R&F Channel????

[dino_electropolis]

If the proposed merger does in fact go through, would it at all be possible to get R&F on their own channel? I ask only b/c O&A is replayed over and over and over all day, with only 1 replay of R&F. Gimme a channel with 24 R&F, and i'll show you a channel i never change.

[led37zep]

Im not so sure about a channel but I would like it if the reply went o/a into ron and fez instead of two replays of o/a. Let's start there first.

[pittphantoms]

I hated when the Boys were off for a month for something a homeless person said... but I did love being able to listen to the Buddays at any time of the day...

I guess your right.....and i agree.

There are times when O&A have horrible guests who bring the show to a halt, and then we, the listener, have to suffer through the interview 2-3 times that day.......edit that shit out, and gimme a fezatorial.

[MadMatt]

Many people have been asking for this since R&F started with XM, but it hasn't happened yet. I am afraid things won't get better if there is a merger - there is going to be competition for channel space, not an abundance of it.

And Zep - probably the biggest reason R&F don't have an earlier replay is because O&A want to be on during West Coast drive time. They already split the morning drive with R&F. Admittedly it's not great for East Coast fans, but O&A are the 'big dogs' on the channel.

[donnie_darko]

i couldnt imagine a channel playing a single show all day, to even suggest that seems a bit absurd.

get a recording device or find a copy online...

I would kill to have that month all the time.

Somebody, please ask me to kill for this channel, please:wink:

its not about gettin a recording device, its about this:
i drive to work listening to O&A
i take my lunch listening to R&F
i listen at work to O&A (again)
I drive home listening to O&A(again)
i go to the studio, spend three hours, come back to the car and guess what? O&A (again)

Its not the they aint funny, but listening to any one thing 3-4 times in a day has the effect of draining the humor out of it. Mix it up, maaaaaaaaaaaaan!


But what i didnt realize was that the replay had to work with the west coast, so it (unfortunately) makes sense.

Damn you, syndication!!!!

I totally agree with your point. Too much of anything can be bad so if the R&F channel ever did get off the ground I would hope that some of the Saturday Night Virus shows could find a home. Between the live shows, replays, best-of's, and revolving shows by High Society, The Hideout, CT & Jivin etc. a Big Ass channel would be the cat's ass.

I agree 100%. Ron and Fez need a replay from 9-12, not 12-3. O&A would still get their left coast drive slot, and those of us who cant listen outside of comuting and lunch would get a chance to hear both shows after work. Instead we're stuck listening to the same shit we heard from O&A earlier in the day. But then again it is their channel, so its their call.

The Ron and Fez Channel (http://www.ronfez.net/forums/downloads.php): Subscription...Free.

[NewYorkDragons80]

Unfortunately, that's less likely if the merger goes through

-No, because XM hates their customers.

Many people have been asking for this since R&F started with XM, but it hasn't happened yet. I am afraid things won't get better if there is a merger - there is going to be competition for channel space, not an abundance of it...

-perhaps they could drop the "all Led Zeppelin" channel to make room.

-TNT and USA both run "Law and Order" all fucking night long...

XM pre ron and fez...

-Well played, Sir...

[riverofpiss]

What if Ron and Fez just started their own satellite radio company? They could do whatever the hell they wanted, it would be the greatest product going.

Well, Ronnie DOES have that million dollars coming to him from Gap and Fez still has his communion money....that could definitely work as some seed money.

[riverofpiss]

If Fez can't pay for it all himself I'm sure some funds could be raised one way or the other.

[Recyclerz]

As long as I get to hear the Buddays via some method I'll be happy.

Although I'm sure that a Bennington-run channel (with sufficient resources) would be the best thing ever.

A full time R&F channel would be the best.

And I still CANNOT believe that O&A are the "big dogs". I never heard of any of these guys until I got XM, and a far as I am concerned the show quality of R&F is head and shoulders over O&A.

Just does not make sense to me.:blink:

[NewYorkDragons80]

Ryno - They're different shows. O&A have to comply with the FCC for more than half of the show. The other half is MUCH funnier. That being said, I find R&F more entertaining than O&A, even though I love em both

O&A had an EXTREMELY successful afternoon drive show that was syndicated to somewhere between 10-20 radio stations nation wide. Then they got into trouble and had to sit out for a couple years when XM picked them up to lead it's Extreme Talk lineup.

Although Ron & Fez are awesome, Opie & Anthony were on XM for between 1-2 years before they were able to get R&F a gig at XM. The shows are friends and O&A were instrumental in bringing R&F over.

Not saying that it is good or bad, but 202 has always been "The O&A Channel." However, I still wish R&F would get their own channel or at least a better replay schedule.

[riverofpiss]

The fact that OA do the FM show first takes away from the XM show big time. I used to love O and A but now they save most of the good guests for the FM part of the show. They also run out of show half way through the XM content and the last hour of O and A is now unlistenable crap in my opinion.

Hey are you playing "I don't get the show guy"?

[KC2OSO]

It comes down to this: forces unknown to me cause the show to be continually inaccessible through conventional means i.e., am/pm drive or some sane evening slot. This is nothing new. I've been a RF listener for a long time.

I thought XM would solve this. It didn't.

Is there still a show? I have no fucking idea.

I get OnA all morning/evening drive. I can't stream at work for middays and I can't fucking stay up till 3 am to hear a show.

Yeah I know, I can record it and play it back- yadda blah blah.

This show is best viewed live.

Why is it so hard to find some bandwidth for this show? Is dead MLB and the Led Zep channel better? Is the appeal that small? Is that the story? Really?

I doubt it.

I love OnA an Jimmy but I've memorized their show and their fucking festival of commercials by 8:30 am. Then, I get to listen to the exact same shit on the way home.

Like some folks, I have a job/family/life. I haven't been able to hear a complete RnF show in YEARS! WHY!?

Fuck it. This has been hashed to death and falls on dead ears. End of vent.

Double posting fun.

I agree 100%. R&F channel would get more ratings than at least 25% of the crap channels on xm and sirius.

[Fezzie Fun Fun]

As soon as R&F start bringing in the same amount of money as O&A this will happen.

You're too cheap to buy in Inno. Apparently, R&F aren't high on your priority list.
You should also get rid of your job, family, life.
How many replays did you get on WJFK?

I'm in the exact same boat here. Can't stream at work, and even being near the windows, my XM won't pick up inside the building I work in, can't stay up late, job/family etc. And in my case, for some stupid reason, my recording device on my XM player isn't functioning properly and we don't have the $$$ for a new one right now. I do work from home somewhat often, so that's really the only time I can listen to a show. It sucks. :furious:

[dino_electropolis]

You know, after struggling through Fred from Brooklyn's drivel today, i may have to rethink my position on this..........

[samechick]

I wish they'd have an east coast & west coast 202, with the east coast channel being live.

It's not a dig on R&F... I'd much rather have In & Out Burger than any other fast food joint. But let's admit that McDonald's is where the money's at

Actually, it was a dig. Without really getting into it, I think that argument is long since dead and the entire approach to 202 needed/needs to be revisited.

Speaking of inno's, how do I get the "scheduled recorder" to work. Everytime I set a time nothing happens.

[Serpico1103]

They need to atleast change the time slots. I would hear the same O&A hour three times a day; driving to work, driving to school after work, and then driving home after school.
The time is ok for me now, I listen or I record. But I want the boys to have a larger audience. I think they are the best thing going today. And I can not imagine anyone not thinking they are in the top three; howard has his place, O&A are in there, and then there is R&F. No one else comes close.

You have to have the Inno docked for the sheduled records to work.

[sailor]

WJFK (and WNEW) gave them decent timeslots

for those who can listen at work, this is a great time-slot for them. i never get to hear an o&a show all the way thru, it's always in pieces (and with subways, i don't really get to listen during "drive" hours.

and wnew gave them just about every time-slot at one point or another

[scottinnj]

You have to have the Inno docked for the sheduled records to work.

And it has to be docked in a home dock, not in a car dock. And it also has to be TURNED OFF during the recording session. Not as smart as a DVR. Although you can DVR the show if you have a DVR and Directv.

does the inno have an 2go feature (like the tao/myfi) which would allow you to record while listening live? granted it's not programmable, but it's a handy feature when you're out and about.
