quote: quote:  quote: The opening song tonight was "Back on Broadway"...  It's been like that for a while. As well as closing the show with "We Shall Be Released."   Does anyone know the first day they started with that new theme? It was to replace the Kill Bill one they used for more that a year, which replaced the ICP theme that was used when I started to listen to them(And back for one day last week). Were there other themes before that one? <a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202"></a>Okay -- I just checked it out.  On January 3, 2005, Giant Brian switched to the the opening they used up until their last show (the one with the drops such as "good evening", "you're excited?  Feel these nipples?", etc.) with the intention that the opening would feed into a new song each night.  That opening replaced Wonderboy's awful, awful "Ooh, are you ready?" opening that truncated the Kill Bill trailer music (prior to that, the Kill Bill music was played through with a rotating bunch of drops).   On January 4, Giant Brian's opening was played into J. Geils Band's 'Cruisin' For Love', and that kind of stuck.

Damn Mikeyboy Have Ron and Fez spoken to you about
officially becoming the producer of the show? If not, they should.
Where do you even dig that stuff up?

Okay, I know I look like a freakin' shmuck, coming in here and wondering what's going on, but I can't help it -- I haven't really been able to keep in touch with the show this year as much as I have in the past three years, and I had no idea this was even brewing over the months until I tuned in last night to the last hour of the show and heard it was their last show! What the fuck?! I had no idea it was the end, and I fucking missed it!!All right? So, I'm a little lost, try to forgive me for it. Can anyone tell me what the situation is? Are they finally moving to XM? Are they going to another station? What's are the facts? What do we know? I must know!I've always been worrying and wondering if they would ever make the leap to XM someday soon, and unfortunately I was wondering right. If this is true, I don't know why you all are so excited! This news is devastating to me! I was never planning to get XM, and I was hoping like hell that the boys weren't going to follow Stern and O&A in. I've been totally against this XM thing! I don't want to end up being forced to pay for something I should be able to have, anyway! Why should we have to?! I need Ron and Fez to stay on WJFK! I like them where they're at! This can't be happening!C'mon! If anyone knows what's going on, I would definitely appreciate the info! Please, sirs, won't you spare just a few minutes of your time to help a poor old noob?

they are going to XM begining in september - look for the big
anouncement on O&A on moday. and no it is not a bad thing.. theyare
going to be reunited with old friends... and plus they can do what ever
type of show they want to there... there are no restrictions from the
FCC (obviously - although i'm not to sure that R&F had much of a
problem with those - but now they can just say whats on their mind
instead of having to worry) and no real restrictions from management on
show content... plus now they will be exposed to a nationwide platform
that is growing by leaps and bounds every day... XM just announced that
they are uppping their end of year sub # from 5.5 mill to 6 mill for '05 and
with regards to the payment thing... people pay for cable or direct TV
- in the begining people had the ame argument you do... why should i
pay for tv??? it should be free... but look at how that flourished
now... and the price is not bad... it works out to under $.43 a day

People, if you want to hear the new R&F show you will buy XM and
it really isn't that much money. You don't need a MyFi. The XR9 is
about $85, the roady2 is about $49, and the SkiFi is about $115. The
tecnology is great and very adaptable. I take my xr9 in the car, in the
house, and my post at my job with very little problems. There are home
kits and car kits ect... Now I listen everywere. Last week I listened
in Esenada Mexico with no problems. I will never go back to FM/AM. Some
other XM shows: Sean Hannity, Coast to Coast with Goerge Norry, Michael
Regan, Alan Colmbs, Larry Elders, Monsters in the Morning (for now),
Phil Hendry, all Fox News shows, all CNN shows,
Msnbc,              
G. Gordan Liddy, Bob Edwards, ect.....

This message was edited by Raskolnikov on 7-30-05 @ 7:51 PM New technology scared Lil Jimmy too..  You're
not paying for something you can already hear for free. You are paying
for NO commercials for music, No FCC to deal with, greater
technolgy/features and all that, and plus theres less commercials for
O&A and will be not a lot for R&F so you get more show. The
commercial breaks are like 5 minutes are most are just promos for myfi
and other channels.

I speculate that Ron and Fez will indeed go to sattelite: An actual Sattelite.  They will be the 1st radio hosts in space and live on a large XM sattelite above the Earth to be studied for scientific endeavors, and then transmit their comedy show every weekday.Good luck boys!  Send us a postcard from......well, just stay safe up there.  Remember, in space, no one can hear you scream.  Or neckslap someone.

I'm currently an XM subscriber . I think I have the 2 year plan.   After the annoucement on Monday I'm calling to extend  my subscription now that my buddies are back in today.   If anyone else is planning on doing the same be sure to tell them  their excellent decision to hire Ron and Fez was the reason for your renewel.   Upper management of a company finally doing the right thing, it  does not happen often.  They should be rewarded.

XM is a beuatiful thing.  I've had XM since Christmas, and I
haven't once tuned to regular radio when I had my XM with me! 
Satellite Radio is going to take over regular radio just because the
lack of commerical on music channels, and all the options you can
listen to!

Hi guys.... Sorry I didn't get a chance to post anything last night, but as I said on Wackbag, I didn't have time to get to a computer until earlier this evening. This is what I posted on Wackbag, and BAM can vouch for the legitimacy of this information. So without further adooo.....I met Ron & Fez at Friday Night Lights (LONG)Sorry I didn't get around to posting this right away... I didn't have time to jump online for most of today. I had a conversation with BAM earlier this evening, so he can vouche for the legitimacy of what I'm about to say. I live about 45 minutes from Thursday's in Fairfax (Friday Night Lights). So I traveled the great (and f'ing lame) Washington Beltway to see if I could snatch any unofficial "official" info from our new XM Personalities! I got there around 12 AM, and everyone was there... Fezzie, Carl the watermelon guy, Kiesha, the interns... everyone except Ronnie. First person I talked to was Fezzie... of course I was wearing my Opie and Anthony XM T-shirt, and the first thing he said was "Nice shirt... we just got that in a gift basket a few days ago!" Everyone's mood was VERY happy/jovial, etc. BAM asked me if everyone was sad... I don't think they were, at least not that I could tell. I think everyone was happy that they're moving on to bigger and better things (as we all are). Fezzie didn't really give me too much info... I asked him if he was going to make any unofficial appearances (*cough AFRO *cough), and he said "Well, we have to get used to the surroundings"... hehe. I asked where Ron was, and he told me that he stood them up yet again... that he "fooled everyone!" Oh well. So I let Fezzie be (so he could get back to the table). I ended up talking with Carl the Watermelon guy... very nice guy. He's going to miss them down here very much. So I'm standing at the bar, and the next thing I know, everyone starts applauding. RON had just walked through the door! I start doing my best Wayne Campbell impersonation (I'm not worthy).... and Ron walks RIGHT UP TO ME!!! He sees me in the O&A Shirt, and starts taling to me right away. Asked me how I was doing, if I was part of WACKBAG <img class="inlineimg" title="Icon Mrgreen" alt="" src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/replytotopic.cfm/Forum/46/Topic/46017/currentpage/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" border="0" /> .... he said "Those guys are nuts... but 'good' nuts!" He asked me how it's been listening to O&A from a fan's perspective, and I told him that the freedom is just unbelievable... that it was seriously the best career move that he and Fez could have ever made... and he agreed with me 100%. He said it's been hell the last few months.. their contract expired in March (when the speculation officially started)... but, as someone acurately pointed out on here, they signed another contract with WJFK and waited out the "no compete" portion (this current contract expiring on July 31), hence, why Opie has to make the "official" announcement on Monday. Once Opie makes that announcement, then they can mention R&F's name, etc. I asked him if he was going to do any pre-show studio appearances, and he said that they're going to do something when O&A get back from LA and doing the X-Games. I asked him about how the channel was going to be set up (if they were going to be live mid-days with replays)... he said "they're not 100% sure of how it's going to go, but it could possibly be something along those lines". He then started talking to the "hypnotist" guy they've had on the 'JFK show. Ron then calls me over and asks me how it is listening to O&A. Fucking Phenominal... it's not like they have to try and "shock" people anymore, because of the freedoms they have... Ron was VERY excited about this. He was also excited to be working in the Steinway building.. and said that they will officially share the studio with O&A. So, I think BAM was right all along... 7-11 am = Opie

Plus with the Roady 2 you can strap it to your Ass if you really wanted to. Now if your really into listening to advertisements that takes up just about HALF the show away then just forget about XM Radio because you still think comercail radio is free!

I don't think any of you should stop, but after what we heard last night, what we've been hearing all this time, and pending a quick announcement on O&A's Monday show, is there much to discuss anymore?Ron and Fez announced they were leaving, they agreed their move was "The worst kept secret in Radio," they played a song that said the word Satellite in it a few thousand times and they played the "We're getting the band back together" sample all through it.  Even though we have no official word just yet, I think it's time to just wait for Monday and take it from there.With that said, Ron IMed me last night and totally dropped the dime on Cameron that he is trying to ride their coattails to XM, but Ron put his cigar out on his forehead and told him to go fuck himself.  NICE RONNIE!

when ron and fez were pulled off of wnew in 2002, i was furious with iffinity broadcasting. how could they have done this? when ron and fez hadn't done anything wrong. on the contrary, they had gone above and beyond the call of duty.it took a while, and wasn't cheap. somehow i found a way to listen to them. i had to get a really big antenna (also known as su). and now it looks like xm. anyway, my point is that ron and fez are worth it.i would also like to thank them for all the great radio, and wish them the best of luck.

Not sure how accurate this article is, I hope at least the 11-2 part is false, because 3 hours would stink.  Local
shock jocks Ron and Fez will take their show to XM Satellite Radio,
according to the network. Beginning Sept. 12, they will broadcast
weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on XM Channel 202, High Voltage. 
 
"It should come as no surprise that Ron and Fez are making the jump,"
Eric Logan , XM's executive vice president of programming, said in a
statement. "High Voltage is a perfect place for them to do what they do
best." 
 
 
The network plans an official announcement tomorrow. 
 
Ron Bennington and Fez Whatley began broadcasting together in Florida
in the mid-'90s before coming to Washington. Their show airs weeknights
on WJFK (106.7-FM), which is home to "The Don and Mike Show." WJFK also
carries Howard Stern 's syndicated program. Stern made waves last
October when he announced plans to move to Sirius Satellite Radio in
January 2007 for $500 million, saying the decision was a response to
censorship by the Federal Communications Commission. The content of
satellite programs is not regulated by the agency. 
 
Details of Ron and Fez's deal with XM were not available, but the duo
will appear on the network's "Opie and Anthony" show Aug. 9 for a
Q&A. 
 
"It was a mutual decision. We appreciate their contributions to WJFK
and we wish them well," said Michael Hughes , senior vice president and
general manager of WJFK. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/30/AR2005073001213.html

Yeah - not sure how
accurate the article is either; they call Ron and Fez "Shock Jocks!" I
am impressed they made a mention in the Post, tho. The station gets no
coverage at all in the local media, unless someone fucks up. 
 The three hour thing wouldn't completely surprise me, although
it would be disappointing. However, remember that during the WJFK era,
during a 4 hour show, about 80 minutes of that was commercials, to they
might end up doing the same amount of show work as they have for the
last couple of years. Kind of stinks, though, for everyone who always
wanted to hear them with more. Hopefully, if that is true, that can
change.So - what does that mean? Is O&A's 6am spot rerun all
day as well, because that's the only way it would all fit neatly - if
R&F get 3 3hr shifts, and O&A get 3 5 hr shifts. 
O&A - 6-11 am 
R&F - 11am-2pm / 8-11 pm West Coast 
O&A - 2-7 pm 
R&F - 7-10pm / 4-6pm West Coast 
O&A - 10pm - 3 am 
R&F - 3-6 / 12-3 am West Coast 
 
I'm glad they will get some of the drive time in California - I think they will play really well on the Left Coast.

There is no way a show can carry over on XM over midinght due to
XM's computers, or so I read.  If this ISN'T the case, why has
O&A been doing 4 hours of worst of a day? So far, from what I know, is XM's computers can't have anything carry over past midnight ET.

You rock. Love Your Grandson Frank I think the point was if R & F do a 3 hour show, in order to keep the current schedule where O & A replays at 3 (and maybe 11), they need to insert the 6am worst of before each replay.

I might seriously have to reconsider getting XM if the boys aren't live in the evening.  I can stand listening to O&A in replays because I never wrote or called in to their show.  But Ron and Fez was a show that I regularly IMed into and called on occasion.  If I can't interact with it while it's live, there's not the same appeal to me to get XM.  This might still suck balls.

People are scratching for AFRO shows, and Ron and Fez take the best time slot available to make an AFRO show, and you guys go nuts? Look, EVERYBODY yelled when O&A went to mornings.  We got used to it. This slot is the best slot for Ron and Fez to take, and perhaps it's a TEMPORARY thing until more shows get into place to fill up 202.  Maybe R&F first, then Ferrall, etc. etc. etc.

Another cool thing about Ron and Fez taking the 11a-2p shift... there is less of a chance of an O&A show being "Roganized" with the four hour cut-off.  If the show is rolling, and there is a guest in there that's kicking ass, who is to say that R&F won't get in on it?  Will the shows be considered by the master computer as one big 7 hour chunk of radio?  7-2, 2-9, 3 hours of something-something, and then 12a-7a.  No more variety hour in the morning; it goes from a replayed "That's The End of My Show Donk" right into live Ecstacy for the Gold.Of course, that only makes sense if R&F broadcast out of NYC.

I know R&F will probably initially take mid-days, but I hope the schedule eventually looks something like this: 7AM-11AM: Opie & Anthony 
11AM-3PM: Scott Ferrall 
3PM-7PM: (something worthy of afternoon drive) 
7PM-11PM: Ron & Fez I'm just so used to R&F being on during that 7-11 shift... In my mind they're just designed to be an evening show. They're a relaxing laugh at the end of the day. (Plus, drinking games are no fun at 1 in the afternoon.)

Ron & Fez are at their best when they are exhausted and have something to prove. I miss the two-a-days.

Personally if i was the PD i would like to see7am - 11am Ron and Fez3pm-7pm Opie and Anthony7pm-11pm Ron and Fez ReplayWhy i think will work: First off i think that OnA is a show designed for  afternoons.  They would have more guest and have more fun like the old days.  2nd the morning RnF will introduce (and force) the audiance to Ron and Fez.  Ron and Fez is not a show that needs guest, they have such a strong show it could be replayed easly at 7-11pm.  3rd the west coast that OnA are pandering to are not giving XM huge ratings.  Ron and Fez would be a better show for west coast people to hook onto and give OnA a listen later on, and because the west coast is the only reason OnA do mornings they can trade with afternoons till Jan 2006 to go head to head with sternOn the other side 11am- 2pm being West coast morning drive is really fucking good.  Morning drive in market 2 would bring in alot of new listeners

Mikeyboy and I have talked about that as well - those NY two a day
marathons (following the time when O&A left, but before they were
live in Washington) amounted to some of Ron and Fez's best radio, imo.
Also, when they came to Washington and did the one hour midday spot
("The Fastest Hour in Radio"), as well as the night show, it was also
excellent. However, eventually the fatigue did hit them, and whatever
carrot that was being dangled in front of them just didn't seem as
worth it as it might have once before. Still - I loved those NY night shows after having done a day show, and The Fastest Hour in Radio rocked.

Man, some of you need to just chill the hell out. First off, 202 is
still in its infancy stage. OnA have been pulling the weight on that
station all by themselves, and waiting for this "deal" to happen for a
while now I suspect. I think it's logical (IMO) that when OnA finish
handpicking talent for the station, the only replays we'll be able to
get will be in the weee hours of the a.m. Here's how I see it: 7-11 Some show like Feral (I remember him doing a very eary show before, so he might go for it)11-3 Brother Wease perhaps ? The boys want him on there for sure. 3-7 OnA7-11 The boys.11-? The local watering holes. (Hopefully one which I work at from time to time)  Of course, this part is speculation, but would make sense to me once they have at least two more shows at the station.

Oh! Aren't you the "It's all about me" guy. I want what's best for Ron and Fez. And right now it is XM Radio. Ron and Fez have a very selective audience. Kind of like all my favorite shows. "Dead Like Me" and "Freaks and Geeks". Both great shows. Both cancelled. O&A appeal to a much larger audience. R&F appeal to smaller more loyal audience. Attaching R&F to O&A allows R&F to keep doing their show forever. Otherwise they would eventually be unemployed. Sorry. That's what would have happened. Fact.

I've said it before and I'll say it again;I just don't see what the BFD is about Ron and Fez being attached to (or affiliated with) The Opie and Anthony show.  I don't see how RnF will "benefit".  Yes, there are the drones who will automatically like RnF just because OnA say that they like them but, how many people is that?  Really?When OnA were blowing up a few years ago...did RnF benefit from it then?  Did being "the guys who come on after OnA" help RnF to draw huge numbers?  Howard Stern is (was) the biggest radio show in history and I don't know how much that helped Julie Slater (the girl that follows his show in NY WXRK).  Or any of the other shows that follows Stern in various markets. I used to love the OnA show.  I outgrew it.  It's a different kind of humour than RnF.  In other words, it's entirely possible to love one show and hate the other so....what's all the hoopla aboot the two shows sharing a channel?  (other than that RnF and OnA are friendly with each other)Personally, I have NO DESIRE to hear "shock radio" of any variety anymore. I don't care about strippers on the radio.  Lesbians. Porn stars. Or anything else like that ON THE RADIO.  In my opinion, it just doesn't translate. ("Wow. That's some body ya got there."  "This chick is HOT!")I like Rons riffs. Fez' overall presence. Comedy pyramids.  Topical stuff. And when Ron opens up one of his "what is your favorite?" topics and just comments on call after call after call.That is ALL stuff I can hear them do on regular radio. It's the show they've been doing for years and years.  It's the stuff EVERY SINGLE FAN OF THE SHOW has come to love about it. The "freedom" to do more risque (sp?) stuff doesn't really apply to the RnF show.  Neither does the OnA lead-in.Last time I heard the OnA show....they were making girls f'ck a wiffle bat and marking the depth with a sharpie.  I guess that's funny to a lot of people.  That's cool. More power to ya.  But still....what the HELL does that have to do with RnF?!

ron and fez arent stupid. you think they are going to xm so they can hang out with o an a in the back office and drink beer? obviously they think going to XM is the best move at this point in their careers. in the summer of 2002 ron and fez were gaining real momentum in the ratings and then S4S3 killed everything. they probably feel like theres unfinished business in NY. XM is also a growing national medium, they are adding half million subs each quarter lately. the future isnt commercial radio. I'm convinced if radio fans had satellite radio in their cars for a one week trial basis it would be impossible to go back to commerical radio. if youre not planning on getting XM I say just try it out for a month you can get a roady 2 for 49 dollars and hook it up very easily in your car, you do not need to buy the home kit bec XM has free online streaming for their subs so after the initial 49 dollar purchase your only expense will be the 13$ a month fee which is a fraction of what most pple are paying for their cell phones, IP's, cable all of which arent necessities. you will be able to listen in the car and at home

If this is true, I don't know why you all are so excited! This news is devastating to me! I was never planning to get XM, and I was hoping like hell that the boys weren't going to follow Stern and O&A in. I''m really sorry if is response is that delayed or has been covered many time, but I just returned from a week in Mexico-enjoying my XM for the complete week- and just had to reply.  Granted most people don't like to pay for what they can normally get for free, but XM isn't IMO in that catagory.  You are getting musch more than you are paying for. Re: R&F, you will be able to get them no matter where you are in North America, from Northern Canada as far south as Mexico City, Mexico.  You will be getting over 150 channels of music-more than you can listen too-, news, commentary, traffic, just too many numerous things to mention. As a R&F fan and XM shareholders, I fee that R&F going to XM will be terrific for both.  R&F will be walking into a National audience that presently exceeds 4.2 million going to 6 million before the end of the year.  Most stock analysts are estimating a 20 million sub base by 2014. Get your Roady1 for $49.00 and pay the $12.95 per month and relax.  You will feel it is the best investment you have probqbly ever made. JMHO Roland

The only thing i like about R&F goign 11am-3pm is that it frees my nights up to listen to the hideout live rather than on replay. I do however belive that R&F are better in the night time and probably the 3-7 slot. We can cross our fingers and hope they move to 3pm-7pm

It's okay to have an opinion, but to make definitive statements that are B S is just f***ing stupid. Ron and Fez appeal to a wide audience. That is why they were brought in from Florida and given the overnight post in New York. They got ratings and moved to the evening shift. In DC; where they got no support from the station their numbers were respectable. This they fit in a little niche stuff is just crap. If it were true they would be unemployed now...not some time in the future. What you're saying is somehow the fans of the show  "get it", "Ron and Fez are too smart for everyone else" Here's the reality...most of us that lsten to the show are morons. R&F while intelligent fellows hardly qualify as highbrow humorists appealing to a small but loyal audience of intellectuals. Once again..we're fucking morons and they make us laugh. Stop trying to analyze the shit out of this and just enjoy the show. quote: Sorry. That's what would have happened. Fact.  Here's a fact for ya...if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

   The show is definitely
different from the old Infinity days.  I was a huge fan, but I
like the XM show a *lot* more.  It's certainly not completely
"tame", but they aren't relying on women to come in and get violated
like they used to.  It happens occasionally, but even then it is a
bit different.  It's more current-events driven, with lots of
obscure references.  Everyone talks about how satellite lets you
say "anything", but the biggest thing about it turns out to be that the
hosts have more freedom to put out the kind of show they want. 
Obviously, they still need to ensure they draw enough listeners to
legitimize their paychecks, but it is a far different world than
commercial radio. 
 If you don't like it in the first twenty minutes... oh, nevermind.

 a few things  1)
o&A said quite clearly that they are in mornings for good and not
moving back to afternnons... they dont want to do that slot ant more so
we can stop hoping for that2) Scott Farrell is comming to XM...
he has singed an agreement with them (not a contract- they are still
working out those details) but he will not be on 202 - he will be on
some type of extreme sports channel (might be what opie was talking
about when he mentioned XM changing the programing on 152)3) ron and fez will start out from 11-3 but will probably not stay there
for long... from what i hear XM has recently signed an agreement with
another show for 202 (no it is not farrell - and i dont know who the
show is) and ron and fez will probably change to 3-7... i guess the
idea is they dont want live show... replay of smae show... live show...
replay... the replays probably makes it hard to keep listeners and you
want a live show to be a good lead up to the next show so you retain
listeners...

An official annoucement?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/07/30/AR2005073001213.html
Local shock jocks 
Ron and Fez will take their show to
XM Satellite Radio, according to the network. Beginning Sept. 12, they
will broadcast weekdays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on XM Channel 202, High
Voltage.
"It should come as no surprise that Ron and Fez are making the jump," Eric Logan
, XM's executive vice president of programming, said in a statement.
"High Voltage is a perfect place for them to do what they do best."
The network plans an official announcement tomorrow.
Ron
Bennington and Fez Whatley began broadcasting together in Florida in
the mid-'90s before coming to Washington. Their show airs weeknights on
WJFK (106.7-FM), which is home to "The Don and Mike Show." WJFK also carries Howard Stern 's
syndicated program. Stern made waves last October when he announced
plans to move to Sirius Satellite Radio in January 2007 for $500
million, saying the decision was a response to censorship by the
Federal Communications Commission. The content of satellite programs is
not regulated by the agency.
Details of Ron and
Fez's deal with XM were not available, but the duo will appear on the
network's "Opie and Anthony" show Aug. 9 for a Q&A.
"It was a mutual decision. We appreciate their contributions to WJFK and we wish them well," said Michael Hughes , senior vice president and general manager of WJFK.

And they did unbelievably great radio on those 8 hour shifts. But it didn't matter. They couldn't put up the numbers that O&A did so the station changed format. Fact? They were the only live content on that station, and getting zero promotion or support after Infinity pulled the plug on O&A and Farrell.  To pin the failure of WNEW post Sex for Sam on R&F is ludicrous.  A single four hour show cannot keep a station together.Also, these 8 hour shifts of live R&F you speak of happened while O&A were still on the station.

we can stop hoping for that
Hence, it's MY FANTASY lineup. Is
the additional show the one from Seattle Opie mentioned a few weeks
ago? I'm just excited to have some new shows that I can give a chance.
Obviously, I enjoy R&F so it's a welcome addition for me. I'd love
to give someone else a shot, too. I gave the current 152 lineup a
chance when I first signed up, and I didn't like ANY of the shows.

The only surprise to me is that a show as good as Ron and Fez doesn’t have a large nation wide following by now.  Hopefully XM can provide them with the audience they truly deserve.   As much as I like O&A , Ron and Fez have the potential to have an even wider audience appeal.  I don’t think they'll take as much "advantage" of the freedom XM will provide.  I guess you can say the Ron and Fez had a Niche audience in that they were restricted by the markets theyve been in.   But, the previous post made an excellent point regarding the success they were starting to have in New York, before the demise of the station.   I really don’t think it should take long for  for the XM nation to appreciate how funny the show really is.   I have yet to hear anyone quicker/funnier than Ron on the Radio(or anywhere else for that matter), and Fez is the perfect sidekick/foil.  It's time for the rest of America to find out how funny radio can really be.
