O&A off CBS, except WXRK in NY

[Jgatie]

And then there were 3 - O+A out in Boston and Cleveland

Opie & Anthony cut by WBCN - Boston Business Journal:

Looks like the CBS experiment is just about over.

Is it too soon to call them failures at morning radio? How about failures at "Beating Howard at his own game?" Failures . . . period?

I've never listened to those guys...are they any better than Jack & Rod?

They basically are Jack and Rod.

To be fair, they once had ok ratings. But their shtick got hold of them and their mouths started writing checks that their asses couldn't cash. They are now down to K-Rock, Cape Cod and Rochester NY (the latter 2 are not quite top 10 markets).

It's over Johnny. :hah:

 

[hank-the-dwarf]

I love O&A!

 

[Jgatie]

I love O&A!

That makes one of you.

Now go ahead and post a couple whistle smilies, I dare ya!

 

[hank-the-dwarf]

They have a good show.

 

[Jgatie]

They have a good show.

Just ask them, they'll tell you. Anyone who loses 22 affiliates in just over 2 years should be as great as they think they are.

Zero . . . Point . . . Zero

 

[hank-the-dwarf]

I like it alot.

 

[Jgatie]

So since they aren't on in Maryland, I guess you steal that show too?

 

[hank-the-dwarf]

I listen on the intranets!

 

[JoeTan]

There is absolutely nothing to listen to in Boston and these fools blew it.

In the late 1990s O&A in the afternoon and Stern in the morning was the absolute best.

I listen on the intranets!

Ignore not working for you? :hah:

 

[hank-the-dwarf]

O&A are on sirius xm.

 

[IronJabroni]

O&A are on sirius xm.

Mel does not want them on Terr. radio so he is liking this I am sure.

No, people WANTING them on FM and Mel moving them to Sat only might be something he would like.

People not even wanting to hear them FOR FREE does not really help SatRad...

 

[Jgatie]

Mel does not want them

You could have stopped right there, but as usual you went way too far.

You make a "valid" point. Howard was never dropped by any stations.

You make a "valid" point. Howard was never dropped by any stations.

8 stations in 25 years, most due to content, not ratings. Let's compare it to this:

Former affiliates include WBCN, WKRK-FM, WCYI, KXTE, WXYT, KLLI, WEDG, WAZU, KIFR, WKRK, WTZN-FM, WYSP, WPBZ, WCKG, WJFK-FM, WMOS, WSKO (AM), WKLQ-FM, KHYT, WSKO-FM, KSFN and KBZU.

From: Opie and Anthony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That's the number of affiliates dropped since they went back to terrestrial. 22 stations in 2 years 8 months. At least Stern can say he finished with more affiliates than he lost (like 7 times the ones he lost).

Any other "valid" points you'd like to make that prove just how much O&A suck at morning radio? Jeepers Goreds, take gilpdawgs advice and give it up, because you really aren't good at it. Let's face it, every time you try to post, you get owned.
