings anyway.

So if that's the case then the Clones ratings on CBS are even lower
than what Arbitron has been reporting.
