Today it was announced that SiriusXM will stop replaying Ron & Fez and O&A shows on the weekends and will instead air highlight shows of the week.

Do you like this or are you a completest that would rather hear the shows in their entirety?

Mafialife Chris
05-13-2009, 05:02 PM
Definately gonna make it harder to hear whole shows without some underground means or audible.com.

And will prolly raise the live listership a tiny bit since the elite completist will try to tune in during the shows live because their plan b's arent available.

Good business move. Bad for the guy who relies on it because he cannot catch the live show.

Completist. I really enjoy getting to hear the entire shows because I can't during the week, and I don't like when the flow of a show is broken.

Dan G
05-13-2009, 05:10 PM
I listen and/or record the live show everyday, but there have been times that my Internet connection crapped out on me, so I had to rely on the weekend replay to listen to the shows I missed.

It's been quite a while since that has happened to me, so this new change doesn't really affect me. However, I gotta say I'm not really a fan of this move. Ron and Fez may move from topic to topic, but there are many times where a callback from a previously discussed topic will be brought up, so I suspect those will be lost in this new format change.

that FUCKING blows and pisses me the hell off. i could give a fuck about o&a, and this is pretty much what is done for them already, but not being able to hear the full week's programming for r&f is extremely disappointing.

not everyone is in an environment where they can listen during the showtime. if they would just replay r&f at 7:30 pm instead of midnight each night, it would be tolerable, but as it stands, fuck them fuck them FUCK THEM.

It stinks. There is no reason for it for Ron & Fez. It'll just drive more people to other ways of listening to the show.

I think you hit the Karmazi nail on the head. Selling more advertising seems to be the key to the new era of Sat radio. More ads, online reads, ads for other/competing stations. I have noticed more talk on the small amount of music stations I listen to.

I am mostly tuned into 202 and that is why I have my subscription. I listen to replays most of the time, shit I rely on them. Fuckers now want extra for online listening and are going to deny me the programming that I subscribe to to begin with. For a failing business this does not seem like a good move to me.

I guess next week I can become one of the 35 million sirius 101 listeners......:wink:

poor underdog why does he get ignored ? Yes this is what they do for O&A they pick and choose bits and make a Worst of which they air about 20 times over the weekend. It gets old real quick.


Edited to add

I'll wait and see what happens before stating my opinion it could be a good thing. Or it's something that might not happen and was just thrown out there on air today to get people to talk. Just like the Ron and Fez starting at 11am thing from a few weeks ago.

yes. thinking about it a little more, i bet they are planning for channel consolidation, where there won't be huge empty blocks to fill with repeats. this is a step towards that (as is the more predictable snv over the last couple months). eventually you can imagine an 'xl humor talk' channel with r & f having just the 3 hours a day plus a 1 hour best of crammed in an off-hour. they should be doing so much more with online and downloadable and podcasts and video.... their product is original programming. buy gold... penis enhancers... what a shame... cd quality?

They should have done more with the channel in the first place other then the live shows and the 1 SNV show it was untouched that whole time 202 was XM exclusive. Now that sirius is the big boss they started adding more content to the SNV, which I see as a good thing.

Doesn't bother me so much with O&A because I end up listening to their regular shows every day, but I listen to Ron and Fez around the weekend schedules, I don't listen to Tuesday's show, Wednesday's show, or Friday's show because I know I'll be able to hear them on the weekends.

I guess maybe I'll have to start waking up in time for the shows again.

They probably plan on using the weekends to play nothing but live reads and extra long commercial breaks.

Well I only maintain my XM subscription so that I don't feel bad about acquiring the show through other methods. This doesn't affect me, but it sucks for those who plan to listen on the weekends. Still I wonder why everyone doesn't record or download the show through other means.

The only positive thing is that these best of shows will be hosted by ESD and Chris Stanley. So you'll have brief commentary going into each segment.

Still, I'd prefer that they leave things the way they were.

Agreed. It sounds like it is just going to be more work for ESDad and Chris Stanley. Thank god they canceled the after show meetings, so now they have to time to chop up 15 hours of show to find the best parts.

CruelCircus
05-13-2009, 11:17 PM
So, is the plan to run the same, single 3-hour "Best-of" block 5 or 6 times over the course of the weekend?

If that's the case, this'll suck, b/c once I hear it Saturday morning, what the hell else am I going to listen to for the rest of the weekend?!

Also, I hope this doesn't mean we lose the replay of the Friday show at midnight Fri/Sat.

(And for the people who are saying "just record it," I have my Inno in my car when I'm out of the house. The recorder only works in the home dock.)

05-14-2009, 03:25 AM
I guess we won't know until it happens, but I hated watching an edited, one hour version of SNL that always seemed to cut the skit I looked forward to watching. Sometimes R&F is too much of a web of conversation to cut any one part out.

But I guess that's why I try to record the shows in the afternoon so that I can listen on my ride to and from work. If the options weren't only noon and midnight, this wouldn't be such a bad deal.

I agree, and all in all you still get the daily full replay along with a best of show that gets reproduced... giving Dave some more show time as well to introduce the highlights.... it's not necessarily the worst thing that could happen... I don't know many people that sit the entire weekend through just to catch every episode of the week...
People stumbling across the channel on the weekends might take a bigger interest in tuning in during the week if they enjoy the highlights of the show.

Does it suck that they only have to do it because this is how Howards shows are handled? yeah...

It will most likely cause me to tune out most of the weekend.The O&A worst of playing over and over sucks.The R&F replay will suck too after you have heard it.

I still try to catch up on a show if I miss one during the week but the replay schedule is for shit anyway.God forbid O&A give up a decent weekend block.Who gets up at 6 a.m. to listen to R&F?It's almost like the do it deliberately to keep anyone new from stumbling across the show.

Do it, it's great. Show comes to you every evening to download or stream (most of the time), all the commercials cut out.

I dropped my XM as soon as they announced they would start charging extra for online. I thought it would be terrible but with Audible on my mp3 player and a Slacker player for when I want music I haven't missed it one bit.

It doesn't affect me much having Audible but I think it sucks for all those that rely on the weekend replays. Plus like some people mentioned the conversations on the show often need context for the listeners to know what's going on.
Does it suck that they only have to do it because this is how Howards shows are handled? yeah...
That's the weird thing. They replay full Howard shows on the weekend. The only time they air "Best Of" are on Fridays and vacations. And most of the listeners I talk to hate "Best of the Week" and just catch the full shows on replays. And as far as Bubba, they play full show replays and on vacation weeks they play full shows when they could be airing Best Of shows. So I have no idea what "other channels" they're following the model of.

I don't really like what Sirius is doing to the weekends, I consider 202 to be The Virus and should have shows related to that, I don't really want Jason Ellis on there for no apparent reason other than to promote him and get us listening to his show in the afternoon instead of O&A replays. What does Sirius do to keep us listening to the channel? Giving us an extra hour of R&F is great, but it's assuredly only for more ad revenue as they can probably charge more for a Live broadcast rather than an O&A worst of hour.
Back to this topic, I record the show and listen to it almost every day myself, but I do drive in my car a lot on the weekends and hearing the same show repeated would get pretty annoying, it's gotten that way w/ O&A already for me, I swear I hear the same bits 2 or 3 times.
As an aside, so they're giving howard away to XM listeners for a few days or whatever it is, any plans to give them the virus? and promote the hell out of it like they do? nope and nope. In that commercial they actually say 'as many as 35 million listeners,' like everyone with a friggin radio is listening to howard in the morning, oh how they suck his cock. Haha I can't believe how anti sirius I got in the last week.

just a couple of weeks ago I was thinking how great the weekend schedule was; got to hear the full week of R&F, plus Special Delivery, Dr. Steve, then throw in Big Kev's Geek Stuff and the main SNV show from 9-12.

Glad I bailed on Sirius / XM... I used to use the weekends to catch up on what I missed during the week. As has been said ad nauseum, by downloading the shows from Audible, I can listen to the whole week's shows on the weekend at my leisure, with no commercials.

The music channels are no loss either. They really started to blow once Sirius took over.

at this stage, i'm very glad to have an inno that still manages to record correctly every night. i put an antenna setup in at work but reception is dodgy at best thanks to a flaky reflection of a repeater signal.. so i spend the weekend running around with the inno running a replay.

i'm also paid through november and at this point i'm drifting toward not renewing + audible.

Today was the last straw for me. I tend to have 202 on in the background while I'm doing stuff around the house, but I was busy the last few weekends so didn't notice r&F weren't airing on Sat. until today. So I go to look at the schedule online and they're not playing R&F all day Saturday, but playing the "extreme" Jason Ellis instead??? Fucking unreal.

Today I heard a very unfunny Joe Frazier interview and then heard the same interview come on again in a matter of just a few hours. I like O&A in small doses but 10hrs straight on Saturday aint gonna cut it. Bye Bye Sirius/XM, hello R&F on audible (or elsewhere).

And most people aren't going to be awake at 4 am to listen to R&F on the weekend. It's an insult to the show for xm to shove the show off into the corner like this. Ron is a true original, and anyone who doesn't see that is, well, probably a fan of Jason Ellis.

I'll admit the new weekend schedule sucks. At work we were banned from streaming internet radio so I record the o&a and RnF everyday and listen to them the following day. I never miss a show. If something happens and I do, I just forget about it and move on. I only listen on the weekends to hear sam and dave, dr steve and sat nite virus. People on here have shown a dislike for Ellis but I have to admit I like him. The bits he does are funny and he is quit witted. I love Ron and his view points but I also like hearing different stuff like Ellis.

I think there is room for 4 hrs of ellis on Sat. I think they need to stop the over replay of OnA bits. There's 48 hrs on the weekend to play quality content.

Yeah, I record the show everyday on my Inno. Plus if I miss a show, I just go 'acquire' it :tongue:

And yet again RnF replys are non existent this weekend. One reply from 12-4 on sunday is all we get unless you're an insomniac.

:wallbash:This sucks HARD.
I work days, sleep at 1-4am, and now they fucked up the weekends too.

I got pissed about this replay bullshit this morning, but when I heard them restart the same O&A clip show they had JUST PLAYED, I damn near had a stroke.

I don't have an Inno, I have xm on a vehicle that I don't live in, so I have to stream it on my pc. How do you guys "record" the show?

I just paid 400 bucks for the lifetime membership so I could stream Ron and Fez. I hate to have to buy content I have already paid for. I guess I hate missing the show even worse.

I have an Inno and a Nexus so I've started using those to record the show. Sorry I can't help you.

You can go to http://www.download.com and they have a bunch of free stream recorders. Just have to try a few and see which one works best. Will record streams to Mp3 and you're good to go.

I sent some hate mail to programming@xmradio.com. I know it won't do any good, just venting. I haven't heard the show in a couple of weeks. I couldn't find anything on download.com but I'll keep looking.

I use a program called Replay AV, I've used it for almost 2 years without any problems, can set up a schedule and it'll record the show every day and convert to any mp3 bitrate you want.

Hello, and thanks for the tip.

I hope the software is still working for you. Based on your description and the info on the website this seems like the perfect tool. I purchased it this weekend and it isn't working for me. I started a support case on their website and this is their initial response.
=========================
Subject: Re: XM stations

HI

We are finding just this last week that there are a few stations that won't record with XM and our program. As an example 7 and 202 won't but channel 16 does. A suggestion is to try audio capture with these. The developer is looking into this but doesn't have a solution as of yet. Thanks.

Best Regards,

=============================

If they get it fixed and I have good results I will post it here in case there are others who could benefit. If not I will get a refund and keep looking.

Sharing info in case it helps anyone else.

Replay AV works for everything EXCEPT 202. I don't know if you have noticed, but when you tune to 202 with the xm online applet there is a long (really long) pause before it connects and plays the stream. This defeats the replay software. They don't have a solution at this time. So if you were considering buying it, save your money. If they ever fix it I will post again.

I think the weekend schedule sucks big time! I drive all weekend and look forward to catching what I missed during the week on both shows. As far as Jason Ellis goes....WHY? Give me Sam and what's his name, Dr. Steve and the rest any day. Also I wish R&F had an earlier replay on weekdays.

If you find anything out I'll be interested in hearing it. I've been recording with AV for about 3 yrs. now for just in case I miss R&F and it hasn't been recording all last week for me either. I'm gonna go start a support ticket as well but will check the thread if you hear anything.

And I agree with most of you, the new schedule sucks balls.

My Inno records 7 or 8 complete 4-hour shows so I just record them all. Then it will erase the oldest one automatically and record the new one. And the best thing about listening to Inno replays? - - jumping through the commercials, bap, bap, bap.

No problems for me. I did like the old weekend scheules a lot better though.

The replay software is working now. If you have been missing the show this software will help you catch up.

From the promos running it seems like the Tippy Tom Tribute will be running Friday and then all weekend. I hope not. That reminds me of those bad countdowns they do on regular radio.

I rarely listen do they really? If its not live I could care less. I listen to christian radio if its live over a taped segment. Ask text buddy he'll tell you.

Yeah, the O&A replays have turned into a countdown of the worst segments of the week.
