Is it just me or is any one else offended when O&A bad mouth midday shows? Seems to me Ron N Fez have way more tallent than any show on radio. If middays are for hacky radio than give me hacky no talent RnF. I'd like to see RnF on their own channel at whatever time the choose.

Midday shows suck (cock) It's afternoon drive here in England and abviously sounds a lot better than it would in the midday. O&A have a point.

Yeah, I cringe a little when Opie says that, BUT when I think about it, the difference between R&F and the shows he is referring to is that R&F aren't a midday show. They aren't a morning show or an afternoon show either.As someone who first started listening in the Ron & Fez.com late night days, they have show they can do a show at anytime of day or night. They adapt to their time slot and go with it. They've proven this time and time again, and in the process shown themselves to be the ultimate team players as well.Guys like JV and Elvis and the other teams who Opie is throwing this comment at are incapable or unwilling to adapt and they themselves think that they are somehow settling by being in anything other than a drivetime slot. Opie knows it bothers them and that why he says it. It would be the same as him telling an anorexic she was fat. The bottom line is if you're good, you're good regardless of when you're on.

I think Ron loves mid days on the east coast...time to sleep in and time to be out in the evening enjoying the city of New York, plus being able to go home and fuck a bag of money who wouldnt want to be in that time slot and being able to do what Mr. Bennington can, afterall ratings dont matter in XM land

The reality is if it weren't for O&A Ron and Fez would still be banished. I would prefer 7-11, but I'll take them anyway they come

If middays are for hacky radio than give me hacky no talent RnF. I'd like to see RnF on their own channel at whatever time the choose. When Opie says that, he's not referring to Ron and Fez.  They're a national show and do 202's drive time morning show for the West Coast, which is a big deal.They're mostly talking about hacky midday shows on local stations, where the stations have to put SOMETHING on but they know very few people are actually listening (compared to drive time).  Their point is a good one when they call people on justifying their bad ratings "because we're on midday."  If you're so scary talented, get yourself a drive time show somewhere else...Like R&F did (west coast), like O&A did (east coast).Slightly off topic, in the end, it seems a fait acompli that R&F will get their own 24/7 channel.  I see good things and bad things in this...it'll increase listener choice and will allow us to hear R&F ANYTIME (the current replay schedule STINKS).  On the other hand, I really like the partnership that is engendered by both shows being on 202.  I'm afraid there will be a disfavorable disconnect when they separate.  Hope I'm wrong on that one.

I started listening to  RNF after they followed the chick on wnew, they were the ones that got me turned onto  O&A. I wish the would go back to 7-11, so I can listen to the whole show

I'm positive it was stated that Bob Eatman got R&F out of their contract with Infinity. Remember Ron said that there were two guys doing overnights in Bumfuck because of what Eatman had to trade Infinity to get them out?

Just to further go astray here, but I think Opie is wrong. Rush Limbaugh (arguabley one of the most sucefull radio show in terms of numbers) in the afternoon.

Opie is just saying that to put other shows down, I don't think he really believes it.

Rush is a different type of show , apples and oranges. For a "hot talk" format on terrristal radio the mid day shift is very difficult to pull numbers. The majority of your demo (Men age 18 - 49) are at work, not listening to the radio.

opie always says he doesn't mean r and f when he says midday shows.  he also says they're all friends and r and f are the only show they think is good and get along with.  we all have friends that might be a certain ethnic background and when we get mad at another one and say something offensive we always look over at that friend and say "i don't mean you, though"

i think ron and fez have the best show on radio regardless of time slot, just find it insulting when comments like OnA made. not the first time or the last. i also think that ron and fez would have landed themselves a gig and would have done fantastic. also not a big fan of OnA dictating the Ron n Fez destiny. Cant wait for them to have their own channel. hopefully it wont be like howards 100/101 where he dictates programing. let Ron n Fez have their say on their channel.Just my opinion. Huge Ron n Fez fan

how can u call out jv and elvis saying they we trying to back out of a beef with OnA  when they said they respected OnA and didnt really mean it yet middays, except for Ron n Fez, is a time for hacks. either you say what you mean or your a lier. Ron n Fez would do just fine without OnA. no questions about it. and to prove it they should have complete control of their new channel.
