R&F Schedule Change: It's Official

[mikeyboy]

<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202&refsrc=homepage_bb" target="_self">R&amp;F are listed on XM's website as running from noon - 3:00</a>

[GlassJoe]

Why?&nbsp; Fucking why?&nbsp; Why is it so goddamn hard to move them to drive-time and not an even shittier mid-day slot?<br />

[Hottub]

<p>Starting at noon sucks. That also takes them out of west coast A.M. drive!!!</p><p>But &quot;BIG THINGS ARE COMING&quot;</p><p>Fuck You!!</p>

[Don Stugots]

this blows donkey dick

<p><a href="mailto:eric.logan@xmradio.com">eric.logan@xmradio.com</a></p><p>I have no idea what R&amp;F want, or how they feel about the move, but I plan to&nbsp;send Mr. Logan an e-mail and let him know that I'm an R&amp;F fan who bought XM solely to hear R&amp;F, and I'm not particularly thrilled about the time change.&nbsp; Maybe they wouldn't get shoved aside if XM knew they had a vocal and strong fan base.&nbsp;</p>

[jagsfans]

<p>I record the show on the MiFi so I can listen when I work at night so drive time would be worse for me.&nbsp; I go to work @ 5 and if the were 3-7 I would have to hear 2nd half of the show and then the 1st half.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p>

<p>I hit send, and got an error message.</p><p>That'll show 'em!</p>

[Plethora]

<p>Before everyone clamors for a separate channel for R&amp;F -- just wanted to point out that there a bunch of folks that are happy today because R&amp;F on 202 are back on DirecTV.&nbsp; So if you're emailing asking for R&amp;F on another channel, add that you'd like that channel carried on DirecTV too ;)</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[suggums]

<p>everyone keep sending the letters!&nbsp; im glad no one has posted a pre-formatted one to just cut and paste, because if everyones saying the same thing but differently there's a better chance someone will listen.&nbsp; if the pests could get them back on directv we could definitely get something better going here.</p><p>assuming, of course, that ron and fez want a different time slot too.&nbsp;</p>

[curtoid]

<p><strong>Personally</strong> 12-3 pm works better for me than 11am-2pm - HOWEVER - it still isn't as good as a drivetime slot - AND - it still sucks that it's only 4 hours (while O&amp;A now get 6 hours).</p><p>Whatever.</p>

Nice to see you guys giving Ron &amp; Fez the
respect they deserve. You can't give them a better time than 12pm-3pm?
O&amp;A will RARELY go all the way until 12pm, which means many days of
Worst Of airing from 11am-12pm (not to mention the bit of worst of that
will go from 9am until the elevator gets them up to the XM
studio...what a cluster-F of an idea this dual studios thing is). <br /><br />3
hours of mediocre Free-FM show (which boils down to maybe 2 hours of
satellite show, minus free speech) with really an only promised 1hr40
minutes of XM show...I'm perilously close to cancelling my subscription
when I have to accept that garbage and the Ron &amp; Fez show gets
treated like a red-headed step-child. I'll listen to the free stream of
the Free FM show and see if I can find free O&amp;A &amp; Ron and Fez
XM bits and pieces on the 'net if I have to. <br /><br />Great...XM gets
free advertising...O&amp;A make more money...the XM O&amp;A fans get
less gooder radio...Ron &amp; Fez get pushed further into Radio No
Man's Land.<br /><br />Thanks a lot.<br /><br />Regards, <br />Kevin Huxford <br /></p>

[BurtLancaster]

Ron and Fez always seem to be pushed around to whatever shift &quot;others&quot; want. Shit here in Nova they were doing two fucking shows on JFK at one point. An hour at midday then the normal show from 7-11, or whatever time it was.<br />

Ron: try to get it back to where we're just doing nights.

It is that there seemed to be no care taken regarding the R&amp;F show at all. It is bouncing around at the whim of the O&amp;A show.

[Dan G]

Remember when Opie was making fun of mid-day hosts for having such a shitty time slot?
I think Ron and Fez need napkins to wipe that spit from their faces.

<p>the argument you guys are posing makes sense, and i totally understand it. however&nbsp;for me things havent really changed.&nbsp; the timeslot sucks, but im still able to listen most of the time.&nbsp; i do wish they would get 4 hours, and move to nights.</p><p>im not trying to be difficult, just trying to gauge where everyone is coming from.&nbsp; i did shoot logan an email, fight the power.</p>

<p>I just think everyone here should stop playing R&amp;F's agent and just enjoy the show. I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I still don't understand it. You are talking about exposure to a subset of a subset of a subset. Only those who subscribe to XM, who live on the West Coast, who listen on the morning drive.</p><p>And if you are really are concerned with exposure, why would you want them moved to another channel? Do you seriously want to banish R&amp;F to the wasteland that is 152? If not there, where? On 202 they will always have the biggest and most compatible lead in on XM.</p>

[MobCounty]

I showed my support. The time slot works for me personally, but I don't want them to get totally&nbsp;overshadowed by the oanda machine.

[SinA]

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>We just want everyone to know that Fez Whatley has a posse.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>that reminds me, when do I get my card?</p>

[BoondockSaint]

I really don't care what timeslot R&amp;F are in becase in most cases I can't listen live anyway so I record it on my MyFI.&nbsp; What I don't like though is that this just seems to be another slap in the face to R&amp;F.&nbsp; It just seems like they never get any respect from management and if they are unhappy it hurts the show.&nbsp; So if they really want the the 12-3 slot then I'm happy for them but I just get the feeling they don't.

[Earlshog]

If that is true as far as I can tell, they are still happy cause the show sounds great...

[Terragen]

<p>I don't see the point of writing an email until I see the changes
happen. I guess we just all know that RnF will be screwed like usual...
I agree, I've been unhappy since day one with RnF's shitty timeslots,
and that goes back to WNEW days. I bought XM SOLELY for Ron and Fez;
OnA and baseball and tunes are the bonus, but I'd pay 13$ a month for
24/7 RnF</p><p>Looks like it might be time for them to move back to WJFK!&nbsp;&nbsp; (kidding of course)<br />

OK OK I'll write the email! I only meant waiting like 2 days to see
what happens Wednesday, but its always good to show the XM bosses that
Ron and Fez deserve so much better! And they will never really
complain, being the stand-up fellas they are. <br />

Why would I be happy for Ron and Fez to go back to FM radio? They're already on a national scale, the Free-FM stations that are carrying O&A are only in 7 markets.<br>
Besides, I pay to hear radio free of restrictions. I'd be pissed off if I were a fan of O&A right now, knowing 3 hours of my day would be listening to them tip-toe around things they can or can't say.<br>
Also, I wasn't implying that this was an issue between Opie and Ron and Fez. More along the lines of Opie pointing out a horrible time slot and then XM putting them in that slot.

</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[Reephdweller]

<p>Perhaps it's crazy talk to think that things will work out ultimately. <br />Perhaps this time slot is temporary for Ron and Fez as they will have a nice lead-in<br />from the O&amp;A show. For all the gripes that those who just hate O&amp;A have, to me it just sounds like they want Ron and Fez's potential new listers (who may) come over to XM to have exposure to their show as well and give them even more listenership. Heck it's even possible that perhaps O&amp;A will be very successful and will have the ability to add other programs to Free FM...such as Ron and Fez, and what better way to sell it to CBS Radio than that Ron and Fez have demonstrated time and time again for years now that they are dependable. The thing is, I don't know, and neither do you. Instead of taking the perspective that this is all one big ass fuck heaven forbid you even let it go a day or a few weeks to see what happens. Heck you might hear in a few days that Ron and Fez are coming to Free FM as well. How will you feel then? Instead of bitching and whining just give it some time. I have yet to hear one on air comment from Ron or Fez or anything that sounds to me like they are miserable. Perhaps it's just possible that they are happy with where they are at. I know I am just a blindly following &quot;pest&quot; who just eats everything they say and takes it at face value. Wrong. I am someone who has listened to these shows for years and is a huge fan of both and only wants the very best. I am happy for O&amp;A and feel they should enjoy this time because they've earned their places back. At the same time I am hopeful for Ron and Fez as well though I am going to wait a little longer to see how things all pan out before I make a decision I am just thinking positive for now.</p>

[Gvac]

<p>I sent a polite e-mail to Mr. Logan urging him not to take Ron and Fez or their fan base for granted.&nbsp; </p><p>I know we're not privy to what is discussed behind the scenes, but it would be nice to see XM acknowledge the talent of Ron and Fez and the loyalty of their fans.&nbsp;</p>

[saveopieanthony.net]

<p>I'm a fan of both shows, although started with O&amp;A more until R+F grew on me. However, not to sound snooty, but O&amp;A are a bigger name than R+F.&nbsp; THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT...IT'S NOT A CONTEST.&nbsp; Both are funny shows that allow me to get through the work day. </p><p>From the beginning i've wanted a four hour R+F show in the afternoon...but that's something O&amp;A don't want to give up (PM Drive east and west coast).&nbsp; With their new deal they won't have anything on the west coast on cbs radio (adam carolla) so they are not going to let that part go. </p><p>Honestly by the end of the year I think O&amp;A /R+F will have two stations like Howard 100 and Howard 101 on Sirius, with O&amp;A anchoring&nbsp;one station (with replays throughout the day) and R+F anchoring the other, with O&amp;A comics like Patrice and Bill Burr doing shows surrounding R+F.&nbsp; </p><p>Can't we think back to when NONE OF US HAD O&amp;A OR R+F AND HOW MUCH THAT SUCKED?</p><p>we have both of them and people are arguing on wackbag about &quot;the show is going to change&quot; and &quot;why am i paying&quot; and here about how r+F are on an hour later.&nbsp; let's enjoy...maybe ask Eric logan for another hour of R+F instead of bitching about the starting time would be a better way to get what we want. </p>

[Rockvillejoe]

<p><font size="2">Everybody should chill and not jump to any conclusions. My take is that R&amp;F were willing to take anything remotely better than their self perceived banishment to Fairfax, Va. They were offered a job in NYC, better pay, mass market, and no censorship. They jumped at it. O&amp;A, being the ego-maniacs and shrewd businessmen that they are, laid down the ground rules. They will own drive times on both coasts. Take it or leave it. Ron has said in the past, he deosn't give a shit when they or if they replay the show-his words. I assume their getting bumped an hour late is to accomodate o&amp;A's extended show. Hopefully, when the smoke clears, XM will realize what they have in R&amp;F and give them another channel. The real question is, what can we, as fans, do to expedite their more regular airplay? Should we take a chapter out of O&amp;A's pests?&nbsp;</font>&nbsp;</p>

[Reephdweller]

<p>However, not to sound snooty, but O&amp;A are a bigger name than R+F</p><p>Personally I think that Ron and Fez are completely in control of their destineys, this move by O&amp;A proves that you can go to satellite and with some hard work make your way back to regular radio. I honestly believe that R&amp;F are happy with their positions and places and just want to do radio their way, I don't think they are trying to light the world on fire but rather to exist and have fun. Whereas O&amp;A have something to prove on their own. These are two shows with very different agendas and ways in which they go about doing things. It's what makes them so unique and amazing. I love the take charge in your face style of O&amp;A radio, but I also love the laid back approach that Ron and Fez have. </p><p>Ron and Fez could easily go the O&amp;A route and do edgy radio and they would be a huge success, though again I think it comes down to the style and the path that Ron and Fez want to take their show. In essence I think Ron and Fez are a big success in their own right because they can do the kind of radio they want and their happy. I am confident that good things are in the future for Ron and Fez.</p>

[DirtyJersey]

This makes me mad, but nothing will compare to the anger I had when I turned on 102.7 one fateful day to listen to Ron and Fez, and Pink's new hit song was playing. I thought it was a joke and continued listening and then when I realized they were gone, fury and rage overtook me. Nothing will compare to that fateful day I can tell you.

Time to break into the old RF Satellite Radio Speculation Thread

[angelinad128]

I listen @ work and I like the new time slot.&nbsp;My workday ends @ 4 so now it will fly by.&nbsp;

[curtoid]

<p>On a very personal level, I like this timeslot - I divide my time between jobs - one I can listen to the show at, and another I can't. On Wednesdays I can't hear the show at all, but Fridays I can hear the whole show.</p><p>It has been that I'd miss the 11-12pm timeslot, because of when I got off from Job A, but now I'll be able to hear everything. The only thing that sucks for me is Job A might become the lone job soon, so I'll have to refigure my schedule with the show. Whether if it's 3 or 4 hours really doesn't effect me as far as listening. A four hour show would just mean my day would go by a little faster. Until then, I'll just enjoy the three.</p>

I emailed elo.&nbsp; I'm basically upset that the show is only 3 hours
and has been all this time.&nbsp; I was hoping that all the schedule
changes would allow for an extra hour or a little bit better time slot
but the show just got pushed around.&nbsp; It seems to me like the
r&amp;f show is more of a nuisance to the channel than anything else,
like they have to fit it somewhere and would almost rather be able to
replay o&amp;a 24/7. <br />

[mikeyboy]

<p>Serious Question -- Does the new schedule make sense to anyone based on what we know?&nbsp; I guess we'll know tomorrow.</p><p>Here's what we know.</p><p>6-9 am - O&amp;A uncensored Free-FM Show</p><p>9-11 am - O&amp;A XM Show</p><p>11-noon - O&amp;A XM Show runover/worst of</p><p>noon-3 pm - R&amp;F</p><p>midnight - 3 am - R&amp;F replay</p><p>&quot;throughout the day&quot; - O&amp;A replays </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here's what we can surmise:</p><p>3-9 pm - O&amp;A Free-FM/XM/runover/worst of</p><p>Why?&nbsp; At least prior to this time, XM has wanted O&amp;A or O&amp;A replay for all drive times in all time zones.&nbsp; Chances are that there will be an O&amp;A replay in PM drive</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So...&nbsp; Here's the question -- what runs from 9 pm until midnight?&nbsp; It's not long enough to replay the whole O&amp;A show, but I suppose they could replay the CBS-FM or XM + runover portion of the show.&nbsp; Maybe not the best choice, because it's replaying only half of a show.&nbsp; It seems to me that 9pm-midnight is an outstanding time for a R&amp;F replay with the new schedule.&nbsp; It doesn't conflict with any drive time for the most part (it takes the last hour of west coast drive time technically.&nbsp; It also opens the door for the following, very clean schedule:</p><p>6-noon - O&amp;A (CBS-FM/XM/runover/worst of)</p><p>noon-3 pm R&amp;F</p><p>3pm - 9 pm O&amp;A full replay</p><p>9-midnight R&amp;F replay</p><p>midnight-6 am - O&amp;A full replay</p><p>rinse, lather, repeat</p><p>[edit: lather, rinse, repeat.&nbsp; I'm retarded]</p>
