Opie & Anthony Equaling Howard's Big Ratings with Shocking Speed - NY Post

OPIE & ANTHONY DODGE MILLION-DOLLAR TROUBLE AND GHOST OF STERN
By JOHN MAINELLI

July 3, 2006 -- 'THE next time we get fired will be it for the Opie &
Anthony show," says Gregg "Opie" Hughes.

The stakes have been raised considerably for those who do the kind of
radio Howard Stern - and now Opie & Anthony - do.

President Bush has just signed legislation jacking up the fines
tenfold for so-called broadcast indecency.

It is Topic A in the radio world, where the cost of pushing the
envelope too far just went from a few hundred thousand dollars to
millions.

Indeed, CBS Radio chief Joel Hollander told media analysts last week
that he was warned not to re-hire O&A even though it has been four
years since their infamous "sex in St. Pat's" contest fiasco.

"My lawyers begged - begged - me not to hire them," Hollander told an
audience at Bear Stearns.

After their first month as replacements for the replacement of Stern -
David Lee Roth - O&A appear to be equaling Howard's final big ratings
with shocking speed.

Actually liar it was Congress that passed legislation. Pres. Bush had

ROFL at liberal agenda. The bill was sponsored by Republican Sen. Sam
Brownback and Repub Sen. Fred Upton, guided through the Senate by Repub
Bill Frist and pushed by right-wing Parents Television Council who submit
99.8% of FCC complaints. Bush gave a whole retarded speech supporting it
then signed it. Now stop lying to promote your non-informed agenda.

Promoted by the Republicans and the Democrats did nothing to stop it. Both
are to blame.

equalling? Half of Stern's ratings is not equal to. Oops, you are a O&A
fan, so that means you are stupid and don't know that.

[satanico]

Roth attracted an estimated 63,000 listeners per quarter hour in January,
versus Stern's 277,000 in December.

O&A double Roth according to your article so guess what? They are 1/2 Stern
and on in 1/2 the ex-Stern markets which makes them 1/4 Stern overall.

After only one month.

It is entirely possible they will be exceeding Stern's numbers by year end.

No, after decades in the industry, and in the twilight of their
careers.

I wouldn't bet on it, but if they do that for the next twenty years,
maybe they will be remembered for equaling Stern's 20 years on top
instead of their failure on satellite radio.

you are right... half is not equal but since O&A did half... in 1/3rd
the time... that means MORE.
If it takes Stern 3 months to get a 12 share and it takes O&A 1 month
to get an 8 share... do the math little piggys, its not hard

God damn it you Stern fans are fucking dumb

This is my favorite quote of the article:

"Howard Stern showed he can't cut it on regulated radio. We can," says
Opie.

What a fucking cretin this Opie is! Howard Stern cut it for 25 years
on regulated radio and managed to stay employed the whole time. God,
does this douchebag ever listen to the shit he says? I've never met
the guy but I fucking hate him already.

Exactly. It's fucking pathetic how O&A try so hard to characterize
their picking up a few of the scraps that Stern has discarded and left
behind, as them somehow outdoing him. They are obsessed with Stern and
are constantly making such illogical propositions so that they can
pretend that they are as big as Stern rather than the small time losers
that they actually are.

They did the same thing when they thought that they had outdone Stern
by going to satellite radio a year and a half before he did. They were
talking a big game about how they were going to be bigger than Stern on
satellite. Then the reality of their failure on satellite radio came
crashing down on them and now all that is left for them is to pretend
that they are now somehow beating Stern on terrestrial radio... even
though he isn't even in that race anymore, and even though the only
reason they are in it is because Stern left it, and because they failed
so badly on satellite.

They just come off as two really sad losers.

[Ahmad]

What a fucking joke these two douche bags are. Wow, they beat David Lee
Roths numbers. whopee! Lets see how close they come to beating Sterns
numbers. I read the "highlights" of their show and it seems they spend
a great deal of time obsessing about Stern. They have no clue how to do
anything original. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy uncensored
Stern.

How do you consider pulling a quarter of what Stern was doing to be equal to

Ok...for the slow people....I will explain my post. yqf said that O&A
picked up a few of the scraps that stern discarded. Stern only brought
about 10% of his former listeners. Therefore, he left 90%. [100% (his
total former listeners) - 10% (the listeners he brought to sirius) =
90% (the scraps he discarded)] I was commenting on yqf referring to
90% of stern's former audience as scraps. Nowhere in my post did I
refer to the number of listeners that O&A pulled. What you should do
is sit back and actually read posts for comprehension before you feel
you must jump in and reply. That might help you look less like an
idiot.

Which we know, due to the rating numbers which were a quarter of Stern's,
not all those people listen to O&A. Again, how do you consider pulling a

math book, and it has been awhile but I doubt things have changed that much,
one-quarter equals 25%, not 90%.

Ok...one more time for the water heads. My initial post was talking
about the 90% of stern's former listeners who did not follow him to
sirius. yqf referred to that 90% as "scraps that stern has discarded
and left behind." My post had nothing to do with how many listeners
O&A picked up. You are making a valiant, yet futile, attempt to shift
focus from stern discarding most of his audience as scraps. I say
"most" but "most" actually makes it sound better than what the numbers
show. You are so desperate to want to downplay O&A's success that you
feel the need to drag them into this discussion. Again, a valiant, yet
futile, attempt. Perhaps you would like to answer a direct question.
If stern 90% of stern's former audience did not follow him, would you
consider that 90% to be scraps that stern has discarded and left
behind?

Hey, stupid, here is my original post. It is the entire post,
including what I quoted from yqf. Feel free to show me where *I*
mention or even reference O&A. My original post (quoted below) only
refers to yqf calling 90% of stern's former listeners scraps. You
might want to quit wile you are way behind. But feel free to keep
going. The rest of the group enjoys laughing at you.

Opie and Anthony are making decent ratings gains. But there's no reason to be
surprised that they haven't reached Howard Stern's ratings considering THEY
HAVE ONLY BEEN ON THE AIR ONE MONTH as far as Arbitron is concerned.

In the interest of fairness, if we were wait until a normal radio ratings
period is up for them (3 months), then we can start to make a proper
assessment as to their capabilities to draw an audience. Not after JUST ONE
DAMN MONTH of broadcasting.

The ratings they have accumulated* so far are a strong starting point. And if
you go by trends, the ratings should go up. But the fact that they increased
David Lee Roth's horrible ratings and increased them to a point where we
begin to argue how fast they can reach Stern AFTER ONLY ONE MONTH is pretty
impressive.


* Technically they haven't "accumulated" any ratings. They only have one
rating term under their belt -- ONE MONTH!!

I agree. But O&A's numbers (ratings and listeners) are not in
question. I am questioning yqf referring to 90% of stern's former
listeners as scraps.

Agreed. Best to give them at least a year to really size up where
they're going.

No, only the pests argue that point. The majority of Stern fans laugh
at the thought of them ever equalling what Stern did. Stern is the
Beatles. O&A are the Monkees. Stern is Metallica. O&A are Megadeth.
Stern is Johnny Carson. O&A are Arsenio Hall. In other words, O&A
put up a respectable showing but are nowhere near as meaningful to the
industry as Stern. Not even close.

Right. Way too soon for any of these idiot pests to make claims of
Stern-like stardom. Hell, they couldn't even get anyone to play their
stupid mousetrap game a month ago.

their picking up a few of the scraps that Stern has discarded and left
behind, as them somehow outdoing him.

Scraps? 90% is considered scraps now? When you go to a restaurant, do
you eat 10% and throw the rest away? You are an idiot.

How do you consider pulling a quarter of what Stern was doing to be equal to
90%? Christ. Proof positive that they do not emphasize math in our public
schools.

Ok...for the slow people....I will explain my post. yqf said that O&A
picked up a few of the scraps that stern discarded. Stern only brought
about 10% of his former listeners. Therefore, he left 90%. [100% (his
total former listeners) - 10% (the listeners he brought to sirius) =
90% (the scraps he discarded)] I was commenting on yqf referring to
90% of stern's former audience as scraps. Nowhere in my post did I
refer to the number of listeners that O&A pulled. What you should do
is sit back and actually read posts for comprehension before you feel
you must jump in and reply. That might help you look less like an
idiot.

Sapper, here is a paper bag. Get inside of it, then explain your way
out of it.

Here's an IQ quiz for you...see if you can spot the difference (answer
on bottom)









































ANSWER:

Stern got fired because of a dispute with the guy who ran WNBC where
he leaped into a new job within three months at a tremendous raise.
O&A got fired for gross malfeasance, then got some shit job at XM for
two years at a fraction of what they made at WNEW before they were
ever asked back to CBS.

In other words, Stern got fired up. O&A got fired down.

O&A were one market sensations in Boston when they got fired from
WAAF. Moving to WNEW in NYC and being syndicated to over 20 markets is
getting fired down?

And I'll just say we agree to disagree on whether going to XM was a
step up or down.

Ah, but the difference is that Stern doesn't HAVE to do a censored
show anymore. Stern is at Sirius because he WANTS to be there. Stern
spent the last two years doing a heavily censored show just fine and
got great ratings on top of it. But he hated it. So he left and got
an amazing boost in pay to boot. If O&A could have good money at XM,
there's no way in fucking hell they would have ever gone back to
terrestrial. There is not one adult comedy radio host in the world
doing a heavily censored broadcast that wouldn't rather be uncensored.
Therefore, Opie is a lying, disingenious assfuck.

OPIE & ANTHONY DODGE MILLION-DOLLAR TROUBLE AND GHOST OF STERN
By JOHN MAINELLI
July 3, 2006 -- 'THE next time we get fired will be it for the Opie &
Anthony show," says Gregg "Opie" Hughes.
The stakes have been raised considerably for those who do the kind of
radio Howard Stern - and now Opie & Anthony - do.
President Bush has just signed legislation jacking up the fines
tenfold for so-called broadcast indecency.
It is Topic A in the radio world, where the cost of pushing the
envelope too far just went from a few hundred thousand dollars to
millions.
Indeed, CBS Radio chief Joel Hollander told media analysts last week
that he was warned not to re-hire O&A even though it has been four
years since their infamous "sex in St. Pat's" contest fiasco.
"My lawyers begged - begged - me not to hire them," Hollander told an
audience at Bear Stearns.

After their first month as replacements for the replacement of Stern -
David Lee Roth - O&A appear to be equaling Howard's final big ratings
with shocking speed.

Oops. You accidentally left out the next sentence of the article which
said:

"Now appearing on Free FM (92.3), the rowdy twosome - accompanied by
earthy comedian Jim Norton - doubled Roth's final ratings, according to
interim Arbitron reports."

So what Mainelli falsely characterized as "equaling Howard's final big
ratings" in reality is only a doubling of David Lee Roth's ratings,
which is nowhere near equal to Stern's final ratings.

I find it quite interesting that the ONLY time I ever hear anything about these

NEVER in the media. NEVER anywhere else. Yep. They're on a big upward career
being on free radio since nobody would pay for them on XM.

Good luck, boys. Nobody gives a shit.

How does XM have 8 million subs when they said last quarter they only
had 6.5 million? Did they pick up 1.5 million this quarter? Of
course not, idiot. Once again, you prove you can't do simple math.

Yes it was. Now add where XM had to lower their year end expectations
by half a million because of low sales this year.

I have to tell you that I do care. And it does piss me off when idiot
pests come in here and start spouting bullshit about their lame
heroes. The reason is that being a musician, I respect the shit out
of the musicians I loved when I was starting out. Most musicians I
know are the same way.

Opie and Anthony loved and respected Howard Stern so much that they
started a radio show that emulated what Stern did. They have even
said so themselves. So being the dutiful Stern worshippers they were,
they did exactly what Howard did with Imus and the Philly Zookeeper
DiBella and started trashing their hero, Howard Stern. But what they
forgot was that Stern had real issues with Imus and DiBella,
especially Imus. Imus was a real prick to Howard and Robin, and
DiBella kept telling everyone that Stern was a nobody who could never
beat him. But O&A had no real issue with Stern. They just bashed him
because he made lots of money and enjoyed it a little too much for
their liking.

So they are phonies and lying assholes. Never would I trash the
heroes of my youth that made me want to play music. OK, so I gave
Paul McCartney a little shit on one of my shows, but it was more
directed at his ex-wife. So yeah, it bothers me when I see those smug
fucking assholes take shits on the guy who made it possible for them
to get 7-figure salaries instead of playing records for $600 a week.

And these moron zit-faced teenagers who stick up for them and whine
about how Stern had them gagged like they didn't deserve it are so
fucking clueless about concepts like respect because they think the
world owes them a fucking living are the exact fanbase that O&A appeal
to. "We should be able to do whatever the fuck we want, shit on
whoever the fuck we want, and you should give us exactly what we want
when we demand it," these cretinous dipshits shout. And when the
world ignores them, they lash out like babies, just like their heroes,
Opie and Anthony.

So yeah, they piss me off. Fortunately, their kind always ends up
either learning their lessons the hard way and shaping up, or they end
up being ugly, bitter, confused, and angry adult assholes like Lloyd
the Wifebeating Pest.

I have to say this isn't true. While watching TLC with my so the other day,
the top 20 Supervillains of all time, O&A were commentators: giving their

Do they have to share their ratings with the guys in the 9-11 slot on
92.3? If they do, that will kill their ratings. These guys were worse
than DLR, they were so bad that they weren't even considered
replacements for him (and his 1 share) in the mornings. DLR was bad, but
putting those 2 retards on the radio and expecting someone to listen is

Unfortunately, yes. Arbitron only rates by dayparts, regardless of the
content. 6AM-10AM is a daypart that O&A leave at 9AM, relinquishing
the console to JV & Elvis.

JV & Elvis have spent much of their time on-air since O&A came back

Why is it that all O&A fans do is make excuses as to why ratings are not
higher, or will not be higher? If you care to remember, and I am sur eyou
don't, Howard was at the same disadvantage, as he usually did end his show
at 10 or half-past-ten, leaving a significant amount of time that received
ratings where he was not under control.


I am just utterly amazed at the amount of excuses coming from O&A fans, and
how they spout about how wonderful the two are doing, and how they are so
much better than Stern, etc., but they always slide in those excuses.

bitching that management won't help sponsor a comedy tour like O&A are
promoting right now with CBS. When was the last time you heard Norton,
Vos, Burr, Oneal (yes, no apostrophe - the brother ain't Irish),
Saget, Ralphie May, Bob Kelly, Dom Irrera or Tracy Morgan on JV &
Elvis's show?

A real comedian would sit there stunned at their lame attempt to be funny,
it would be a full hour of douche chills trying to hide the embarassment
of being heard on their show. Patrice Oneal needs to do their show and
straighten this whole mess out before they rent apartments in NYC.

Why is it that all O&A fans do is make excuses as to why ratings are not
higher, or will not be higher?

blah blah blah, shut the fuck up. I was just making conversation.
Google my recent posts if you consider me a clone fan.

I honestly thought someone must have gotten on your computer while you
were gone. Same NNTP Posting Host but you were using logic with the
ratings thing. But it is funny to see a stern fan attack a stern fan
because he used logic.

I've been thinking of getting into podcasting so I've been downloading
JMiller's shows. I just don't know any old Sha-na-na guys whose name I
can drop to impress people. Then I have to find a black guy who want's
to be on mic.

You should make sure everyone on your show can sing and play an
instrument, too.

Hey, there you go...you think we're clones of O&A? Which one sings,
which one plays guitar, and which one plays drums?

I'm black, but I have a terrible stutter and a french accent. I'll be
ready to do your show next week after I get a few things shined. Better
hurry before freewings and hotsauce snap me up.

Try Chico the bass player. He's dead now so nobody could prove that
you don't know him.

"My lawyers begged - begged - me not to hire them," Hollander told an
audience at Bear Stearns.
After their first month as replacements for the replacement of Stern -
David Lee Roth - O&A appear to be equaling Howard's final big ratings
with shocking speed.

"appear to be" is the key phrase. Let's see where they are after a year
of ratings books.

Do they have to share their ratings with the guys in the 9-11 slot on
92.3? If they do, that will kill their ratings. These guys were worse
than DLR, they were so bad that they weren't even considered replacements
for him (and his 1 share) in the mornings. DLR was bad, but putting those
2 retards on the radio and expecting someone to listen is an insult to
radio listeners. If their ratings are a combination of the entire 6-11
timeslot they are working with a zero mixed into their average.

Unfortunately, yes. Arbitron only rates by dayparts, regardless of the
content. 6AM-10AM is a daypart that O&A leave at 9AM, relinquishing
the console to JV & Elvis.

O&A are screwed, they can get a 10 share and these annoying embarassments
will surely drag them down 25% with their zero rating.

Why is it that all O&A fans do is make excuses as to why ratings are not
higher, or will not be higher? If you care to remember, and I am sur eyou
don't, Howard was at the same disadvantage, as he usually did end his show
at 10 or half-past-ten, leaving a significant amount of time that received
ratings where he was not under control.
I am just utterly amazed at the amount of excuses coming from O&A fans, and
how they spout about how wonderful the two are doing, and how they are so
much better than Stern, etc., but they always slide in those excuses.

Tim's hardly an O&A fan, and you still seem to be fully free of any
reading comprehension skills.

Try it again, slowly.

I say "Arbitron only rates by dayparts, regardless of the content.
6AM-10AM is a daypart that O&A leave at 9AM."

And then you say "Howard was at the same disadvantage, as he usually
did end his show at 10 or half-past-ten"


Holy fuck. Do you drink a big glass of stupid every morning or what?

BTW... let's not forget that the NY Post hates Stern and will stick it
to him any chance they get.

I think you are mistaken, despite being shunned by Rupert Murdoch when
he tried to do a late night show, Howard has been reading and plugging
the Post for 10 years at least. He used to have that morbidly obese Post
editor on every week also. After his falling out with the fat guy he
still used the Post as his main source of news in the morning. I am
guessing he has some connection to the paper and has a little pull with
the Post.
