O&A play National Assoc. or Broadcasters commercial spots & how they are SO clueless & OFF!
>My bad, I mislabelled it initially a FREE FM spot. I had have been corrected >that it was a National Assotiation of Broadcasters spot. Either way, it is >pro-terretrial/anti-satellite spot that is farcical and a joke...
Opie and Anthony played some FREE FM spots while discussing terrestrial radio's refusal to step up, their univentive, fake and lame old formats will toll their untimely death. All three bits ended with the archaic land-line-payphone operator tone (paraphrasing) ".25 if you want to listen for the next 3 minutes". Two of the bits made me laugh in hysterics:
1) They played a faux baseball game and as the game went on, they cut in with ".25 for the next three minutes". How STUPID is that? First, if they cut into a commercial, as a terrestrial radio listener, you are handcuffed into either listening to the commercials or rumbling around your presets maybe listening to a tune or two. Well, MAYBE one or two tunes if you can find a station NOT playing commercials. Um, note to satellite radio haters...ESPECIALLY with the playoffs going on and the races get tighter, if you had satellite radio you could listen to COMMERCIAL FREE music oooooor you could tune into another game that could be playoff crucial!! How about if you're a transplant from another city? If I listen to WEEI Boston I am forced to listen to the Red Sox...but what if I am a Brewer fan? Terrestrial radio = wait for score updates. Satellite = flip over to the Brewers game and hear your local announcers call your team!
2) Another FREE FM spot had an announcer with her AWFUL, fake radio voice talking how a HUGE star was arrested on stage. What they were arrested for was SO AWFUL they can't tell you exactly what they did, BUT IT WAS AWFUL!! Then the operator tones kick in and ".25 for the next three minutes" plays. HAHAHAHA that add played RIGHT INTO satellite's hands. As Opie & Anthony proved with the Pat O'Brien tapes, as TV and terrestrial radio gagged and teased how horrendous his language and requests were, O&A played the tapes 100% unaltered and unedited. The FREE FM ad is actually 100% wrong because satillite radio isn't handcuffed by FCC restrictions so they didn't need to tease the tapes like that fake DJ played to do. The FREE FM radio had to coy and tease the tapes. Satellite radio would have not only told you WHO got arrested but WHAT they did without any play on words (can you say Gary Glitter news updates?).
3) Maybe terrestrial radio has lost almost 8 million people because of there horrendous math skills. .25 for the next three minutes? WHAT? Let's put FREE FM's math to the test:
60 minutes x 24 hours a day = 1440 minutes per day
1440 mpd x 365 days a year = 525,600 minutes per year
12.95 sat. cost per month x 12 months per year = $155.40 per year
$155.40/525,600 = .000296 per minute a year...oh it gets even BETTER!
.000296 x 3 = .000888 the ACTUAL cost of three minutes per year
.25/.000888 = 281.531532 minutes you'd receive for .25
281.531532/60 min. per hour = 4.692192 HOURS of commercial free music you would get for .25
FREE FM claims .25 for 3 minutes, MATH claims 281.53 minutes. Now 281.53 minutes with barely a dolt of a DJ with fake radio voice, 281.53 minutes of commercial free music, 281.53 minutes with songs radio haven't played in YEARS taht may be your fave songs...wow, makes me glad I subscribe to satellite radio even more than before....<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by AllForADeuce on 12/30/05 02:12 PM.</FONT></P>
