[MIKEYDAKEN]

http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/cga0189l.jpg

so when do AFRO get replaced by the love sponge and a tall whiny jew please let me know so I can stop payment. but I'm really sad about this Elo was the only cool suit and now oprah has his balls in a jar

[Epschtein]

well i guess one good thing to come out of this is that surely now O&A will be able to get oprah on the show! YES!

[MIKEYDAKEN]

well i guess one good thing to come out of this is that surely now O&A will be able to get oprah on the show! YES!

Im sure she later accused him of being a masogynist and then babbled on for a bit. Blech I hate that woman.

[DolaMight]

http://www.djouls.com/groove/images/Cee-Lo_Green-Closet_Freak_b.jpg

How many albums must one have before the release of a best of? Cee-Lo has 2 albums if I recall, does this mean that it's a 50-50 combo of the best of both albums.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

this would also explain the sudden sobriety. how did no one see this coming?:wallbash:

[usoilworker]

oh good lord i was going to buy one of those nice component recievers for the house but now i think ill hold off till the smoke clears if o&a rZ&f dont stick round neiter will my xm

[RAAMONE]

Except afterwards he didn't kill himself, she ate him.

It was an exchange deal, XM had taken one of theirs, and now this is the payoff.

Hopefully no one pulls his calls to ONA and gets him fired right away...

[mendyweiss]

Satrad Merger Approval Imminent - 7/10 - Lotsa rumblings that the Federal Communications Commission's long-awaited approval of the satellite radio merger between DC's XM and NYC's Sirius could come at any moment. Later this week or next. The Department Of Justice gave its OK back in March. But the FCC has been working out a batch of possible conditions on the deal. When it happens, look for a big batch of pink slips on New York Avenue as alpha male Mel Karmazin's Sirius will likely come out "on top".....

Here We Go

[Dave's AA Sponsor]

what is the contract deal for R&F?

[MIKEYDAKEN]

almost a year and a half is sudden?

it was my understanding that it has been 4 months so if I'm mistaken fuck me in the ass and call me sally

[mikeyboy]

what is the contract deal for R&F?

No idea. Their first show on XM was 9/12/05, so if it's some kind of yearly deal, that should provide some insight.

[RAAMONE]

it was my understanding that it has been 4 months so if I'm mistaken fuck me in the ass and call me sally

yeah i thought opie said like 4 hundred and something days but i could be wrong...i can still fuck your ass if you want

[ANC]

Hmmmm modquote anyone? :devil2:

[Tenbatsuzen]

No idea. Their first show on XM was 9/12/05, so if it's some kind of yearly deal, that should provide some insight.

Their last show on CBS was in Late July. So one would assume they had a written contract in that window. Deal signed, and then had to do a non-compete or something.

[led37zep]

You heard it everyone. Mikeyboy just hinted the last show for Ron and Fez will be 9/12/08.

[Tenbatsuzen]

And guys... not to freak anyone out (although I will), just because R&F has a contract doesn't mean we'll hear them. CBS paid the buddies for their time on Free-FM and let's not fortget the 2-year time out O&A had back in the Dark Days.

Again, I think a lot of the pink slips that are going to be handed out are going to be the redundant talent. The DJs on the music stations, etc.

I think if there's anyone who is sweating their job right now for 202, it's Wickland.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

and earl

[DOHO@HOME]

Fuckin Earl will skate right on by old Mels axe.
East side will be Mels fun boy and Howards new monkey boy.
I don't think O&A and R&F will be let go alot of other shit shows should see the axe before them.........I hope:wacko:

[AKA]

Reading this I'm reminded of a WJFK-era show from around 2004 when R&F first heard of Eric Logan leaving CBS...is there audio of that anywhere?

[AKA]

You heard it everyone. Mikeyboy just hinted the last show for Ron and Fez will be 9/12/08.

So, what Mikeyboy is saying is that Ron and Fez 7-11pm?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Jesus fucking Christ, stop with the doom and gloom that O&A and R&F are done.

Even if O&A are done - and that's a mighty big if - what in the WORLD makes all of you think that Ron and Fez are done?

FACT: Ron and Fez still had jobs after O&A got fired last time.

FACT: CBS gave Ron and Fez accomodation (even though it meant moving the show to DC)

FACT: Mel Karmazin was running CBS when this was happening.

O&A and R&F *compliment* each other, but they are not TIED to each other. It's not like it's one or the other. Both shows survived without each other.

Seriously. All I hear is doom and gloom. There's no sense in flipping out before whatever happens, happens.

Who's to say that if XM dumps both O&A and R&F, that R&F won't eventually end up on K-Rock?

There's always possibilities.

[MIKEYDAKEN]

hey man I pay the the xm fee so I can panic doom gloom and scream the sky is falling till the cows come home. I have been listening to AFRO since I was 15 and they were running WNEW after sex for sam I went through such an entertainment withdrawal that I could have just as well thrown out my radio. so yes this is a panic or call to arms call it what you will but we need to be ready for the worst. do I hope mel keeps all our boys of course and most likely he will as long as the money keeps rolling in so spread the pay for radio word so all of our days can be AFROcentric

Wait...this has nothing to do with Tony Stewart..its like I don't even know you anymore.

Oh, you pay for XM, so that makes you a special snowflake? Go screw. 99% of us on this site pay for XM.

We tried this last time. It didn't work, unfortunately. And that situation was a LOT more dire than it is now.

There is no reason to panic and act like it's a done deal that R&F and/or O&A are done. We don't know that and we won't know that. There's been no indication in any industry magazines that O&A or R&F's jobs are in dangers.

It's always been that the people who are in trouble are the ones who have "redundancy" with Sirius. DJs on the classic rock channels, that sort of thing.

I'm sure Mel is familiar that O&A and R&F have a hardcore fanbase. If Mel truly has a vendetta against one or both shows, there would be nothing we could do to convince him otherwise.

That's how vendettas work. They aren't rational. And a vendetta is the only reason why Mel would get rid of one or both shows.

[jonyrotn]

Can someone explain to me how getting rid of AFRO would make sound business sense? :unsure: They are both well known, name brand , recognized radio shows, why get rid of something that is working just fine.. :huh:

"It doen't even make sense", to quote a genius..

[MIKEYDAKEN]

yes and thats where my panic comes from. the complete irrationality of it makes me nervous and no amount of protesting will save anyone's job. don't you remember the infamous "when you woke up this morning did you plan on fucking Mel?" I'm not trying to argue with you about this I hope to high hell your right that we who are being panicky petes are just panicking about nothing

[usoilworker]

doom and gloom holey crap i was just upset that afro took vacation. i hadnt even contemplated the fact that they might not return..there job huntin r&f arnt they shit fuck fool us with vacation and there out there lookin for work oh my world is over

[DolaMight]

O&A and R&F *compliment* each other

True. Like a main course of baby diaper mustache with a side of hotsauce in the asshole. They're like ebony and ivory.

[nate1000]

OMG!!!! If you re-arrange the letters, ericlogan=club stinky!!!!! :thumbup:


























I hope someone remembers the speculation from the dark days. If not this gets a big trainwreck.

[Unshavenfan]

I missed it. Did Elo have a last call in with O&A?

Did he say " Your Moms Box?"

[tileslinger]

Oprah Unmasked

[STC-Dub]

That would be the unmasked I would not listen to.

[STC-Dub]

But I cannot wait for the Harp Marx unmasked.

[KnoxHarrington]

Ronnie B's first show for Harpo will be a whole series on finding your true calling and discovering the secret to life...by taking massive amounts of drugs, especially acid.

"It doen't even make sense", to quote a genius..

Have they ever revealed how many subscribers listen to O&A and R&F? I thought it was hinted at once before, at least in terms of O&A, and that it wasn't a huge number.

Then it comes down to the cost of what you pay for each show (talent, production, staff, studio) versus what you're going to replace it with, and whether or not the potential subscriber drop-offs would offset the money saved.

It's almost impossible to tell, because there's no real public numbers on who listen, and whether or not O&A and R&F are the primary reasons they listen.


I will say this though...it's completely crazy to think that they'll dump 202 because of some age old Stern/Karmazin vendetta. Those guys like money. If they can turn an extra three cents profit a month off O&A and R&F being on the platform, they will.

If they do get dumped, it would be a total cost-saving move. I think Bubba the Love Sponge and Farrell probably shouldn't be too comfortable either. My guess is that since they can't do anything about the Stern contract, they'll just hope that he's enough and dump everyone else.

I just hope that the buddays end up in a place that seems to appreciate them and might do something to promote them. If they go, I'm gone too. I'll smash my radio. I won't fuck my mother, because she's dead, and that's just wrong.
