I caught some of the conversation about the rumors on this morning's show on the way into work...They say the XM show wouldn't suffer, but I can't see how it'd work...First of all, the content could be difficult to edit. Second, though O&A DO have commercial breaks (sometimes five minutes, sometimes ten), I imagine they'd have to take longer breaks to accomodate the Free-FM affiliates. Either that or send them to break and keep talking on XM...But then, how do you catch the FM audience up on what they missed during the break? Opie made it sound like they'd consider doing an extra hour, and maybe getting rid of some replays to make it work. They claim to have a system that will work; I'm interested to see what that will be. This could get REAL interesting.
