Daily News Reports that R&F will have a show on FreeFM from 6pm-9pm [Archive]

01/09/2007 9:00AM - 1:00PM. Mod Hijack:  To avoid confusion, Torker's statement above was speculation from a few weeks ago.  Here's the latest report:<a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/479192p-403116c.html">NY Daily News</a> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody><tr><td>Funnyman Di Paolo grabs some Free time  </td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://www.nydailynews.com/images/editors/header_radio.gif" border="0" alt="Radio" width="143" height="20" />  </td></tr><tr><td>By DAVID HINCKLEY DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER  </td></tr><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="0" width="50" align="right"><tbody></tbody></table>Comedian Nick Di Paolo was apparently so eager to start his new radio show on WFNY (92.3 FM) that he announced it before the station got to it. In fact, a spokeswoman for WFNY's parent, CBS, still didn't confirm yesterday what Di Paolo had posted on his Web site: that starting Jan. 2, he will host noon-3 p.m. daily on Free-FM. The spokeswoman did confirm, however, that he will be giving previews 1-3 p.m. daily from yesterday through Dec. 27. Several sources close to Free-FM indicated the station will also have more changes in January, making the daytime lineup more consistent with its goal of reaching young men. The biggest other change, reportedly, is that Ron and Fez, who are now heard on XM Satellite Radio and were on WNEW-FM when it was a similar kind of hot-talk station, will be coming to WFNY for early evenings, 6-9. Opie and Anthony will remain in the morning, 6-9, followed by JV and Elvis, 9 a.m.-noon. Leslie Gold's show will shrink slightly, 3-6 p.m., and Penn Jillette will move to 11 p.m. Late-evening and overnight shows are also expected to be added. Di Paolo is a hard-edged comedian who's popular on the club circuit - he's doing Standup New York this Friday - and has been a frequent guest on late-night television. He has also been popular on Howard Stern's old K-Rock and now Sirius Satellite Radio shows. </td></tr></tbody></table>

A 4 hour show ?  So are they still going to be on XM?

11-13-2006, 03:32 AM

I doubt they would be on at 9.  They probably won't be on FM till O&A are off XM; so 12 at the earliest.  As far as what day, I guess the same day that O&A get their own channel.  I think that is why they are doing two seperate channels.  O&A's replay can be on during afternoon drive on one channel and Ron and Fez will be live on another.

I think the only way it'd ever work is if they do a Fastest Hour type thing from 9-10 every day and then go do their XM show.

i for one cant wait for them to return to Free FM.  the commericals, silly plugs, stupid rules, fucking ratings books.  god it will be great.   I cannot for the life of me understand why people want R&F or OnA on free FM.  the shows on XM are the real deal.

i think we all agree that the best show ever deserves to be back on fm radio, but if that happens a good part of me will miss the feeling of the uncensored show.  don't get me wrong, it will be great like anything they have done, i just mean when i listened to them on wnew they were great, but to hear them talk like they would if you were just hanging out with them kinda makes it feel like they're your friends now and not a show you listen to

and to try to clear up a misconception, to say they deserve to be on fm radio doesn't nessacarily mean that i want to see it happen.  it just means that i think they have a following strong enough to warrant them being paid the amount of money and given the amount of fame and notariety that comes with being on a top rated fm show.  the rest of my original post should make it clear that i love the xm show the way it is and i would miss the way it is now if it changed

I know some people will be pissed, but this will be great for them personally and the show. They'll have O&A as a lead in, they'll be dealing with a much wider audience. Callers (I know, mid-days) should be better just because they'll be more to choose from, and syndication possibilities. For the show, its a no brainer. Plus, I personally love it because now I can listen live at work. And I'll guess O&A deserve credit getting them back, so props to them.  I still think 7-11 PM makes more sense, but maybe later. . . .

Yes, you are correct, they do deserve to have wider exposure, but I don't really think that Ron gives a crap about things like that, and Fez is happy working with Ron. I get the idea that Ron loves sitting in front of the XM microphone for 2 hours and 45 minutes per day (yeah they take 15 minutes of break per day) and talking about whatever the fuck he wants to. Many times he has said he is amazed how little feedback they get from Washington (either positive or negative). As far as money goes, I have no idea what they make, but again I get the idea that Ron is happy with the work/effort to pay ratio.ps. If I could explain the highlighting thingy easily I would. All I can say is experiment with the buttons above the text area when you are composing your posts.

O&A had no access to bits from the WNEW days until they signed with CBS.  At the end of today's show, Ron mentioned that they'd be replaying a classic call from back in the WNEW era.  How can they do that if that stuff is the property of CBS (formerly Infinity)?Of course it could just be that there is more of a cooperative relationship between XM and CBS since the O&A deal.Am I allowed to fuel goofy speculation with less than 100 posts?

R&F going to free radio would stink....once in a while I try to listen to O&A on free radio and it stinks,with all the dancing around naughty words and such....one possible good thing about a (if they do go free radio) change is ...what will dave talk about-all his hijinx will be dumped...and board gossip can only go so far.Maybe less dave and more Fez is a good thing--no what a GREAT THING!

The only reason I'm keeping XM is for Ron and Fez.  I like the music and all, but if it wasn't for Ron and Fez I'd get a sirius and check out their talk radio shows for a year to let OnA figure out the show and then come back (suprise suprise... they have music too!).  OnA has gone down the crapper for sure in the past year.  I'm tired of being dissapointed and don't want to stop loving the show so if Ron and Fez leave or get their balls cut off by FreeFM then I'll just get rid of my XM... can't seem to keep the damn thing mounted anyway.

Shows like these are made for Satellite radio nowadays. There are far too many restrictions on free radio to allow any kind of real creativity. Not to mention the constant commercial breaks... Ugh! That being said, I would love to hear one more hour of R&F on XM. Three hours goes by too quickly.

billy,  for me the free format that XM is offers is what makes the show better.  no commericals or sponsers to cow tow to.  no real rules.  you think Earl would be able to pick the music that he does on Free FM?  i dont think so.  think the guys can talk about independent films or books?  i just do see.  proof for me is OnA's show isnt as funny now as it was last winter.  Cursing doesnt make the show, you are right, but being preoccupied with keeping things clean kills it.

I still enjoy Opie & Anthony. Opie & Anthony going to FreeFM didn't bother that much because I wasn't a big fan. I enjoyed there show and listened to parts of the show everyday but it wasn't my favorite show. Ron & Fez have been my favorite show since they started on WNEW and in my opinion there shows on XM are the best and there is no show better then or even comes close to Ron & Fez at this point. Even though I'm sure on FreeFM they could do a very entertaining show it just wouldn't be the same.

I am also keeping XM for RNF. I loved ONA but they have definitely slipped recently. I got the INNO just to get all of RNF everyday. Free Fm wouldn't kill their show but it would change it they were great before on regular radio and they could be great again. Ron is a Hero after all. I do like the freedom they have and the way the show flows on XM. They should get their own channel and incorporate all the wonderful people they have that contribute. Cosmic circus, Crazy Jen, Big AAAAAAAAAA, and Paul O (idiot).

The only (selfish) reason I'd want to see Ron and Fez on FreeFM if they move to an evening timeslot.  But that isn't going to happen.   A lot of people complain about O&A and how the quality has slipped, but here's a newsflash: there isn't anything else worthwhile to listen to in the mornings... well, outside of Mr. Imus and Jim Kerr.  But outside of that?  Nothing.   I don't like it when Jimmy takes over the show to complain.  I don't like it when they complain about stupid stuff.  But it's all a part of the show, take it or leave it.  If Jimmy starts going on an unfunny, angry rant, I change the station and come back a little later. Perhaps with Mainelli in place, they'll get a little more guidance for the show.  One of my biggest complaints recently is Jim Norton, who has a PhD in marketing, yelling about the name of the station.  But it seems he's reeled back from that.

I think Ron and Fez are funny whether talking about Dave's dog and jelly escapades, or when putting together a hilarious and clean comedy pyramid (there are some clean ones!). The problem with commercial radio today is threefold; The worst aspect are the breaks. The breaks have become rediculous. The pacing of the shows are terrible. O & A is very tough to listen to on the Free-FM side because of the frequency of the breaks, and the length of each one. The thing I mentioned about the interviews is also a problem. Most of the guests R&F interview are people that the guys genuinely want to talk to. Even though the interviewee is usually there to plug something, they seem to want to be there (most of the time). The least of the problems, but it is still a problem, is the censorship. And when I say censorship, I don't mean the ability to say 'Fuck' or 'Cock.' R&F have never had a problem working without using the "Seven dirty words." The restrictions today, however, are way over the top. Even worse than when they were on WJFK. Just listen to O&A's dump report some days. Some of the stuff Al dumps is insane. I do believe that R&F would be given more slack than O&A. I'm sure the network is very nervous about lengthening their leash. Just listen to some of the stuff Imus gets away with. It's alot more than O&A and he's being simulcast on TV!I just think Ron and Fez are better off on satellite. It's similar to why HBO and other premium networks are begining to make far better programs than commercial television networks. When you allow the writers, directors and producers work without such heavy restrictions there is much more chance for open creativity and a quality program.

If R&F are going to FreeFM, it sounds like it will have to be in a different time slot than they have now...This is from Nick DiPaolo's website, and Allan also posted it on the NYRMB.   BIG NEWS! : NICK IS ON THE RADIONick's new radio show premiers JANUARY 2ND, 2007 Afternoons from noon to 3 pm on 92.3 FREE FM

From David Hinkley this morning... Bob Grant delighted his fans with an hour of vintage Grant talk last Thursday on WFNY (92.3 FM), but program director John Mainelli cautions that it isn't likely to become a daily thing. Listeners can expect to hear Grant "maybe another time or two around the holidays," says Mainelli, and "possibly on weekends eventually." Mainelli was program director of WABC (770 AM) during Grant's heyday there in the early 1990s and he says Grant sounded good Thursday afternoon. "We got lots of positive comments from listeners, clients, the street, etc.," Mainelli says. But Grant's focus has always been politics and current events - as it was Thursday, when he dove directly into the controversial police shooting of Sean Bell. Free-FM's focus is more on lifestyle talk that's often less serious, aiming at the younger men that anchor hosts Opie and Anthony court in the morning. While Mainelli is a publicly declared Grant fan, Mainelli also said when he took the WFNY job this fall that political talk would just be one element of the station's talk, not its centerpiece. Grant, who started in New York more than 35 years ago on WMCA, was fired from WABC in 1995 and moved to WOR (710 AM), where he remained until a year ago. He recorded commmentaries at WOR for several months while indicating he'd still be open to a regular gig. WFNY now has two daily openings: in the 1-2 p.m. Jim Cramer slot and evenings after Leslie Gold. Mainelli said he expects to announce two new shows "very soon." There have also been reports and on-air hints that mid-day hosts JV and Elvis could be leaving, though there's been no official word. Mainelli and station officials have both indicated Free-FM could add some talk on weekends. Currently the station plays mostly rock music - aimed at the same audience as its talk programs - from Friday night until Monday morning.  One is the above mentioned show... the other????

I haven't listened to FREE FM but will turn it on now that Nick and R and F are there. XM must have the dumbest exec's on the planet. My guess is that the 6-9 will be a replay and not a live show. They have to be at least smart enough to give away the entire farm. Right?

Odds are this is something they want and something they've been working towards, so I support them and am happy for them. It's been a long trek back and if anyone deserves to be on the number one market it's R&F. I will be very interested to hear/see the official news when it comes out - is this instead of XM or a compliment to XM? - will this also be heard on XM? - is it the same show now broadcast later and edited for content and commercials? - is there a chance it will be on other Free FM stations around the country? VERY interesting. 6-9pm is such an odd, odd timeslot; 7-10pm would have at least given me some hope of WJFK getting it; if they are live in the evenings, this could be the final thing people have clammored for - the R&F night time show, like the old days (of 2-5 years ago). VERY, VERY interesting.

Dumb question... If Penn is going to 11PM, that mean's there another hour free between the end of R&F's show time... what's THAT about?

What if they did XM 12-3 then do FM 6-9?

Double pay check, no rush between shows?

Dude O&A do much better work on Free FM, who cares about the commercials. Good sources say they will also stay on XM so listen to the XM show.

Bottom line Commercial radio is good for the buddays, better exposure, more listeners, better pay check.

I'm happy for them and kinda sad for myself.  Why do I even have an XM unit anymore?  They keep selling their exclusive content to Free FM.We all started to be fans of Ron and Fez on FM radio, but how great has it become on XM?  Out of all the people between the 2 shows, I think Ron's style was aided the most by no restrictions.This is going to be the same thing that happened to O&A's show.  Too many breaks, sponsors paying for certian things now and their inability to go near certian topics like they did on XM.Do you think they're even going to talk about Dave at all now that they've got the FCC dumping them out?  Everything about his life isn't FM friendly.I'm really not that excited yet, sorry.  But I always wish Ron and Fez the best and will give them a try on Free FM.

We don't even have details yet.If they do the same deal as O&A are doing w/ XM exclusive show as well, I guarantee they will pull it off, unlike the sometimes incredibly boring O&A XM segment where they basically eat for 2 hours.If anyone can pull it off, it's R&F.

I know opie made an offhand comment once that Ron and Fez were crazy, because they wanted to do two completely different shows, one on XM one on FM.  I really hope that's the case.  Where I can get my XM all out fill in the afternoon, then get the censored FM version for the drive home.  I would rather it all be XM though.  I really think OnA's show has crumbled since moving to FM.

The one extra "Fastest Hour" in WJFK middays seemed like burden enough, not to mention that stint (ha!) at WNEW when they did the middays and evenings for a stretch. There were nights they seemed totally crazed. Getting back to the greedy fan/listener, however, I also remember that some of their bestest / funniest shows on both stations were those where practically running on fumes.Hopefully all will be answered soon...!

Ron and Fez definatly don't need to curse for the show to be funny. The show KILLED on WNEW back in the day. Granted the freedom is great but they can easily do both I think.

Maybe I should rephrase that The Opie and Anthony show as a 5 hour entity has improved.
It is better than it was than when they were just on XM. Mind you not quit as good as when they were on WNEW.

Fact is after O&A went on Free FM there guests improved, there material expanded. Although some would argue that the XM side isn't as good. Personally I am not a fan of the - this is breakfast time O&A XM show.

I don't think you could be more wrong about O&A since their move, Martin. That show has become unlistenable for the most part since they went into dual-show mode. I hate their FreeFM version, and because of the FreeFM show, the XM content suffers.  It does make sense from R&F's perspective, and I think they're much more suited to re-adapt to FreeFM than O&A were just by the style of their show. The one good thing that could come out of this is a Ron & Fez channel on XM, now. If they're doing 4-5 hours of radio a day, XM is going to have to accomodate them as far as replays go without cutting into O&A's time (because Opie would never allow it), so I'm hoping that comes out of it. I think it's be a good a tradeoff. And if they get their own channel, maybe they can get people like The Hideout and The Cosmic Circus in the door with XM.

I can't say I disagree with you guys on your points in the show as of late, but O&A always get a little burnt before the holiday break.

Regardless of what you think the move did or didn't do for O&A I have two points.

1. This is all speculation and rumor untill there is news from an official source at XM or Free FM. Untill they sign on the dotted line the deal can fall through.

2. By saying that it is bad for Ron and Fez you are basically saying you have no confidence in Ron and Fez. I have seen those guys pull off shows in more tiem slots and differing conditions than anyone in radio, and continue to do an outstanding show.

So have confidence in Ron and Fez, they will make the right decissions, and the show will continue to go on and be GREAT, no matter where it is.

The whole reason I think O&A haven't made the transition is because the best part of their show when they came back to XM was the different comedians, and them playing off of each other. When you'd get Norton and Vos, or Norton and Patrice, or Patrice and Bill, or whoever and have them, along with O&A talking about different things. Since O&A came back on the air in '04, the show really has switched focus from it being about them, to being about whoever is in that third mic chair. It really is 'The Norton Show' most days, or 'The Patrice O'Neal' show. And there's nothing wrong with that...it came across great on XM. When they moved to FreeFM, though, it castrated a lot of what those guys can do in that regard. And people like to tout the better guests, but I don't think O&A are particularly compelling interviewers. So, the show just isn't as good, when compared to what it was on XM.  Now, with Ron & Fez, they're a little better suited because often times the best part of their show is just them talking about topics and taking calls, or the interviews Ron does. Their show doesn't hinge as much on working blue, or depending on comedians who are funnier when they have the freedom to say what they want. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love them having the freedom to say what they want, but they can do a show that gets close to the type of show they do on XM on FreeFM. All things equal, I'd prefer them to stay exclusive to XM, but I'm sure Ron & Fez are getting a lot out of it, to where it's a tough offer to pass up.

I see everyone calling for another hour of R&F and I'd love it, but... The show being on 3 hours a days always leave me wanting more and more.  Which is why I tune in everyday.  When O&A went up to 5 hours, the show lost its crispness, plus the walkover kills the flow.  R&F being on XM the flow is always maintained from start to finish because of the control they have over the breaks.

AirJordanJoe

12-12-2006, 02:49 PM

I think R&F would do a better FM show than what O&A have turned out but it still would be a let down compared to XM only. I never heard WNEW shows so XM R&F is all I know. And it's not just the curses the FCC regulates anymore, it's also lots of innuendo and the CBS people have their whole list of no-no's too. It would be financially good for them though so it's their show and their call. I blame XM for letting this all happen anyway. They should have demanded exclusive deals when they signed the talent. If not then what are you selling your customers? A simulcast of FCC horseshit and a tired, lame excuse for exclusive content?

For some reason, I def get the idea that this would be a 2-A-Day situation. But imagine...the rock out on XM from 12-3, then they go and have a nice lunch...maybe Fez takes them to Blue Smoke for some BarBQ. After he leaves a $500 dollar tip they mosey back uptown, fresh and recharged for another 3 hours of goodness. Or Ron could use that three hour gap to spend some quality time with his new pal Marty Scorsese.  Oh, and the Neil Young today at the top of the show was a nice musical hint. Forgive me if it has come up already, I am just getting a chance to listen right now...

Ron and Fez, XM Satellite Radio's mid-day buddies on The Virus (ch 202) are reportedly making the jump to terrestrial radio - though not exclusively. FMQB has learned that the deal (reportedly in it's final stages) would put Ron and Fez in the 6pm-9pm ET slot on WFNY. Additionally this will be a completely new show, meaning it's not a rebroadcasted version of the earlier XM show. Back in May, rumors of this deal were abuzz in the board-gossip circles thanks to the sleuthy work of Alan Sniffen. Razzle dazzle!

This is great news.  I agree with the folks who say that Ron and Fez is meant to be an evening show and 6-9 is the second best thing to 7-11.  This must be why Ron has been getting Fez back into the show and working on their timing during the past 2 months.  I'm looking forward to the return of the comedy pyramid.  Any chance we can bring back Billy if he's not currently working?I wonder when the XM exclusive content will be.  Will RnF "walkover" and do 9-11?

Congrats to Ron & Fez if this deal actually happens.

While this is great for the buddies' career, I hope they are able to pull it off better than O&A. While I agree that O&A do pull better guests and keep the show moving on the CBS side, I think XM listeners got the shaft. The commercial breaks every 20 minutes during the first half of the show are extremely annoying, and playing "worst of" bits during the breaks completely ruins the continuity of the discussions. Also, by the time they get to XM O&A are obviously tired and hungry... they just don't seem to be as energetic as they used to be on XM.

One of the best things about R&F on XM is the fact that they have very few commercial interruptions. Some days they can talk for 1.5 hours without interruption.

I would also hate to see R&F move to an evening time slot on XM, because so few people listen to the radio after they leave work for the day. Ideally, I would like to see them keep their 12-3 show on XM, and do a separate show on CBS.

This is GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! Because of work, I haven't been able to hear them live since JFK. If you hear a guy to be calling in named "Bulldog" or "Steve" making a complete ass of himself, you'll know who it is.

FMQB has learned that the deal (reportedly in it's final stages) would put Ron and Fez in the 6pm-9pm ET slot on WFNY. Additionally this will be a completely new show, meaning it's not a rebroadcasted version of the earlier XM show. Back in May, rumors of this deal were abuzz in the board-gossip circles thanks to the sleuthy work of Alan Sniffen. Razzle dazzle! If this happens, they will do the XM portion first.  If they are "tired" on the second half, at least it will be on the FM version.  <img src="/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/happy.gif" border="0" width="20" height="20" />  I think that I will still enjoy the FM portion though.  EAST SIDE will get a late start of drinking on Fridays!

this is bullshit, part of me thinks everyone should hear the buddays and part of me wants to keep them for myself..the fm deal hurt the xm O&A show and it will hurt r&f too...besides the commercials and cursing etc they will have to "save" certian things for the fm show (like o&A do) i like the fact that the r7f show is so "organic" and "who gives a fuck" and "relaxed" on xm..it makes for a better show and plus we cant hear dave fucking jelly stories, and ron can't call dave a fuckig red headed retard, which he is

I hope this doesn't ruin Ron and Fez. Their show is great. I don't want them having to do alot of commercial breaks. O&As show has gone downhill since they signed the deal. I'm not going to complain until I hear the first couple of weeks. By the way, This website is fucking incredible. I can listen to all the old Ron and Fez that I never got to hear. Now I love them even more. You guys don't mind if I post hear and Wackbag do you?

I've got to be honest, I'm a little saddened by this. I have no reason why but I am.I would be really excited if, like mentioned previously, they were on XM for the free fm version as well. Seeing as I'm a little out of range to pick up their new stattion and I'm not too sure about online streaming I'm a little concerned about missing the show.

So it's either two-a-days, or an XM/CBS show. Don't quote me on this, but with the way everyone is talking in the news and people in the know, like Logan and Anthony, it sounds like they are leaning towards two-a-days.So here are the big questions as of right now: 1) Is two-a-days, 12-3 and 6-9, or a show similar to O&A's setup, five hours, with two hours exlusive XM content?2) If the show is similar to O&A's setup, will it be 4-9, or 6-11? 3) If it is two-a-days, will both shows be heard on XM, or will just the 12-3 show be on XM, with the 6-9 show be on FNY only?4) With the night slot open at WJFK, do the boys get syndicated back down there?5) What happened to the Virus going all-O&A?  Am I missing anything else?

Not sure how anybody here can argue that more Ron and Fez is a bad thing.  Maybe we should just have faith in the radio show we know and love and leave the hate where it belongs...on Dave.

Here's some points to make... 1)  We still get Ron and Fez, no matter which way you look at it.  If we get 3 hours, 5 hours, or 6 hours, we still get to listen.  XM still will get the best.2)  They know what they're doing, why should we doubt their motives?3)  We should be supporting them, not beating them down for trying to better themselves. <ul><li>Question:  Do Dave and Earl get to produce 2 shows, or will they have a seperate set of producers for the Free FM show?   </li></ul>

They shouldn't work 2 different shifts (the fastest hour routine was ridiculous).  If the XM exclusive cannot be arranged to be right after or right before Free FM just leave them alone with the 6-9 slot.  It's going to enough great radio anyway.  Thinking in terms of maintaining a buzz during Friday Night Parties For Guys Who Don't Get Invited to Friday Night Parties it's better to put the XM exclusive before anyway because they don't allow drinking for the most part.I guess the pro is that the buddies will finally have a working phone system.  The con is that I'm not sure Ron can wake up early enough to get to work by 6PM.

i see this as a win~win. the only problem is no more 18 hours of OnA. (is it?) i know someone will complain about that.

All the people saying that they are a little sad because they only want to hear them on XM, are not from The TriState area...They do not know how funny the show was before they moved to DC..I can not wait to hear them on FM again..

I agree with the poster above me.

I am baffled you guys think Ron and Fez will have a "tired" section of the show (the second part whereever that will be).

Unbelievable. The buddies did a year of back to back 4 hour shows on WNEW. That's 8 hours of radio (not five as we are speculating now). THEY WERE F-ING briliant.

Personally I think it's sour grapes, kinda like "I want R&F all to my self on XM" Very selfish.

Callers into the show that only have XM are horrid, worst callers ever. Barely a comedy pyromid in a month thanks to the racist hayseeds. FM= Better Callers that get funny.

If they keep a 3 hour XM shift and do the FM show on top of that, that would be great.  But I don't understand how anyone could say that a censored FM show loaded with commercials is better than a free-form XM show.  I don't give a fuck about big time guests and "hip" callers.

The only thing I'm at all personally anxious about is whether or not the FM show will also be on XM.StupidGirlllll wrote: They do not know how funny the show was before they moved to DC.. And many people still don't know how funny the show actually was in D.C.
