Matt Drudge is reporting that CBS may be looking to Has-Been-Howard to fill Letterman's spot on late night TV if he moves to ABC. If this happens, could the guys be poised for a morning slot? They have always said how much they would love to do the morning dive. Thoughts? Opinions?

Personnally I'd love for O&A to hit mornings. The only problem I see with it was when Stern's Saturday night show hit a bunch of CBS affiliates, slowly they took him off the air. Surprisingly the Philly market KYW for one. Although maybe they'll do it, Stern to TV, O&A to mornings and eventually Stern out in the cold. :confused:

this, that, and the other....

Froy seems ok, Faceman is fair. But Slash is a cunt, FTL is a total soccer mom, JoeyBigArms thinks he's a fucking message board god.

Hooknose could'nt pull off a saturday night show at 11:30 once a week, do they honestly think he'll be able to manage a 5 day show? Sure, it would probably be a different format (not like the E! show redux), but I can't see Howie in the same ranks as Leno and Letterman. As for O&A to mornings - I'm sure they'd love to do it to prove they could pull off monster ratings, but the boys have said on more than one occassion that neither of them are morning people, and do prefer the PM drive slot.

It might make sense to move D&M to A.M. drive. i really don't like them and O&A would get better ratings, but O&A are 3-7. The show was at that time in Boston, New York, and now the major syndicated markets. Breast are out in the afternoon, and I really don't think most of the O&A fans will be up at 6 to listen. D&M fans, probably will be.

Don't want to be your monkey wrench, one more indecent accident. I'd rather leave than suffer this, I'll never be your monkey wrench. All this time to make amends, what do you do when all your enemies are friends. Now and then I'll try to bend, under pressure wind up snapping in the end. One in ten, one in ten, one in ten. Don't want to be your monkey wrench, one more indecent accident. I'd rather leave than suffer this, I'll never be your monkey wrench. Tell me, tell me, tell me. One last thing before I quit I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head. I still remember every single word you said and all the shit that somehow came along with it. Still there's one thing that comforts me since I was always caged and now I'm free.

i'd hate to see o&a go to morning :(

i'd never be able to listen and it's just not the same as them at the end of a long shitty day.

the message is there is no message. one million souls tossing down their hard earned lettuce for a piece of the hot rock indie alternative pie. i've sold out. how about you? everybody's doing it, even if they say they are not. don't ask me cause i don't know. rock saves. it's the next big thing. have you heard the next big thing? i'm part of the revolution. it's all coming down soon. hope you're there.

I don't know. I like leaving work and listening to the show on my way home and while I unwind when I get there. In the morning, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for talk...I want music that will wake me up and get me geared up for my day. Besides, most people aren't as active and into participating in the morning.

Please. for those of you who are loyal and faithful listeners, you know that the guys have said many times they do NOT want the mornings. please kill this discussion because this dumb speculation has been beaten to death long ago.

Growbaby,

For the record, this thread isn't speculation...it is about people's thoughts about a possible move to mornings (What if?), NOT that they might move.

Also for the record, I have been listening since July of '99 in NY (and via SU and then WJFK in this shithole they call DC), and they have said many times they would love to do mornings to oust Howard (pre-gag order) and have said (post gag order) that they weren't afraid of the slot at all. And yeah, I can't see Ant getting up to do it. But that is why I posted: to get people's opinions on pros and cons.

O&A don't want mornings, I wouldn't be able to listen to them mornings anyway. Why would Howard get a show when his old show failed so horrible?

I have been listening for a short while longer
than you Chris, and I think you're confusing
statements slightly. They have said they
wouldn't back down from taking hooknose on
directly, and weren't afraid of him. They also
said if they HAD to they would do mornings,
But they ALSO clearly stated that they would
not CHOOSE mornings, because NEITHER of
them wants to get out of bed prior to 10-11am,
and they prefer the afternoon drive because
it's just as big as the morning slot and it let's
them sleep.
