It continually amazes me how you guys keep talking as if you know what you
are talking about. Do you listen to O and A all day, as well as your hero?
If not, you are talking out of your ass. If you do, then that means you
spend about 10 hrs a day listening to radio shows. That would be pretty
sad.

Drop the spin, boom, and answer one question. How many minutes of the
O+A show did you listen to, between Wed and Fri? How much on CBS, and
how much on XM? Until you honestly admit how much you actually
listened to, it's difficult to take your comments seriously.

BWAHAHAHA!! Poor Anthony. I thought that this move was supposed to
drive Stern crazy, not Anthony.
I guess he was expecting all of his fans to be as stupid as the few O&A
fans who post in this group. Sorry pests, O&A failed twice on satellite
radio, and running back to FCC controlled and censored radio is about
the only option they have left at this point, so you can't blame them
for trying one more time to make their big (and up til now, elusive)
comeback.
It is pathetic though to see how hard O&A are trying to convince their
fans that they did this because they know it will make their show
better.
Ahmad
you thought. Many are going to bail on XM.
whiteninja
How have they failed on XM? XM is still stomping the little doggy
company, mostly due to O+A. They now get to do a three hour
commercial for XM out of Hoohoo's old studio, and things are only
going to get better. Once the next set of Arbitron's come in, and
O+A's ratings rise, you will see more CBS stations come on board,
widening the audience, and bringing even more people to XM. They
didn't run to FreeFM, FreeFM CRAWLED to O+A.
This is a triumph for O+A, and the end of the Howard Stern era. It's
over, Johnny.

Dumb fuck Ahmad. A few people may bail on XM, but they will be

O+A on FreeFM.

They failed to bring enough subscribers to support the premium channel

wackbag.com when he said (while trying to justify the CBS deal to
disgruntled fans) that currently on XM, they don't even have enough
listeners to show up for contests, and that being back on terrestrial
is supposed to solve that problem.
Opie and Anthony are obviously losers who have done little for XM. Why
else would XM be selling control of the majority of the show to
terrestrial radio? Despite the attempted spin by XM and O&A, a
successful exclusive show would never be offered for sale to free radio
in hopes that the publicity it generated would do something for the
small part that wasn't sold off and now heard for free.

Your comments about the show are no rendered meaningless, since you
have already admitted you don't know anything about the O+A show. You
didn't listen to it, so you have idea what happened with Pat Cooper,
Joe Rogan, or Dr. Ian Smith, or any of the great recent guests.

But Sirius still trails 2-1 in subscriptions, their stock price is in
the shitter since the great white elephant came aboard, and O+A are
growing their audience tremendously. Who is the failure here?
Even Anthony admitted as much in a post on

O+A have led XM to a continued and continuing superiority over sirius,

The whole shock jock era ended in 1996 or so, O&A started imitating
Howard too late to make any impact on radio. The rest of your post is
wishful thinking that you will change names and deny saying in a few months.

I can produce no evidence to show that howard broadcast from that

Jimmy isn't the biggest anything, anywhere.
He's an old, never-was, dreaming of getting his fiftysomething year old
ass on a has-been fiftysomething's hack satellite radio show. Nothing
about him is notable or memorable, save for his retarded rants here - a
manifestation of his bubbling-over frustration at having accomplished
nothing, and with no prospects for anything other than that.
And he beats off to the guys in Devo.

If this had been Howard he would probably not even acknowledge the fan but,
if he did, he would call the fan a moron, blame it on the FCC, and shut down

Mike,
I do listen to O$A, and I have mentioned this on here before. I find
Anthony to be very funny, Jimmy to be hilarious (he saved the show) and
Opie to be completely useless and a drag on the show. Ok, maybe not
completely useless, Opie should be a producer like Baba Booey and steer
the show from the back room.
I end up listening to about 2 to 3 shows of O$A a week. I find their XM
show to be extremely hit and miss, the funny is inconsistent. The Free
FM show is awful. That can't say what they really want say, nor can
they bring up topics they really want to talk about and Anthony has yet
to be funny on there, though Jimmy has been very funny a few times but
then again Jimmy always seems to find a way.
The Stern show, since they hit their stride since the end of March
maybe the funniest it has EVER been. I listen to all of the Stern
shows. Though I have Sirius, I download both shows from the usenet
every day and listen on my iPod at my convenience (whether it's in my
car, in the house through the sound system or walking the dog). I
usually listen to the Stern Show in the afternoon of the same day and I
am a 1 to 2 days behind on the O$A shows I choose to listen to.

Stomping? By any measure Sirius' subscriber growth from the past six

The Free FM show sucks so what would cause people to run and subscribe
to XM in droves?
And you and the O$A brain trust seems to have forgotten one big
thing... The badly done Free FM show is being run in AM drive time, the
most listened to day part in radio. When those Free FM commuters get to
the office, they stop listening. Contrary to what you may like to think
most people can NOT listen to the radio at work. SO their incentive to
go out and subscribe to XM to listen to the "good" part of the O$A
morning cluster fuck is nil. The people who are getting screwed are
those original XM subscribers who now have to listen to a watered down
shitty Free FM version during their drive to work.
whiteninja
You chuck that shit at Anthony, but doesn't more correctly apply to
Hoohoo? He bailed on 95% of his audience, and was well compensated
for it. His show has suffered, collapsing into a pile of gayness,
which the greatest majority of his fans can no longer hear. Sirius
stock is in freefall, and if Hoohoo hasn't learned it was a big
mistake, the brass at the little doggie company certainly has.
White Ninja
whiteninja
Don't expect it last.
Most of the folks who want to join for hoohoo, have done so. Plus, XM
is now getting a three-hour commercial, five times a week, on CBS.
That is HUGE exposure, and will add subs. The inferior technology
that sirius has, plus the lack of dollars to invest in R+D due to
overpaying for has-been talent, will mean the demise of the little
doggy company eventually. Unless, of course, things change
dramatically.

I'm sure you will disagree but... they now dance around topics they
could discuss with impunity. You must have notice they can even mention
genitals unless they use some vague reference (they can't even use
"penis" or "vagina"). To pretend that this version of the O$A Show
isn't watered down is to admit you have blinders on. The funny has been
censored right out of the show.
SapperPest19
I would not call it watered down. I'll call it different. Semantics to
some but there is a difference to me. True, there are some topics they
cannot discuss in the 1st half on CBS. But there were a lot of topics
that they discussed on XM that could have easily been on CBS. It's
funny. Nobody complained when they could talk about certain 'dirty'
topics but talked about 'clean' topics. Now that they are talking
about those 'clean' topics because they cannot talk about the 'dirty'
ones, a lot of people are up in arms.
Tim Donohoe
15 minutes of commercials on FM, 15 minutes of old bits on XM. Rehashing
the XM part of the show during the CBS part of the show. FCC regulations

Once again....O&A are allowed to curse on XM. They are not required to
curse on XM. They do not have to curse to do good shows. As far as
content, I kinda enjoy them beating around the bush to say something.
And when they do get dumped, I don't know for sure until the dump
report on XM.
I guess I am in a different position than most. I get to work at about
the time O&A go to XM. My morning and morning drive allows me to hear
them at the CBS studio. I record the rest of the show on my MyFi and
listen to it on the drive home.
>So far they aren't making

Things are still being worked on. I'm not going to make excuses nor
try to guess how long it will take for them to iron out the details,
but I don't feel screwed. But I can see where someone living in NYC or
Philly or Boston who has very little patience could feel screwed.
The bottom line is this. I hear what you are saying about their move.
I understand what you are saying about the move. I just do not agree
with you.
