Ron and Fez to Free FM? [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

I really don't want R-n-F going to FREE radio... O&A show is worse now than it ever has.  Spin it anyway you want the show isn't as good as the 102.7 days when it was free.  There's commercials every 17 minues and it's not edgy or funny.  I don't even listen anymore.  Although R-n-F show would translate better on Free FM than O&A I think it's PERFECT as it is...

if ron and fez leave XM i will leave.  i signed up for O&A, and now i don't like them as much.  since i live in Philly, i only got to listen to Ron and Fez every once in a while on the foundry feed.  hopefully if they go over there they will continue on XM.  cause if they go anytime soon, i'm sure it would have to be simulcast because of XM's contract with them.

I agree, the show is a lot meaner. I also think 5 hours is too much, the show seems watered down more than anything. I think it would be a better show if they were on one station for 4 hours, not both for 5.  I also wish they would replay Ron & Fez earlier the 12am est.  Or just more often.

Well, with O&A vowing to try and go to 10 as much as they can to fuck with JB&Elvis, we're getting even less uncensored O&A, def not a good thing, I wouldn't be surprised if they try and get RnF on terrestrial also. Again, I don't care that much as long as I can still listen on XM, but I'd rather hear uncensored content.

RnF went an hour and 1/2 today before thier 1st break. This morning 24 minutes into OnAs show, right in the middle of Ants story of his girl being involantarily commited, they took a TEN MINUTE comercial break. Ant was having to stumble over words so as not to cuss. Anyone who thinks that a move to FM is good for a show is crazy.The only reason to go to FM is for the cash. I wouldn't blame them for going, as long as they don't feed me "it make the show better" horseshit.

The O and A replay on XM is much better they shorten the comercial breaks drastically. I just wish they would replay Ron and Fez more. I do love both shows though.

I'll listen no matter what kind of radio, but the commercials will suck.  XM has too many anyway so it might not make a difference.O&A blow anyway and are meaner. Don't care what happens to them.

I heard that too, and I think it was more a come back than foreshadowing of any sort. Anyway Its a lttle fucked up how O&A & Jimmy were trashing JV & ELVIS for being in the mid-day slot..when thats where the buddays are...."your not good enough for mornings...etc" fm show blowsI will follow R&F anywhere, even CB radioI hope they stay on XM, onlyI want more replays of r&FI vote for R.A.F.J.

During yesterday's intro, before playing ICP Ron and Fez were screaming back and forth about "finding something in the storage closet." Ronnie asked for the exact date the Bucs won the Superbowl, and Fezzie screamed out January 27, 2003 and the ICP intro hit. Just out of curiosity, I looked on Wikipedia... and January 27, 2003 was the date WNEW flipped to music... Just thought that was a strange coincidence...

I wonder if Ron and Fez will be big as O and A though. Most people like O and A because the sickening bits and the hardcore truth they have. Ron and Fez have alot of referencing and comedic bits. Id like to think of the R and F audience to be a bit more classy. But yeah, Ron and Fez on fm will dominate most.

Last I checked the NY Radio Message Boards, it sounded as tho JV and Elvis are looking to leave FreeFM and make their way back out west.  Also FreeFM is supposedly considering more music in the Afternoons (midday) and thinking of an afternoon/evening drive time show.hhmm.  maybe R+F starts at Noon and goes till 3 on XM, then goes to FreeFM for drive time afterwords..?  The only thing i have really noticed is the last two weeks R+F have been 110%.  And Ron says alot about working blue, and there is no need for it (i know its a bit, but is there truth to it..?).It would be a smart move, but i am not sure that Dave and Earl could handle it, they would have to have an O&A size staff at that point.  Shitty drawls, and febreeze are the weak links.

FreeFM sure seems to be "greasing the chute" for JV and Elvis.  Okay O&A.  Stay on the air as long as you want.  JV and Elvis...shut-up.Maybe they should ditch JV and Elvis and get Sean Hannity to do some radio after O&A on Free FM.  O&A spend time promoting Hannity. "And that's why people hate Hannity...Because he's so talented."  Anyone would look good debating Colmes on FOX.  I'm not slamming Colmes.  I've listened to his radio show and it seems as though he's on the ball on HIS show.  But I don't get what happens to him on the FOX show with Hannity.  I'd say maybe the FOX people won't let him cut loose but that wouldn't fly.  Nor would Free FM tell JV and Elvis to shut-up about O&A.  Nah.  That stuff doesn't go on.I say get Hannity on Free FM.  O&A promote him already. They promote him almost as much as they promote R&F.  And they don't even share the same station.  Do they?  But they share the same studio with JV and Elvis.  And what happens to them?  O&A complained about Stern having management shut them up,  but this sounds similar.  "But it's different,"  scream O&A.  Okay.  Go to your bosses and demand they allow JV and Elvis to speak as they want.  THEN it wouldn't be the same.  Right now it's the same result. They have to shut up about you.  As you had to shut up about Howard.Take an hour off O&A on satellite and add it to Ron and Fez.  Give Free FM all the O&A they want.  And have the $$$ reflect that change. Or how about this?  Air an hour or two of Hannity following O&A on FREE.  Either live or taped because it's always the same message with Hannity.  Then have Ron and Fez follow Hannity for at least an hour on FREE...to balance the one-sided political stink.

O&A on FreeFM is awful. I listened as often as possible when they were XM-exclusives and now I don't even bother with their self-editing, endless commercial breaks and their boring, hacky Howard Stern-formula morning show. We all know that R&F can go to terrestrial radio and kill - they did it at NEW and JFK, but I really don't think Ron and Fez give a shit about being the biggest thing in radio like O&A seem to (as futile as it seems). At this point, I wish O&A would just leave XM completely, stop wasting our time with censored bullshit and Ron and Fez could bring in the Hideout, Perry, etc. and not play second fiddle to O&A. By the way... another speculation thread? God help us. I don't think they're going anywhere. They seem very happy with what they're doing. ALthough I'm sure they could use another hour... maybe another time slot... that'd be nice.

Probably my only complaint about O&A is that XM202 seems to be the all O&A channel..  Ron + Fez certainly can pull their own weight, I wish it was more balanced.  I actually wish they would move this channel more to a Free Format type approach.  Lazlow, Patrice, And some of the other shows mentioned above would make great fill for the other countless hours of O&A replays.  Replays are great, but i always have a radio with me, i work construction, so i don't miss much.  The constant never eneding replays are annoying.   Now to suggesting Hannitizing FreeFM. eeeeewe. fuck.eewwee. they can put him on if i can face fuck you.  very simply.

BLZBUBBA

10-01-2006, 07:39 AM

And what's with all the O&A replays during the day? Sometimes I've missed Ron and Fez and have forgot to record as well.  THEN...I have to wait till midnight to listen to that day's show.  It's like Ron and Fez play the second banana on 202 and I don't get it.  O&A,  R&F, O&A, O&A, R&F.  Shouldn't it be more like O&A,  R&F,  O&A,  R&F,  O&A?  Cmon.  Give Ron and Fez at least ONE drivetime slot.

The censored/uncensored aspect of The Buddaays on free Fm isn't even an issue as far as I'm concerned, they don't need to work blue.The problem with Ron & Fez on free fm is the 15 minutes of commercials every hour. O&A used to go up to an hour and 1/2 between commercial breaks when they were only on XM. Then they went to fm and said the commercials wouldn't be that bad. Well, they are that bad, and I've noticed that the commercials are getting more frequent on the XM side too

Just when O & A get on a roll it's time for a break. I used to listen to Scott and Todd in the AM and Rocky Allen in the PM, but the 'PLJ structured format is even worse. They do a bit for about 5-8 minutes, hit a traffic report, do spots, play one or two songs, come back and do the weather then do it all over again. It's rediculously structured. All commercial radio is. I got the MyFi and paid for a yearly subscription hoping to hear uncensored O&A for four hours then R&F for 3 or 4 hours. I think that dream is dying. Eventually I could see all of them on commercial radio exclusively. BLAH!

i agree that O&A isn't the same as they were all on XM, but i still find myself listening. but now after listneing to R&F for the first time on XM. i will be pissed if they had to go censored. although something would be better then nothing i suppose

You got to remember that there are a lot of us out here in the fringes of the US that can't get them over the air so XM is our only way to get the buddies or ONA.  Having them at all is alot better then the time between moving from long island in 03 and getting my XM. Anything is better than the pathetic drivel spewed on the "free" airwaves.

Ron n Fez do have a more radio friendlier show.OnA have proved that going to fm, for their ego, costs them their talent and have become the typical fm radio show. they are no longer as funny and can hear the forced laughter.I think Ron n Fez are happy in their careers (great radio) and it shows. these guys have nothing to gain except maybe a couple more bags of cash but Ron is a stand up guy. i hope they dont do it.

not being sarcastic at all. First of all, all the shit talking OnA did prior to going terestrial about terestrial radio then jumping over really pissed me off. How can u sell the merits of uncensored radio than make the jump. these guys rolled all the xm listeners and laughed all the way to the bank. unlike those fans who believe everything theyre told i dont. they went from 4hrs of uncensored nearly commercial free radio to this horse shit shift that they do now. i didnt listen to hear tippy toe tom get abused by callers or erock radio i wanted to listen to the boys do their thing. now all we get is them bitching about how tired they are and a fucking dump report oh thats right they also take off an hour early. sorry if things arent up to date but i stopped listening a while back.when i did listen they were no better than The Monsters or Lex and Terry two other shows i dont listen to. their bits are to short, cant really say what they want and tease everything for 5 mins before the break. then you get into how "honest" a radio show and its the same shit all other shows are saying. dont tell me i cant relate to howard because he has a house in the hamptons and the howiecoppter when anthony starts talking about his mansion and car. all these guys are millionaires so we are not the same. not even close. so just be funny for x amount of time on a daily basis and im happy furthermore, dont try to relate to me because you cant. so what am i really getting by listening to their show. not a goddamn. the move was all about ego and money which is fine just admit it. these guys know they have a hard on for regular radio and never had a chance before. now howards gone and the chance came around so they took it. fine. but dont tr to hoodwinke me into beliveing that it was done for any of the xm listeners. the listeners who pay actual money to listen. give me ron n fez without o n a dictating who they can put on their channel and im happy

I don't like what the FM deal has done to the O&A show (way too many commercial breaks now). I just want more of R&F on XM (another hour or two would be great)

Do you guys forget how versitile this show is. Ron and Fez ruled most timeslots on WNEW. In fact they did them all. Mornings - Midays- Afternoon Drive - Evenings - Late nights. After O&A got dropped they did two slots at a time. From Florida to NY to DC to nationwide, they have consistantly brought good consistant radio to us listening. They may have adapted a bit but the show was consistantly funny.

If a move to doing Free FM and XM means more exposure, better time slot and more pay to thse involved in the show, then I welcome it more power to the buddays.

why wouldn't you want what is best for Ron and Fez?? Just because you don't want to listen to commercials doesnt' mean that it is bad for the show.

I trust Ron and Fez to make the correct decision and do what is right for the show.

The way O&A were talking very early this morning, they want R&F to do both stations also. And it seemed that R&F are down for it.

While the FreeFM deal has garnered more guests for O&A I cannot stand the more frequent commercial breaks. That is what attracted me to XM in the first place. Less commercials.While R&F could more easily syndicate to FreeFM (their content is not always cringe-inducing vulgar language and constant deviant sexual commentary) I would really not enjoy them having to hear them have to take more commercials.R&F have such a natural flow... like a couple of friends hanging out in a bar.... talking current events. As for O&A.. the poster above hit it on the head. When I was trying to figure out why I listen to O&A less and less as time goes on, I couldn't really understand why. The fact that they go for the mean angle (Twitchels, Big A, Fatty Pig Fatty, etc) does not resonate with me.I also am tired of the divas (Norton and Friends) complaining constantly. Whether is't management, or Stern or ratings... whatever. They should be considerd successful enough to not get wrapped up in that.Keep R&F primarily on XM and let FreeFM take the audio and edit it. That is the way the FreeFM deal should have been structured for O&A as opposed to having them broadcast live from FreeFM.

The FreeFM thing really crapped out the O&A show a lot. They lose their flow all the time, its like disjointed segments separated by 10 minute bodog rock blocks.

I really enjoy R&F on XM, and hope they stay there exclusively. Who listens to FreeFM anyway, we all have XM. All it means is dumbing down the language, skirting issues, and longer commercials....hmmm stick with XM buddays.

Either way I'll keep listening.

ALL ACCESS hears from multiple well-placed sources that those rumors about veteran talk programmer and former NEW YORK POST radio reporter JOHN MAINELLI getting the nod as the new PD at CBS Talk WFNY-F (92.3 FREE FM)/NEW YORK are on the money, with an announcement coming soon. If and when it's a go, MAINELLI, who programmed WABC-A and WOR-A in the market, will be sort-of-reunited with morning guys OPIE AND ANTHONY, who were at WNEW when MAINELLI consulted that station.  Mainelli was a big Ron and Fez proponent

Do you think that they would put RnF on FreeFM after OnA to compete with the XM half of their show?  I personally like that idea.

XM's effect on terrestrial radio is a non issue especially here in New York where it is minuscule at best. To me it would make more sense to put Ron and Fez in afternoon drive. Why go through all the trouble of bringing them to Free FM just to stick them in a day part that is not your biggest concern. The Radio Chick has done nothing in afternoon drive in the 10 months she has been there. I'm not for pulling the plug after 10 months if it has potential, however the Chicks show has been on multiple times in New York and has never stuck. Maybe her show would be better suited for evenings 7 - 11. I don't like the JV and Elvis program personally but it is to early to pass judgement on them (rating wise) considering mid days are the grave yard shift for young male talk oriented radio. What makes no sense to me is syndicating the Radio Chicks show on the SF Free FM affiliate (she pulled a .2) and not JV and Elvis who from what I hear were number 1 in the young male demo for ever there.

My thoughts on the matter - Perhaps the reason why everyone is being so hush-hush about where and when Ron and Fez are going to end up on XM is because they are waiting to see what shakes out with Mainelli, JV and Elvis, and the rest of Free-FM.  It's all convergent.  There are a lot of possibilities, but I think we'll know more after Halloween.

My point was implying a show on XM could somehow compete with a show on a NY terrestial station is just silly.
