O & A Contract Renewal

They are still funny. It's just not the same "Holy shit I can't believe they just said/did that!!!" when they were on 102.7 FM. And as you say, it's the stupid lawyers and corporate suits getting in the way.

Also the long stop sets are annoying. I usually manage to listen to the 8-8:30 segment as I'm getting ready to go to work and sometimes I'm gypped out of like 15 minutes because of commercials. :(

I agree, I still get a huge kick out of them but I think the watered down post-Janet post Imus & lack of b@!!s by management have stifled a lot of what made them a riot on T-radio. Their XM show is killer still. As much as I try and contribute to the ratings on T-radio (keeping the radio on and also having recieved ratings books), I listen to them 100% on satellite because T-radio dumps out too much and I can catch the totally unrated show on XM.

Had the ''Sam Adams Sex'' bit never happened..O and A would have been the choice for CBS to go national once Stern went to Sirus..it was obvious that they were being groomed to take over once Howard made whatever decision he was going to make..

Stern explicitly said he didn't want ONA to be his replacement when he left for Sirius.

Stern "didn't want O&A to be his replacement when he left for Sirius"? Tough crap...He left for $500 million and he wants to decide who replaces him too? What a complete tool and control freak.

Are you guys nuts? They had to cut the deal with CBS after Roth underperformed. They would've cut the same deal prior to that. Opie is so desperate to be as famous that he signed the team into a corner, making it a lame show. This isn't 2001. They bit it and good. Cumia should go into VO work, Opie should just go to an island with his money and retire. It's done.

That's the funniest thing I've heard regarding O&A in a long time...... Just what we need, another VO artist with a speech impediment.
