What about the idea that he's using the show as a tool for negotiating a contract? Maybe he's saying it to get leverage....

I'm in Vegas for a couple of days and have missed the shit hitting the fan. It looks like last weeks thread about this issue is not that far off the mark?

Well, why not move them to mornings. Look who is on in the morning. The Sports Guys. They blow big time. Where do they dig up these ass f's. Radio Chick, Don&Mike, and the Sprots Guys, those shows SUCK!

if they were to go to mornings, it wouldn't be at WNEW. why would WNEW put O and A up against Radio Edit if they aren't even allowed to mention his name on the air now? it wouldn't be a smart move for management and i'm sure that Radio Edit wouldn't allow them to be in direct competition with him.

Cant imagine an Infinty station putting O&A on mornings against Stern. I believe when Stern signed his latest contract a "no compete" clause was mentioned as part of that deal. Which means if Opie isnt blowing smoke up our asses as a negiotiaing tool, they'd have to go to a Clearchannel station in New York. The new Z-100 morning zoo...Opie and Anthony?? The Q?? PLJ??? The only stations in New York they belong on our Infinity stations (Krock or NEW) and Opie has to know that. And, even if they werent to renew, there would have to be some clause in their contract preventing them from going to a competitors station in New York for an alloted period of time.

They could move back to Boston, but that would have to include a syndication deal or else it makes no sense. Actually, Boston makes no sense whatsoever. If they can move to Boston and get a syndication deal, they should be able to stay at NEW and get a syndication deal. Unless they move to mornings in Boston, in which case I dont think Infinty would syndicate them back to NY to compete with Stern anyway.

Overall, the suggestion of moving to mornings makes little sense(Krock has a just fine morning show and NEW is not allowed to have one). Leaving Infinty makes little sense either. They want to stay in NY and there really is no other station's format that their show fits into. NEW seems to be the only place for them right now. "Two months" is a negiotiaing tool. Its an attempt to pressure management into a better deal. Not resigning with NEW and Infinty would be cutting off their nose to spite their face. They'd have to leave the market for awhile and it could take them months or years to get back here. This is, of course, assuming the NY market means as much to them as they say it does.

Have we learned nothing from DrudgeJr? Let's just give them the 2 1/2 months to work things out or move on...

If O+A move out of NY stern would say that he ran them out of town. I don't think that they want to hear that bullshit from stern. They need to stay in NY and win here.To quote Ant, "We won't be another John DeBella..." Fuck big-nose

God, this is going to fuck up my whole day. I hate to admit it, but Opie sure makes it sound like they are going to mornings when they negotiate a new contract. As for which station? It does not matter. Remember, they are an island. Where ever they go, we will go. As long as there is a decent signal, who cares whats on before or after them? Will anyone on this board not listen to the show just because it's on Z100 or the Q? I don't think so. It will suck for me though, I work nites and will hate getting 4 hours sleep because I got to get up at 6 A.M. to get my fix!

If O&A leave NY Stern WILL have run them out of town. Not through ratings or numbers or anything, but by dirty filthy politics. Its just not.. honorable.

THEY WILL NEVER GO TO BOSTON! NYC is the #1 market and that's where the money is. Clear Channel is a huge compnay with almost 200 stations. They are probably bidding for O and A as we speak! Fuck CBS/Infinity!!!!!!

Well one thing I see that will NOT happen is O & A going to Boston,to do mornings, first off WBCN syndicates Howies show in the AM, and they were stressing the fact that they are from NY. let them negotiate, and get the nice raise and recognition from the management that they deserve and stay with WNEW in the afternoons.

I do support the move to mornings should they do it, but Im afraid I'll no longer be a listener.I hope to Christ that they stay for a better contract, or at least switch to another station in the exact same time slot. If they stayed in the 3-7 bracket, they are guarenteed the same amount of listeners, since all we have to do is shift the dial.

Just because O&A want to be on the air in
Boston doesn't mean they want to go back
there.. they hated that town, but their fans
loved them. I don't see any possibility of them
moving back there, even if they were still
syndicated to NY.. but I am completely puzzled.
If it's mornings they want, maybe Q 104 will
take them.. the world will get along fine with 4
less hours of classic F'ing rock.

I don't think they will leave WNEW. I do think they will be syndicated starting in June, with the new contacts. WNEW only good thing going for them is the O & A show(I like R & F, but their ratings don't even compare to O & A). Even though they got the worst & stupidest managment in the world (D&M still being here & on from 7-11 instead of R &F) as one of the many dumb things they have done, but I don't think they are dumb enough to let O & A go elsewhere. The next rating book (not the trend that comes out on fri), but book that comes out in April will be big. If they continue to be a 5+ which is almost certain they won't go anywhere

Not sure about them moving to mornings..but you dont move from the top market to a smaller one by choice...you get kicked out of NY you dont leave voluntarily..maybe they are getting syndicated in Boston?
But of course this is all speculation..those guys love to leave us thinking and thinking about whats gonna happen next :)

Let's use some logic for a minute. To do a morning show you have to wake up around 4 or 5 in the morning. That means the boys will have to be n bed around 10 the latest, and when they do get up they'll be cranky as hell. Ant's drinking habits don't support that kind of lifestyle - early to bed and early to rise - and I don't think Opie would be into it either. If they do go to mornings it'll suck balls, but I don't think they'd ever agree to it in the first place.

Maybe O&A could go to Hot 97 and do mornings. I heard those guys are going to LA. They could get in more with the black audience and have guests like Puffy. OJ, Ray Lewis, Rae Carruth and all other black criminals, rappers, and gangsters.

They always talk about wearing the ice and sometimes they try to act black. Opie looks like Vanilla Ice and Anthony looks like B-Real from Cypress Hill. I see a sig pick here.

It's a better idea than them going to Z100 where they can interveiw N'Sync and the backstreet Boys.

They would be real dumb to move out of the big market. Syndication, but I think most people would get the NY References a little more than the Bostons. I know I would. Are AM stations totally out of the question??? Who knows, maybe a station could change format into talk between now and then, and there you go a spot to open up.

Isn't it funny how the words O&A and mornings can produce 40+ responses and over 400 views of a thread. Seems like a hot topic. G-d you people are blood thirsty for war.
