Ron and Fez to Midays: Part II

[rmw]

R&F To Middays On 106.7, 105.7? - 5/27 - DCRTV hears that there's a "strong possibility" that "Ron And Fez" may soon be heard in the 11 AM hour on DC's 106.7 (WJFK). And maybe even in the midday slot on Baltimore's 105.7 (WXYV). Both Infinity "hot talk" stations run Howard Stern in AM drive and "Don And Mike" in PM drive. However, JFK-FM also airs Bill O'Reilly from noon to 2 PM, with a "best of" airing at 11 AM. R&F are supposed to be making the move from NYC to DC, where they're currently heard from 7 PM to 11 PM on JFK-FM.....

I hope that's not true. Also I thought I heard that a new show will be live at 11. Hopefully El Jeffe.

I hope not. I only get to listen occasionally live, but I'll never get to listen live at mid-day. The promos on WJFK make it sound as if something brand new is replacing O'Reilly, so who knows.

[paul201]

Does it really matter anyway? The boys have been tame since the move, maybe they will get some guests (old time listener will remember one of the best guest was when they had the dopey lady from the Ms. USA child pageant and that was midday's) and finally most of us can't listen to the whole live 7x11 show.

Down deep don't we all feel that they are just hanging on until O&A get going again? No one can deny that it was a great 1-2 line up (whether it was 11x3 or 7x11's) that was beneficial for all.

I expect to see them all on XM Satellite Radio as soon as O&A get released from their contact.

[curtoid]

I can't think of any other show that has been dicked around more with than Ron and Fez. At some point they have to say "Enough Is Enough" and leave them in a spot to build an audience!!!

That said, a mid-day spot is better for them - it's considered a move up from the evenings, and they would be an excellent bridge between Stern and D&M, but I would only be for this if the Junkies came back to night.

I wouldn't be able to listen as much, but 11-3 really is a much better time slot - maybe they could do a rebroadcast 12 hours later??

Actually, the ideal line-up would be to simulcast the guys from "Live 105" in Baltimore at 11-3, leaving Ron and Fez on at nights - which could open the door for R&F to be put on the air in Baltimore, and they can begin building their syndication empire!!!

<B>FUCK NO!!!</b>

God, when will this shit end?!

RON AND FEZ are a superior show to O&A! Opie and Anthony should be in THEIR shadow, not the other way around!!!

R&F still have jobs; they are on the air in the top seven market; they are on the air in the number 2 most lucrative ad market in the country (behind Sacramento); they are building a following; they had a damn good career before New York and O&A and they will have a better one AFTER!!!

If Anthony wants to stop by the Ron and Fez show sometime and recreate the *magic* of the AFRO Zone, then more power to him (since Opie was never there, it's not like he'll be missed). If Ron and Fez want to drop by their show (in a year), I'm sure the dozens of people who have Satellite radio will appreciate it.

THE RON AND FEZ SHOW is off the air in New York - they are NOT off the air however.

** harumph **

[KOP]

[paul201]

Deep breaths KOP ... I never said O&A where better. I absolutely agree that R&F are their own show and in fact I found much more entertaining. Their humor is witty and not always on the surface.
However, you must agree that O&A were great for R&F. The interaction between not just the four of them but, the fans of each other, made for great radio. Hence Bar 9 or the Al Dukes pinball bit. The best we can look forward to now is Fez's June 23, 27 or 28 (depending when you listen) wedding the same day as the Don & Mike chick.
In both cases it's R&F pulling the bit, but using the other shows to help them along. However D&M hardly interact with R&F and nowhere on the scale of O&A., Ferrell or even Eddie Trunk.
WNEW was almost there as a good mix of O&A; R&F and Eddie Trunk. Someone (like XM Radio) will put them all together with a few others and create a nationally syndicated power house.

[TheMojoPin]

As much as I hate the timeslot, putting R&F in the midday spot will up their chances as being part of the "Stern/D&M/third show" package that was starting to be shopped around when O&A was still around. More syndication=more gooder.

[french bread pizza]

as much as i prefer to listen them at night..for convenience...moving to middays is definitely a promotion, for lack of a better word.

when they work middays they can make so much more money in advertising...just simply because it's at a better time slot to run the commercials. and as someone stated before..they'd have a 3-show wam baam thank you maam thing going on.

now maybe philly 94.1WYSP will pick RF up too..since they run stern and DM they could throw RF in between live..now that would be rad.

Amen brother (no offense Paul201).

Anyway, if this rumor is true, it would be a great move for R&F. Right now they're in a time slot that the previous show (the Junkies) did very well in and R&F aren't matching those numbers. But for them to take over middays and improve on O"Reilly's poor performance will make them look like heros. And to be simucast in Baltimore will greatly increase their chances of further syndication.

And if the FCC approves companies owning more stations, maybe R&F will make it back to NY on some other station Infinity won't know how to run. Pending approval by Howard Stern, of course...

[clubberlang]

The midday show in NYC was definitely not as good as the night show. Ron & Fez are best in that 7pm time slot but I'll be happy as long as they're on the air and there is an underground.

<IMG SRC="http://members.aol.com/clubbrlang/images/sig1.jpg">

[ninepixel]

I agree. I actually think that Ron and Fez are better from 11pm-3am. they are not a mid day show. Why do they keep getting kicked around like a soccer ball? It really sucks.

[jafter]

I just hope that Ron and Fez are happy at any time that they want to be on. I do agree with most people that they will be able to sell the show better being sandwiched between Howard and Don and Mike. Plus more people will listen while at work so the numbers should go up.

The show is catching on down here and the numbers will show in the next rating book. I guarantee that the boys will be in the top 3 by the end of the year.



We need everyone to keep spreading the word about Ron and Fez. Get you friends, coworkers, hell anyone you talk to get them to listen.

[Mike Teacher]

Ask yourself: What is the aim in moving R+F?

For the station; it's simple: the radio station wants to be able to charge advertisers as much money as they can for as long as they can; and advertising rates are tied to ratings.

There may be a myriad of reasons R+F should/should not move here, now. All legit; all real.

Saving that; the station wants R+F to get ratings, and if middays get them ratings, we all win in my book, because they will Finally establish roots at a station.

Because when That happens; we can all debate When is the best time for the show. I think we're forgetting after the WNEW Meltdown; there was a real possibility of the show ceasing to exist; or of them, like many at the station before them, take a Drive Time slot at a small market station.

Which would suck balls, because they deserve a national audience.

huge rumour thats going around, dont believe it untill it happens. The out to lunch show is a more likely canidate since its succeeding on the Baltimore station, they can just send the feed over to WJFK.

My opinion, Ron and Fez are gonna stay at nights, theres no reason to move a midday show from Baltimore, to Nights and leave a midday slot there.

plus rumor is Sterns ratings in DC not very good for the last year or so

Ron and Fez don't need DC, they could have easily gotten a job in NY after the whole WNEW saga if they weren't tied to Infinity. If you look at all the personalties who were fired from WNEW like the Radio Chick show, Eddie Trunk, Craig Carton ( Ferrel had 3 chances in NY) they were all picked up by other companies in NY. Except for the complete losers like Don and Mike and Leykis (who are based in other cities) most jocks that get cut by a station in NY usually get second chances. Ron and Fez would've for sure gotten another chance because they had improving ratings. Clear Channel would've probably replaced the radio chick with Ron and Fez.

It's nothing against DC or any other city but I'm sure Ron and Fez would've loved to have stayed in NY bec their audience was building here and they were just yanked for no good reason.

[SatCam]

Can you say FUCKED??? How many times can Infinity cock this show around. They need some serious bitch slapping. Atleast when they were in the NY midday slot, I could listen during school, or the night replay, but now we have to take this bs from this company. Hell yea, they've produced some good stations, but this Hot Talk management just isnt working for these dicks.

Of course, how reliable is this site?

The WNEW melt down was because of O&A. The whole station was built around O&A's ratings and many people lost jobs because of that. I am of the opinion that this has created fears of building a station around a "perishable product". That's why O&A (with a whole talk line up including our buddies) will wind up on XM radio where as a pay based service they can say anything they want.

Bring Ron & Fez back to NYC

[curtoid]

I actually hope the Junks are not rewarded with getting the mid-day spot. I know they were kind of forced off WJFK, in order to hurt Elliot's numbers against Stern, but there was definate greed on their part to abandon what they had built up here at nights.

I am much more in favor of keeping Ron and Fez stable at nights for awhile; building their listeners; and airing the Baltimore show between Stern and D&M.

Jafter - I hope you are right about being number three by the end of the year, but that's a tall task! I do have to think, though, that the spike in the latest arbotrend came as a result of their show; Stern's numbers didn't set the world on fire, we know that O'Reilly is dead air, Don and Mike's are already at the top; can't wait for the next real, full book!

"Ron and Fez don't need DC, they could have easily gotten a job in NY after the whole WNEW saga if they weren't tied to Infinity."

Even if this wasn't a load of crap, it's irrelevant - Ron and Fez are with this company. They were suppose to come to DC first, and (to be honest) the long time DC listeners really were made to put up with a lot of shit in order to enjoy them on the over-nights.

"If you look at all the personalties who were fired from WNEW like the Radio Chick show, Eddie Trunk, Craig Carton ( Ferrel had 3 chances in NY) they were all picked up by other companies in NY."

How many of them have a chance to be syndicated?? Ron and Fez still do. And isn't Ferrel in Florida??

"Except for the complete losers like Don and Mike and Leykis (who are based in other cities) most jocks that get cut by a station in NY usually get second chances."

Ron and Fez will make more money for themselves by staying with Infinity and by following the "losers" Don and Mike (who are syndicated in about 60 markets across the country, many of which use to also carry The Sports Junkies when the Junks followed D&M) ; Washington DC is one of the wealthiest areas in the country, and (according to the latest R&R) is the second best market in the country, behind Sacremento, for ad rates - while New York is in the bottom five.

"Ron and Fez would've for sure gotten another chance because they had improving ratings. Clear Channel would've probably replaced the radio chick with Ron and Fez."

We will never know. It's ridiculous speculation.

The truth will be told when their contract expires. If New York means that much to them, they can quit and find a station or a company that will pay them the kind of money they have earned in lowly little Washington; if being with Opie and Anthony in their shadow is really more important to them than DC (as so many supposed R&F fans love to imagine), then they will be free to do so.

The Junks moved to HFS to boost morning ratings, Grahme didn't stand a chance against Elliot. The junks didnt move to cover Stern's ass, infact many of the Junks fans listen to stern in the morning over the junks.

"Ron and Fez don't need DC, they could have easily gotten a job in NY after the whole WNEW saga if they weren't tied to Infinity."

They were already on in Washington before WNEW exploded. In October, when the show was live here, it was pretty clear that the show would be in DC in a matter of months. Plus, they have a reputation with Infinity, they are nomads of radio, they can do any shift. If they went to Clear Channel, they wouldnt have the same rep. Its better they stay with Infinity.

"Except for the complete losers like Don and Mike and Leykis (who are based in other cities) most jocks that get cut by a station in NY usually get second chances."


The OnA lead in will be hard to replace, but the Don and Mike lead in is just as big. The only problem is OnA went hand in hand with Ron and Fez, Don and Mike not so much the same.

So who takes the Mid-day Slot? Ron and Fez? El Jeffe? Out To Lunch? Newer Show?

Heres my run down.

Ron and Fez: Likely canidates, but after the screwing Infinity has given them, they are looking to repay the boys. They are the 2nd contender for this job. Thier show is a great lead into the Don and Mike Show, but Don and MIke dont lead well into their show.

El Jeffe: #1 Candidate. His show is growing larger and larger despite its small and weekly broadcast. It has a feel of a younger Don and Mike, but with Silly names. They are untested and a Mid-Day slot or Nighttime slot will be where they really prove themselves. Camdaddy greenlighted the show, and if he has any say in how it all goes down, His friendship with RnF will keep them in the 7-11 slot.

Out To Lunch (Baltimore Show): Haven't heard anything but grumblings. It seems like a possibility being they can broadcast the show in Baltimore and DC at the same time slot live. DCRTV hasnt had much on it, and its probably the least likely.

The "Music Show": WJFK has no variety. Its all older men talking comedy, and thats great but wheres the young blood? The Music show can fill that in. Its perfect for mid-days, its college radio on an Infinity Signal, JFK needs to attract that valuble 18+ crowd, what better way than attack the college kids!

Heres what a perfect line up would look like.

Stern - 6-11
Don and Mike - 11-3
Junkies - 3-7
Ron and Fez - 7-11
El Jeffe - 11-3

Don and Mike have succedd at the mid-day level, and WPGC will get blown away by the Junks in afternoons. Stern as always holds the fort in mornings, and Ron and Fez continue the gradual build up of fans. The Ron and Fez fans then continue to listen later into the night, for El Jeffe, who starts where his mentors RnF did at WNEW.

"The Junks moved to HFS to boost morning ratings, Grahme didn't stand a chance against Elliot. The junks didnt move to cover Stern's ass, infact many of the Junks fans listen to stern in the morning over the junks."

Infinity doesn't really care about HFS - it does well enough with the Baltimore market so that it doesn't matter that it fails in DC. What they cared about was hurting Elliot, who was hurting Stern. They had hoped that by moving the Junks to that timeslot that they would be able to cut into Elliot's numbers, which they did - Elliot's numbers were down with the last book.

They also gambled that more of the old WJFK listeners would make the switch, but (like you said) most of them are Stern holdouts who did not go down the dial.

For the most part, the Junks are (a) splitting Elliot's listeners, (b) grabbing the occasional new listeners, (c) broadening the Baltimore base and (d) relying on a small band of people from the WJFK days that either didn't feel betrayed, or got over it.

They do a very sloppy, messy show that works best at night, or (maybe) mid-day. Don and Mike will never give up their afternoon drive show again - yeah, they did well in the afternoon here in DC, but they are performing a miracle right now at 3-7, with bringing the station out of the 18th place hole Opie and Anthony left it in last year. Right now they bring in more money for WJFK than Stern.

As far as Ron and Fez...more and more Don and Mike listeners are sticking around after 7pm, even without overt publicity. R&F do such a great show, they don't need to do the crossovers and such with other shows. All you have to do is listen to the calls to know that (during the 7pm hour) A LOT of new people are giving them a shot - the trick is keeping that going up through the 10pm hour, when they seem to rely too much on Billy, Rory, Mikey or Elvis to fill the time (JMHO).

It will take time - they will succeed.

[KOP]

ps - Happy Birthday, by the way!

[jafter]

I talked to a few people and I am betting on Ron and Fez middays or the Baltimore show middays. Howard and Don and Mike are going to stay where they are. WJFK is not going to give up those two cornerstone shows. Howard has been on mornings since day 1. Don and Mike followed a few years later.

The advertising dollars for middays has to be higher than at nights. There will be more listeners middays than at night. I know we have a good following now, but just imagine everyone at their offices that listen to Howard or Don and Mike will tune in to hear the show.

The main thing I want is for Ron and Fez to be happy with the decision on where they want to be. I still believe that Philly and Baltimore will be the next cities that they syndicate to and hopefully soon they will be back in NYC.

We need everyone to keep spreading the word about Ron and Fez. Get you friends, coworkers, hell anyone you talk to get them to listen.

[TheMojoPin]

I was under the impression R&F would be doing one hour from 11-12 for a little while. I thought it was a way to give R&F a chance to "market" the show to mid-day listeners in the hope it would interest these listeners to give them a listen at night. If this is the case, then while I feel bad for R&F to have the extra workload, it's a good opportunity to showcase them to new potential listeners. I actually think if this is 'JFK's plan, it's a sign they're really trying to give R&F a chance to succeed.

I don't think JFK has made a final decision on the final timeslot for R&F. I figure they'll leave them on at night, and give people a chance to get a one-hour taste during the day of what they're missing at night.

We hear that the duo's still located in NYC and will do the new hour-long show from a studio at their former Big Apple station, WNEW. R&F got dumped in NYC when WNEW dropped talk for contemporary music a few months ago. At 11 AM, WJFK has been running repeats of Bill O'Reilly, who's heard live from noon to 2 PM.

Ron and Fez will make more money for themselves by staying with Infinity and by following the "losers" Don and Mike (who are syndicated in about 60 markets across the country, many of which use to also carry The Sports Junkies when the Junks followed D&M) : Washington DC is one of the wealthiest areas in the country, and (according to the latest R&R) is the second best market in the country, behind Sacremento, for ad rates - while New York is in the bottom five.

Ron and Fez could have a good career following Don and Mike but they won't be syndicated if that is their goal. Don and Mike do well in DC and Sacremento but all their other cities are very small markets (they don't do well in Phily) . Infinity doesn't believe in Don and Mike like they did with O and A. O and A got a national rollout in major cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Buffalo etc etc. By the way Ferrel was on 3 diffrent NY stations (660am, 1050am and 102.7fm) before he went to Florida.

They didn't do well in the last book, but in the previous one they were Number One. It will tell in the next book, but right now Philly makes up as many phone calls as DC.

"Infinity doesn't believe in Don and Mike like they did with O and A."

Wrong. Tim Sabien doesn't believe in D&M like he did O&A, not Infinity. If Infinity believed in O&A more O&A would have still been on the air through this mess; you know that Infinity would have stood by Stern if he did something like this.

The only reason they got O&A was to pressure Stern into staying during their last contract negotiation. Once Stern resigned, Infinity learned quickly that Opie and Anthony are no where near the same league as Stern, and never will be.

THE EMPERORS HAVE NO CLOTHES!

Besides, Infinity has given D&M 30 million reasons why they believe in them, and D&M aren't dumb enough or inexpereinced enough to jeopardize their station's license.

"O and A got a national rollout in major cities like Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Buffalo etc etc."

And they were failing BAD in all but one of those - Boston. They were on their way to being yanked from DC (from 1st to 18th in one year?! HA!), and other stations were already lining up to find out how to get them off.

"By the way Ferrel was on 3 diffrent NY stations (660am, 1050am and 102.7fm) before he went to Florida."

Ferrel was also syndicated down here and was yanked before R&F joined at nights.

Another loser.

Incorrect. Don and Mike ARE in mainly small markets. True, a few semi-major markets, but nothing like O&A's immediate syndication to Philly, Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, and Buffalo, among others.

WJFK has gone down massively SINCE O&A HAVE BEEN OFF THE AIR. They have FALLEN CONSISTENTLY. 3.7 3.8 3.6 3.8 3.5 3.0 2.9.

Don and Mike are failing miserably in Philly, down to 18th place in the last book - with a pathetic 2.3 rating. It was a similar situation in NYC. This is because, in my opinion, they do not cater to a big-time audience.

They reach out to an unsophistcated, "we'll laugh at anything" crowd that has no connection to the show. Any guy that is known for nothing more than calling his wife "boo-boo" on the air is in no way cosmopolitan. Inane stories, and four hours of boredom each day, is what the Don and Mike show brings. I've heard it for myself - as recently as last week. I literally had to turn the show off within five minutes of listening on WYSP. I cannot understand for the life of me why anyone in a city like DC enjoys these two middle-aged suburban fat men drooling on and on about the agonizing minutia of their boring lives. Maybe all that taxation without representation is making you all crazy!

I am a DIE-HARD Opie and Anthony fan, and really only began to appreciate how awesome Ron and Fez were after O&A's cancellation. But there is no justifying Don and Mike as a show that is anywhere in same universe as far as entertainment goes than O&A or R&F. In an e-mail from Opie recently, he comments that Infinity reps told them in pre-syndication meetings that they were "the future of the company." Don and Mike have been far too stagnant for far too long.

It was not anything O&A DID that took them off the air. It was another poor decision by suits in the most mismanaged radio station on the face of the planet - WNEW. At the annual Radio and Records National Conference this year, it was agreed by radio executives across the nation that Opie and Anthony should not have been fired. It was an expediant decision made by people who had no business running a radio station in the first place. The "new" WNEW now is also failing miserably, with airhead hosts and a morning show with scripts that would line the toilets of 888 7th Avenue beautifully.

Say what you will about any show, but know that praising Don and Mike will get you nowhere fast with NY fans who know of the things Don and Mike have done not only to O&A, but Ron and Fez too. I'm reminded of the time Opie's grandmother died, and Don leaked stories to the press telling that Opie wasn't there because they were in trouble with station execs because of poor ratings (yeah, right) - these are the lengths these worthless scumbags Don and Mike will do.

I don't want to get into a big NY vs. DC war here, but people have to get off this Don and Mike kick.

O n A will win in the end. you just wait in a few years they will be back on , for the meantime, Ron and Fez are saying hmmm lets just wait this out, lets put everything on OnA all we need to do is lay low and wait,, heheheh, i could see them planning now, like DR evil in his secret hideout.. just wait hehehe in the end... Clear Channel doesnt want them, but that XM radio, i keep hearing great things about, Will XM still even be around in a few years? all i keep hearing is that satelitte radio is losing money over and over, people just dont wanna pay for something free like radio.. I know Ron said this, Well a year ago everythign was so much better, Well Ron I'm sorry you're stuck in sucky DC now.. I'm sorry we can't be as great as NY..I'm from DC area, took a trip to NY , and it's pretty cool, but too crowded.. oh wait so is DC, so I guess both areas suck.. but really Ron and Fez right now have got to look out for themself.. They're not waiting for O n A to return, they need to earn paychecks and keep a career going.. WJFK has mad money.. they gave don and mike 60 million dollars, they gave the redskins like 90 million to air games, this station has all kinds of money.. night time radio in DC is crap, Ron and Fez in a short time could be huge at nights in DC< way better then they ever did in NY and then really earn the big bucks,, if they do well they could get put on in Baltimore after Don and Mike, I dont know about Philly because, well we all know Don and Mike wont be on much longer it seems, but Ron and Fez can have very rich and awarding careers in DC,, Will they ever return to NY, I doubt it.. Most people who leave NY don't return. or i could be wrong.. I think howard did, but as for INFINITY, they are way more behind DOn and mike then Ron and Fez, why? well because don and mike make a ton more cash for them then Ron and Fez, and well then think about this Don and Mike got better ratings in middays then Ron and Fez? is that true i dont know, but if it is true, why wont they ever come back? they wont , and Infinity is more into don and mike then Ron and Fez. I think the best hope for NY people.. is that stupid ass infinity stops being a dick and lets them air on the computer so people any place can hear.. but we all can agree on this , WNEW had to be the worst run radio station ever

O n A will win in the end

When everything went down with "Sex for Sam" and the dismantling and collapse of WNEW I remember telling a friend "Just watch some JACKASS cry out O & A will win in the end". What's the matter with you pal? You lost! O & A lost. BIGTIME! They took a lot of people down with them (unintentionally) so don't be talking about "O & A always wins in the end" bullshit cause that's all it is. I can't believe someone would say that. If I even hear Opie try to begin uttering those words when they come back I will gladly tune them out for good. YOU LOST, don't try to save face. For the record I love O & A and can't wait till they get back but don't insult us with your ignorant "O & A always win in the end". Please, spare us.

So, according to ThaBrkrs349, Don and Mike, "reach out to an unsophistcated ... crowd". This apparently explains their lack of success in New York. Because the average New York listener is sophisticated beyond the comprehension of the simple-minded folk that enjoy or even tolerate Don and Mike.

Of course. Who else but the sophisticated listener could possibly appreciate the delicately nuanced humor involved when women rummage around in their panties with a telephone, while the show's host yells out, "Landing strip!!!" Who besides the intellectually advanced "big city" audience could truly apprehend the sociological complexities inherent in a Show us Your Tits contest, or a fetishistic interest in teenage girls and Foozball?

Apparently, sophistication is determined by the ability to connect with simple, low-brow, mildly misogynistic comedy. It's a wonder NY wasn't blown over by Don farting into mics, even if the rest of the show was too hard for some of them to understand.

[DC Reed]

WJFK has gone down massively SINCE O&A HAVE BEEN OFF THE AIR. They have FALLEN CONSISTENTLY. 3.7 3.8 3.6 3.8 3.5 3.0 2.9.


Thats because they lost the Junkies, who were doing pretty damn good at nights. When Don and Mike came back to PM Drive, the PM ratings went way up, but when the Junks were dropped, the entire station felt the loss.

Not to mention the addition of the No Ratings Zone, Bill O'Rielly.

As of now, WJFK is beginning to build it way up.

I like OnA but they weren't a hit for DC, like they were in New York.

Let's keep this about Ron and Fez. O and A and Ferrell have nothing to do with Ron and Fez moving to middays.



We need everyone to keep spreading the word about Ron and Fez. Get you friends, coworkers, hell anyone you talk to get them to listen.

[curtoid]

This isn't DC vs. NY - this is Ron and Fez fans vs. those who think that Ron and Fez are a good show but not as good as Opie and Anthony.

I would like to thank all of the O&A Fans that have spoken up and shown your true colors - you proved my point - you assholes would sell out Ron and Fez if it meant bringing back the worst radio show that has ever been on - Opie and Anthony.

Keep ignoring the facts and keep clinging to your pathetic dreams.

R&F are on in one market right now - Washington. A market that will make them very, very, very rich riding no one's coat tails. Not Don and Mike; not Howard Stern and not Opie and Anthony.

This is also a market that also saw through O&A as the limp dicked posers they are. They were pretenders who demanded respect without doing one damn thing to earn it. Not because this market is unsophisticated (average cost for a one bedroom condo, last I checked, was about $200,000), but because Don and Mike have spent years making fun of shows like O&A and the people here smelt shit, and left.

So, while Ron and Fez are busy trying to recruit new listeners in the show from the only market they are in, bitter little 12 year old rejects from Froy's Bone-smuggling Clubhouse do everything in their power to discourage and tear down any of the new R&F listeners to be part of this community. How many times over the course of the last year has someone been ridiculed for mentioning D&M on here from delusional little fucks who think that "Opie and Anthony" will win in the end???

Gee...yeah...constant Don and Mike bashing and the insistent Opie and Anthony idol worship will do WONDERS for the people who listen to Ron and Fez now!

Cretins!

Newsflash: people in Washington don't have to "Get over Don and Mike."

THIS ISN'T SITE FOR RON AND FEZ OR THEIR FANS! This is nothing more than a tribute site for a show that is no longer in New York; a show that a lot of god damn pricks like Irish Alkey think was a second rate companion to O&A in the first place.

Jafter, Reed, others - you are welcome to them.

[ThaBrkrs349]

Who else but the sophisticated listener could possibly appreciate the delicately nuanced humor involved when women rummage around in their panties with a telephone, while the show's host yells out, "Landing strip!!!


And who else but your truly discerning listener could appreciate "I love you boo-boo" every two seconds by a boring, fat, middle-aged suburban nothing. Face it, Don and Mike blow big time.

The thing is, O&A had an art for delivering their bits. Most of the time it wasn't the bit, but the delivery and the ensuing debauchery around the studio. O&A best bits ever were about growing up, getting a parking ticket, or just messing around and hanging out. Don and Mike could never do that - because they have no delivery skills. Those two having a conversation is like listening to C-SPAN for four hours a day. There's no entertainment value in it at all. And yes, it is generally for simple people who do not expect much out of radio - or simply don't care.

We're closing in on a year since the O&A debacle, and here we are, MONTHS later, and D&M are still bitching about O&A (because, of course, it's always easier to insult someone when they have no possible way to respond).

But you know what, why the fuck did they fight anyway? They are in the Radio Buisness to make money for thier station. If one show can do that in one market, but not another, then maybe they werent made for that market.

se7en - without kicking it back up again, I'll disagee about D&M not letting it go; most of the times when O&A are mentioned it is in response to an O&A caller trying to call and bust balls or to use an example how restrictive the station/Infinity has become on everyone because of what happened there.

Yeah, occasionaly there is a cheap shot lobbed at them, which is ridiculous, but I'm sure if the situation was reversed O&A would have made a much bigger deal about D&M being canned (JMO).

Meanwhile, Thursday Ron compared Jeremy Coleman and Ken Stevens to the two editors who quit this week at the NY Times (indirectly comparing O&A with Jayson Blair) and there is no shit storm at all.

DC Reed - Agreed about the uselessness of a feud with people/shows on the same station. While D&M may feel they were justified to react they way they did, they have nothing to be proud of either for their behavior last year. Listening to these four millionares squabble about who said what off the air made me appreciate Ron and Fez more.

Wow I was wondering why this thread was so popular.

This is old and boring. Don and Mike fans need counceling. They got kicked out of here because they sucked and we dont like them. OnA got kicked off because of legal reasons, not because they are lame or because nobody listens to them.

We have an easy listening station here in NY thats #1 overall (I believe). Just because something has good ratings doesnt mean its funny or unboring.

DnM made a jump from from market 7 to 1 and fell on there faces and became a joke.
OnA went to JFK and thier ratings improved there slightly over time. Nothing fantastic but certainly not embarrasing. I think they were #1 in one of those demos.

OnA fans defending themselves against DnM fans is like Yankee fans arguing with Red Sox fans.

Ok everyone let's keep this topic to Ron and Fez doing middays at WJFK. DC fans tune in on Monday at 11am. Support the show let the suits at WJFK hear your voices.

As you can tell the number of different callers is growing we are getting a good number of male, female, white, black, and other ethnic backgrounds calling the show. We have momentum and we need to keep it rolling. Howard will be a good lead in for Ron and Fez in the mornings there will be a carry over audience.

O'Rielly is not a good fit but the station is not going to move him if we don't support the show at night and during the mornings.

As for all of this arguing about D & M and O & A is old and has no direct effect on Ron and Fez at the present time. Let's put it in the past and focus on Ron and Fez.

So come on everyone knock of the infighting and let's work together. If we can get Ron and Fez in the top 3 in DC they will get syndication deals for other cities, hopefully Philly, Baltimore, and back where they belong NYC.

We need everyone to keep spreading the word about Ron and Fez. Get you friends, coworkers, hell anyone you talk to get them to listen.

As someone who helped keep this trainwreck of a thread going, I'm with Reed in voting in locking it after we learn the fate of the 11am timeslot on Monday.

If Ron and Fez go on at 11am, either for one hour or four hours, then the speculation is over, and we should start a new thread celebrating that; if the time goes to something else, well this thread is moot and should be locked up as well.

For the record, there is a thread over at wackbag.com (one of the dozen O&A sites) that directs people here simply to stir things up and provoke Don and Mike fans; posters, who at wackbag.com refer to R&F as not as good a show as Opie and Anthony, and have posted in this thread.

So, yeah...not to be petty...but they started it! (haha)

Anyway, there are plenty of places on the net for O&A and D&M to get their jerks on without draggin Ron and Fez in with them.

If Ron and Fez really hate the situation they are in, they will be given an opportunity to jump ship when their contracts expire.

[KOP]

[curtoid]

And as far as the topic to the thread, I am very disappointed that WJFK have not given us more to go with than "Something is coming to 11am."

The promos sound like it's simply the 11am hour and not a replacement for The No Ratings Zone with Bill O'Reilly, and (I don't care who you are a fan of) why is that exciting?

I am happy that they seem to be aggressive in imporving the station - the new programming on weekends, more promotion for R&F, a new 11pm show. Cameron seems to be using some of that big brain power that made the Junkies worth listening to on the station.

(Speaking of the Junks, the more I think about it, the more I'm afraid that they will not be back at JFK - just a hunch).

Hope Ron and Fez (for their sake) get the mid-day spot. I'll miss them in the evenings, but they really earned a promotion.
