Is the "shorter commercial breaks" thing only on FM because on XM between the little 2 to 3 minute "recap" then commercials, its still 8 minute breaks.... I'm confused.

Are they playing something in the place of 2 minutes of commercials on the FM broadcast?

now if they made the appts after 11:30, that would extend their work day and they wouldnt want to do that now would they? the 10:30 meeting probably gets them out the door at their "normal" time-approx 11:30.

no boss on xm side cause wiki has no pull. cbs prob has it in the contract they must be there. and the boys dont say when the contract negiations are the people higher up set the times. besides does it really matter if they did leave in the long run? i still enjoy the show and atleast they told us this time so they are getting better about letting us know.

That's why I am not really mad that they left early. I just switched the channel and fired up the slingbox.

My intention isn't to annoy you, but if you are annoyed, too bad.

Call me a hater or whatever you want. I have no loyalty to the show, other than to LISTEN to it and hopefully to be entertained. Names like hater are meaningless. I hope it makes you feel better.

When they pull shit like this and bail, then they deserve to be called out on it.

If you only happen to see my negative posts, then thats your problem. Put me on ignore.

Maybe its because I can't post during the CBS portion of the show for the most part (between my waking up and morning commute). Maybe its because the XM side of the show is given the shaft on a regular basis that you only see bad stuff posted by me.

If I could post between 6 to 8am, there's be a lot more good stuff to say because thats where the show focuses their efforts.

The XM side isn't the priority to the show...but happens to coorespond to when I have the most free time to post.

I'm not here to piss people off, but I'm also not here to win any approval or popularity contests either.

everyone can say what they want. i know it's a pain in the ass expecting to hear new material at 9am when most ppl are starting their workday to only get the shaft. i'd be pissed, but i'm just a lowly college kid who listens when she wants/can.

does this mean you're not going to listen tomorrow? no. you'll listen.

people judge everything. it's what we do. i don't think any of you are haters for getting pissed. i was sleeping but if i was awake i'd probably be none too pleased.

Dude. You seem to ahve a problem a lot. You were the person who posted a negative comment that day. When the show kicked ass. You commented that they only had 1 WOW commercial ona wednesday. Even though they didnt take any breaks on the Xm side that day.

I can understand them not making them XM side a priority now. until they have a contract in place. They don't use up all of their vacation days. Ope has said they get something like 5 or 6 weeks vacation. He has said if they wound up taking all their vaca time people would bitch about it. Yet it still happens if they leave early and stuff. Im sure you make sure to use all your vacation days. I personally wouldnt work my ass off if I knew I could be unemployed by xm in 8 days. Remember this has been going on for a few months. When XM didnt pick up their option by the specified date. Plus they said they hadnt been paid for a month.

I understand you bitching about them leaving early and stuff. But put yourself in their shoes. if you had that stuff happen to you. Would you really want to put in a full day at XM. Or would you take advantage of the situationa nd leave early occassionally.

Yes, I did and boy I made an impression on you with that comment apparently ....

But that discussion seemed to skew really quickly into something totally not what I was going for.

I remember I kept hearing the promos for "lets bring back guess whats in my pants, or the 6 oclock queef" or whatever. My thought process was then to think about how its the show who's not talking about their own promotions and thats why they aren't getting participation.

I don't believe (and feel free to dig back into the listening thread that day to prove me wrong) I was commenting on how shitty the show on XM was when I mentioned the WOW promotion... the comment in that CONTEXT was about how you don't see WOW stickers anymore, and don't get wow'ed cause they DONT PROMOTE IT anymore.



I understand you bitching about them leaving early and stuff. But put yourself in their shoes. if you had that stuff happen to you. Would you really want to put in a full day at XM. Or would you take advantage of the situationa nd leave early occassionally.

Excellent analogy. And if I was in their shoes, it'd be a tough call for me. Leave early and piss off fans? Or take advantage? I don't honestly know which way I'd do it... but I don't know the specifics of their contract and what it allows for. Apparently it does let them leave early when they want to.

If I was dead serious about pulling in the largest fanbase and putting on the best show possible, I'd probably stay.

If I was pissed off at my contract situation, or ratings, or show in general, and had pleanty of "F U Money" (as they like to call it), then probably I'd go home early when I could.

What bothers me about them leaving early is when we talk about it... they call us haters and say "dont listen if you dont like it." That attitude and sense of over-self-worth is what I have a problem with.

If they left early, then took calls where people complained about them leaving early, and said something like "yea we know you are upset and you are right" then maybe I'd be a bit more OK with it.


///// Thank you by the way, for an excellent post to reply to.

Noi - that WOW comment rubbed me the wrong way that day. Thats all. Since it was a great show that day. Thats all. I will say this one. Since you mentioned that one. I have been paying attention on wednesdays to see how many commercials I hear.

As for the analogy. I was in a similar situation a lil over a yr ago. I had a contract for work. Then was working without a new deal for a month. Which pissed me off. Thats probably why I take that one personally as well. Since I left 3-4 vaca days on the table and was getting screwed over with my new contract. Well screwed over at the time. It worked out in the end. but still pissed me off. Where I didnt do as much work as I had done before. Since I wasnt sure if id have to start looking at espn, cbs or yahoo for a job.

oh and thanks for the compliment. I tried not to come off as rude or just say hater or something.

NONE OF OUR JOBS ARE LIKE OnA!!!!

None of our jobs are remotely similar to OnA, unless you work in the radio industry and satellite radio. Your job isn't to entertain and gain listeners. If you (and this is a broad "you") take off early, or don't go in, not to many people are going to be disappointed. Obviously they can do whatever they want, but they also need to accept the consequences of their actions.

This is the point I was trying to make earlier.

They take off early? Fine. But don't be surprised when your fanbase is irritated that you leave them...


And I agree that their jobs are very different from most. Many jobs can have responsibilities offloaded to others and the customer down-stream has no idea one person is gone.

When O and A leave, its obvious.

Now MAYBE, if they stuck a few of their many staff to at least keep a live show going that'd be something. I really do crave live content. I ALWAYS tune out between 11am and noon when they have the reruns on. If they had a live show on, I'd stay around.

As Opie mentioned today, it really must kill TSL (time spent listening) in that hour before Ron and Fez. Although in the satellite market, I'm not sure if that is as important as it is on TERR radio.

Point taken.

I never see the in-fighting in R/F threads that I do here. Its a direct result of the hosts treatment of their show and their fans. Nuff said.

Thats true Wes. My job isnt similar to their job. I work for an internet company. I dont do satellite radio or work in the radio industry.




If they take off early say 8 -10 x in a 3-4 month span. How many listeners would they really lose in that short term. if this was over a longer span. I could see what your saying. ( Like if they did this consistently over a yr 3-4 x a week) Let me use the vacation reference again here. They could pretty much say we didnt take a week vacation. But took it in smaller doeses. Like leaving early or taking off a day here or there. Some people take a weeks vacation all at once. Other people may take a weeks vacation in days. A day here and a day there on the xm side. Should they say we arent doing the XM side on the cbs side. YES. So its just giving people a heads up. Sometimes its out of their control though. See last week with opie and his allergies. I think friday was the first time Ant and jimmy did a show by themself. The only reason they probably did it friday was because they had a ton of guests. Just like when ant didnt come ina few months ago and ope and jimmy did the show.

Lets talk about that show. I'm upset that I missed it as I'd love to have heard how the pacing of the show went.

Granted guests almost make the show run itself (yes I'm oversimplifying) and would have loved to hear Anthony and Jimmy ALONE.... but

What did everyone think about that segment of the show with no Opie?

I thought the O and J shows were pretty cool because the vibe was so different. How about when it was Ant and Jim?

Jimmy dominated the interview with Omar, from "The Wire," so it wasn't that much difference. Opie would have been quieter than usual because of that, had he been there. Jimmy was in the zone, a funny motherfucker, and did a great job interviewing Omar. Pat from Moonachie (sp?) came on air for the last ten minutes, and they cut out at about 5 'til 11, if I remember right. Pretty unveventful aside from the interview.

They were a bit all over the place. Like FMF mentioned. Theyw ere supposed to do Wii Fitness. I know Pat showed up but they forgot about the contest. Maybe ebcause Omar stayed for the entire 2 hrs at XM. Plus the Dane cook int at XM as well. You could tell Ope wasnt there though. They were a lil out of sorts. They had a few problems with the buttons when Ope left on the CBS side. Right when Chickliss walked into the studio. You have to laugh at the people that say shit about ope now. He does a great job of steering the ship.

Well lets just hope that when wii fit day does happen, they do a lot of prep for it.

You ever use one of those things? My brother in law brought his over and it takes like 5 to 7 minutes PER PERSON to set it up for one guy!

And its not multiplayer.

So if they just hook it up, I don't know how good it'd translate to radio if they have to set up every person one by one.

I hope it'd be many Wii's, many Tvs and people's profiles already setup.

You have to laugh at the people that say shit about ope now. He does a great job of steering the ship.

I might complain about content and prep (or lackthereof) but I do understand Opie's importance in running the show in terms of pacing etc. I never dispute that fact.

I know it was asked last week when they cut out early, and the week before, and the week before, by why the fuck would they schedule a meeting at a time when the show is supposed to be on the air? That seems like an odd decision for a radio show or radio company to make.

At least when your post first went up... it was referencing the Ron and Fez listening thread for today. Maybe you edited it after the fact? The picture wasn't there when I first quoted you...weird.
