Doghouse - O&A on air BATTLE at 10:30AM!!

--Also, what you see on Jackass is basically what was ripped off from the Dog House. Same story here. They didn't want to move to LA, so Jackass listened to their show and replicated their stunts. Videos the Dog House put out years before Jackass came out can prove it.




i would love to see that proof you speak of. me and my friends did that stuff without any radio or tv in the 80's we just did it but dint have video cameras. but im not about to go as far as jackass ripped us off. and how did bam listen to a show in sf? im not a huge o&a fan but did listen alot on the new days. todays shows sound a little tired but i havent reall givin it a chance since they been back.

the doghouse seems to me like a couple of guys who all they can talk about is how good they were in sf. nobody cares! and i did give them a chance but they look like 2 guys who had oppertunitys didnt take them and want everything handed to them. EARN your right to not have an hour taken out of your show.

Yeah, let's see...

We got a drunk and a punk who are getting middling ratings with a great lead-in. JV and Elvis have already caused a couple of drama issues at the station.

On the other hand, you've got a steadily growing morning show whose growth is being stunted by JV and Elvis.

Yeah, O&A are doing something to get themselves fired. Riiiiight.

Yes let's see what we have here. We have 2 that were fired for sex in a church, we have to that were fired for telling the truth. Now what do we have here? Let us see, we have 2 that think that they are Gods, why? Well because they make alot of money and they have a poster on a bus. We also have the A that had problems with drugs and drinking. Then we have the O that thinks he is better then the rest. Why? Because he was a nobody at WBAB and then went to Boston and back to NY and then got fired. Only to find himself working for XM with a listener base of 30,000. Oh that is right we have the other guy that has a problem with drinking that would be E, but he is working on it and is ten time more funny that O plus a plus N. And then we have J and E that were number 1 for 10 years in SF. Oh yea, and then we have a producer asking for some more money when the O and the A signed the deal with the Free and Fm only to tell him to go to hell. Oh that is right the O is not an a-hole is he? The A well you know what he is ok, he has always done the right thing, even giving props to the J and the E for going over the time, but the O he is just a D. And then for the O to play the A-hole, which he does so well this morning. Well it only proves that the D and the A are only that nothing. Oh I forgot to get into the ratings game. We have the O or the D and A getting what 4.5 in the Demo at the 23rd rated station in the number 1 market. Nice job guys you are really stealing the show from the top rated stations. Oh yes the D and O and A are in the top ten in the market in the demo, but that is sad for the flagship station of CBS. Which once was great and is no more, nothing but a shell of itself. Stern walked and so did all that listened. So good luck to the D(Dopie) and O(same person) and A(Anthony).
 
We have 4+ HUGE egos, and several more faux handles to boot!
 
Why is O and A still trying to grow? The Dog House is on at 9, and just cause people don't tune into them doesn't affect someone who can tune in from 6-9.

The Dog House has acknowledged their ratings are not that great, something O and A are oblivious to. O and A say middays has nothing to do with ratings. Look at O and A in San Francisco, a 0.0! Now you may say, no lead-in and they are new to the market. Well, the same can be said for the Dog House when DLR was on the air, and yet the Dog House at least posted something.

Not that this is an attack on O and A, but coming into a new market is a tough thing. O and A are very hypocritical and where are they number one? Are they #1 anywhere?

These two shows may in fact have a lot in common, that they were both successful before, and now are struggling a little.

But let's call a spade a spade, 0.0 is 0.0.
 
How long have O&A been on in SF? Unless I've lost track of time, I don't think they've been on long enough to make any sort of impact.
 
And then we have J and E that were number 1 for 10 years in SF.

Before we just keep putting this out there as a fact, can it be said they were very often #1 18-34 male.

Yes, it was their target demo, but please stop posting like they were #1 12+ for 40 consecutive books.

They also lost to Stern almost all the time 25-54 male.

They have not been on a full book. And, I seriously doubt many people here have access to the trends. In SF, they are keeping Carolla's ratings, not really losing or gaining.

yes but the Demo that they were after was 18-34 so what is wrong with saying they were number 1 in the SF in the Demo that they were after. Stern also played in the same Demo. and Now O & A are using the same demo. They were number 1 in the 18-34 demo that the station that they were on was looking for. That means that ads were looking for that demo. Also the number one demo in the country is 18-34.
 
Let's wait for a full book, and they will go from a 0.0 to what, a 0.2? A 0.0 in any industry no matter how you cut it is just so bad. Corolla has no numbers, so what are they really hanging onto?

Did the Dog House ever have a 0.0 anywhere?

Just more excuses. Call something what it is...
 
I would not expect much from their first book, as they are starting with an 0.0 (according to you). If this is correct, they need to rely on station marketing to introduce them to the audience. If they had inherited some ratings and declined to a 0.0, I would be concerned.
 
They will probably end up in the low 1's in the 18-34.

You can't have it both ways and say JV & Elvis were #1 in their demo back in SF, and then give O&A's 12+'s.

Now, I am not against JV & Elvis, I'm not against O&A, I'n not against Stern, nor Mancow, nor Don & Mike, nor Imus.

What I am against are the fans of these shows who believe everything his favorite host says and then everything else the other hosts says is a lie.

I'll let you in on a little secret. They all spin, exagerate, and even outright lie. Part of the success of that type of show is for the host/s to have the audience think they know them, that they are "just like them." But, it is an act. Not as big an act as Matthew Perry playing Chandler Bing, but it is a facade they put on for radio.

Think for yourself before believing everything that comes out of your favorite FM talkers mouth.

Trying reading what was actually written, if you can.

No, they won't get fired over this. This is the start of O&A pushing the envelope to see what they can get away with. If someone doesn't reign them in, they will push until something gets them fired. Watch.
 
Well, despite what happens...What will we end up with..
(A) Opie & Anthony with Mainsteam Rock/Alternative/Active Rock days and weekends
or
(B) JV & Elvis with Mainsteam Rock/Alternative/Active Rock days and weekends
lets hope for either...this hot talk format was a joke from day one, even without David Lee Roth

You obviously never listened to the first months of their XM show.
