Congratulations to the Ron & Fez Show on their first FreeFM Ratings Book

[mikeyboy]

Ron said during the FreeFM show that they just got their first ratings book for their FreeFM show. Ratings are something that the show doesn't dwell on on-air, so it was little more than a passing mention and a thank you to all the listeners supporting the show. Ron didn't say what the ratings were (and the ratings of the individual shows aren't traditionally released to the public), but he did say that they were very pleased. So congratulations Ron, Fez, Earl, Dave, Pitzy, Lilly, Shelle and anyone else who has a hand in the FreeFM show on this great success. You all do a hell of a job and deserve the all of the listener support that the show has received.

Gimme an R!

[feralBoy]

Congrats ron and fez. It's a weird feeling, when you know something is great, yet you want everyone else to agree with you. I'm just glad because that fat fuck hack artie said Ron and Fez have no ratings the other day, and that kinda pissed me off.

[Landblast]

Everyone come see the greatest show.

Another lie coming out of the Stern show... Shocking! I don't know how anyone listens to that uninteresting garbage. Anyway congrats to Ron & Fez! Best radio show period!

[Reephdweller]

From the dentists site....WFNY overall is slightly up. I'm curious how the show itself did.

WLTW - 6.2 (down from 7.1)
WABC - 3.5 (up from 3.3)
WWPR - 3.2 (down from 3.5)
WKTU - 2.8 (up from 2.7)
WWFS - 2.7 (up from 1.5, knocking on KTU's door)
WQCD - 2.6 (down from 3.2)
WCBS-FM - 2.2 (up from 2.1)
WFAN - 2.1 (down from 2.6)
WPLJ - 1.9 (down from 2.1)
WFNY-FM - 1.3 (up from 1.2, right behind PLJ)

[Arch Stanton]

Mikey you nailed it. I listened and was so excited to hear this HUGE news. As Mikey pointed out, they rarely bring it up, so it is great news. I immediately called some buddays to let them know.

It is the beginning of great things to come. I am so lucky to be along for the ride. And what a ride it is!

[Ron Bennington]Ronfez.net is the message board of the show. If you want to know anything about the show, that is where you go.They also have a listening thread there every night.[/Ron Bennington]

Great work by all involved.

[Reephdweller]

From Radio and Records website's ratings, again it's not drilled down to the shows, but the ratings are up. (http://www.radioandrecords.com/RRRatings/DetailsPage.aspx?MID=184&RY=2007&RQ=1&MP=0&OTHER=2&MN=New%20York&MS=NY&MR=1&12P=15291100&UP=4/30/2007&SU=CM&BPER=17.7&HPER=21.2&OPER=&NSD=5/29/2007&CE=0)

Ron and Fez continue to show themselves as professionals and ratings generators no matter WHAT. Bring on short porches, bring on shitty overall station line ups, bring on Fez breakdowns, bring it ALL.

Ron and Fez always show up, they do it right and then they go home.

Congrats boys, you're the best radio show I've ever heard, easily.

Absolutely not.

And in all seriousness, being a fan of the show (and the hosts themselves) is a pretty special thing.

When Ron and Fez say "Hiya, budday" it's not just a catch phrase. You really feel like a buddy of theirs. When they hang out with you all night at a bar you don't feel like you're hanging with a couple of radio hosts, but rather a couple of good friends who happen to be on the radio for a living.

[mikeyboy]

who else hangs out on a sidewalk talking about their problems or asking about yours or helps you light your cigar? Clooney? Sinatra? Martin? those saps could carry the bags of Ron & Fez and Crew to the limo coming off the red eye.

[Reephdweller]

None that I have ever seen or heard of goes to the lengths that Ron & Fez do for their fans.

[AKA]

Congratulations!!!

Not a doubt in the world that they would be bigger, badder and bolder than before!

[AKA]

Has any show ever been as good as they are to their fans?

Stern takes his fans for granted; O&A appear to be scared of many of their fans; D&M out right hate their listeners - the only ones that seem come close to R&F in this category are the Hideout guys, which would only make sense.

[Friday]

Admittedly, I got a little teary eyed in the car when they mentioned this today. Its so great to have the guys back in NY and to be a part of the whole experience all over again.

Thank you to the buddays for bringing us all together... and for rocking the phat ass on a nightly basis!

[PapaBear]

They've always been rated the highest in my own book, but it's good that the rest of the world (well... New York) feels the same!

[Sarge]

Congratulations Buddays!

[Mr.Pants]

Brilliant!

[SPeeDy_Freak]

Kudos to the budays for the ratings.

No surprise from my perspective on the show becoming popular. It is positioned to have a borader appeal and I hope the upward trend for R&F continues.

[cupcakelove]

This is really great news.

[EliSnow]

Brilliant!

It's bloody brilliant. Glad the lads showed them wankers what for!

[Redding]

congrats buddays free fm needs to syndicate them so i can hear the show on my drive home...

[A.J.]

True that. I was nervous when I first met them at WJFK but they came off as regular guys: very humble, welcoming and friendly. That's why I always talk them up to the unenlightened...and why I wish them every success.

Now if we could just get them back on WJFK. Even on a replay.

[Earlshog]

Great to hear the show is picking up where it left off on NEW.


make sure to spread the word to your friends, colleagues, mailmen, sex slaves, etc about the show. Word of mouth works wonders. The station is pulling a 1.3, an abysmal number. The more listeners the buddays have the more leverage it gives them. If R & F and O & A demonstrate they can pull numbers in key demos it will buy the format more time, or help them both land somewhere else should CBS whack Free Fm.

[blacknoi]

Good job guys.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

I'd imagine the internet stream doesn't factor in the ratings but I'd bet that R&F is the most popular FreeFm stream.

[fredlie]

Congrats to Ron and Fez for quietly kicking ass.

[STC-Dub]

Very good news, congratulations buddies, and I hope the rating continue to rise.

[rckiller]

and they don't even count us hayseeds!

[lleeder]

I was so happy to hear the boys got good news on the ratings. Thats even with all the shortporch interference. Just from talking to people at work I can see the show growing everyday. More and more cross sections of people I talk to seem to dig the show. I look foward to Ron and Fez completely taking over NY.

[mikeyboy]

As an update, tonight, in passing, Ron referred to it as a "monster book". That's awesome. I'm so happy for them.

News like this makes me want to cry. I now know how girls feel on their wedding day.

I guess that means bar 9 may be more crowded than normal this friday.

[K.C.]

Very proud of the boys...I'm just kind of curious is it's a 'monster book' in relation to what used to be in that timeslot, or just a 'monster book' in general for New York radio.

I'd have to think the former, just because WFNY is doing so badly...but progress is definitely good...anything that's boosting ratings at that station at this point has to be seen as a major plus and work in Ron & Fez's favor.

[TonyBagels]

Ron and Fez continue to show themselves as professionals and ratings generators no matter WHAT. Bring on short porches, bring on shitty overall station line ups, bring on Fez breakdowns, bring it ALL.

Ron and Fez always show up, they do it right and then they go home.

Congrats boys, you're the best radio show I've ever heard, easily.

Bring on the round table with Blowhard. Bring on the calls from DMM! :bye:

Congrats Buddays!!

I figured it must have been for them to even be mentioning it.

Now if we could just get them back on WJFK. Even on a replay.

Man, a WJFK midnight replay would rock the phat ass - really like when they first appeared in the night!

[bobrobot]

RnF are scary talented, so of course they'd have a monster book (they hafta keep it in a cage!!!)!!!
http://www.hp-lexicon.org/images/chapters/pa/c04--the-leaky-cauldron.jpg

[HoddTilliard]

According to the Radio Dentist, this is all a figment of Ron's imagination because the radio dentist has no substantiation of said rating, so therefore it doesn't exist. The Radio dentist is loathe to allow anything positive about Ron annd Fez to be posted on his radio dentist board because he hates the boys more than he hates someone with perfect teeth. Congratulations to Ron and Fez for a bangup book.

[Sweet Escape Artist]

New York loves Ron and Fez. I bet a strong part of that book is loyal old school fans who were just waiting for the buddies to return. Way to go Mr. B, Mr. W and Dave! Also to a lesser extent, way to go Earl.

So what's Sniffen's problem?

[KnoxHarrington]

So what's Sniffen's problem?

And how exactly did a dentist become this "authority" on radio?

Looking over other posts on this, I think I know what might be going on. He doesn't like the show, of course, but he's also got this running thing about how FreeFM is failing and should be replaced, possibly by a country station (for all the hayseeds in NYC). This shows that many people do not share his opinion, and that FreeFM can, with the right people, be successful.

He's a douche who should stick to fondling patients out on nitrous.

[PilotJeff]

The dentist's problem is he doesn't "get" the show, which is easy to do without a sense of humor. It makes me wonder if he's called in a few times and didn't get a laugh or never got through and has a deep emotional scarring from it. Either way, he's deleted quite a few of the posts over there until this last one. Thanks to John M for shutting him up by posting the numbers.

[AnnoyedGrunt]

In that thread he says that he finds Ron and Fez 'boring'. I'm glad that I can't relate to him.

[Hottub]

He obviously does not get it. Though the numbers may still be low, the jump is huge!
Get a sense of humor, and listen to the only Radio Dentist that matters;

Drjoek!!!

[JPMNICK]

the jump is 3 times in some of those demo's. at this pace which i am sure they can sustain, it will only be a year away until they have the entire NYC demo listening to them

[J.Clints]

Way to go budday great job

[lifeforms]

Congrats ron and fez. It's a weird feeling, when you know something is great, yet you want everyone else to agree with you. I'm just glad because that fat fuck hack artie said Ron and Fez have no ratings the other day, and that kinda pissed me off.

I don't know who Artie is...but why would anyone attack R&F. I've never heard them even mention another show besides O&A so what is guys deal?

[docgoblin]

I don't know who Artie is...but why would anyone attack R&F. I've never heard them even mention another show besides O&A so what is guys deal?

It was the fat no-talent pig Artie Lang. He's Stern's resident comedian and he constantly lies about O&A's and R&F's ratings just to pacify Howard's giant ego. Artie really chose the best radio show to help him get exposure. With Stern's help his movie "Beer League" became one of the biggest bombs in the history of motion pictures. It even did worse than "Cabin Boy." Stern and Lang deserve each other.

[boken-a]

It's time to give the awful Radio Chick the boot and give the boys afternoon drive. It would be the best thing for NYC, the listeners and free fm.

Get rid of Earl too. It's time for some fresh blood. Ahhh....Ummm....Patti Smith?

[yeti]

What the hell, there the best thing to come along on XM and shit fm radio. Hats off.

[kayugo]

ok and them too

New listener, new poster.. IM LOVING RON AND FEZ! oh and OANDA too but this is about RON AN FEZ! I listen on my XM on the west coast. Was turned on to it by my hubby a 2 months ago and I listen more than him. Well, cause I've got the cool desk job.

CHEERS!!

[RogerPodacter]

west coaster here too! R&F are pure genious comedy and radio show. i'm from philly, so i noticed out here in cali that you just dont get that good "east coast" humor at all. dont know what i would do without ron and fez to listen to. go crazy i assume.
