Howard dropped the news that DLR is out on Free FM and they will pull the O and A feed from XM to run in NYC, Philly and Boston as a trial run. Anyone else hear this? What does that mean for O and A's content. Watering down?

It means CBS has to edit their tales off to put a safe product on the air.
O & A don't have to water down anything.

My take is that the O&A show will be on massive delay on a same-day broadcast, or they will be one-day behind in FREE-FM OR FREE-FM will pull best ofs from audible.com. Other issues are that DLR was a 6-10 jock while O&A used to be 6-10 but moved to 7-11 so they could get more of the west coast involved in the show. The west coast was almost stuck to listening to one live hour and then the replay (pre-RonFez) since O&A was live on the west coast from 2am-6am pst.

Oh yeah, to all you people (especially SIRIUS people) who babbled how Opie's insertions about CBS and the radio deal was a lie and nothing but fake self promoting bunk...if you want to listen to lying self promoting bunk, turn your SIRIUS unit to channel 101.
 
I heard that O&A are still on mainstream radio!!!If thats the case,the quality of thier show will drop BIG TIME :(
 
My understanding is that they will be placed with enough of a delay to delete any language that maybe unsuitable under FCC standards. XM will carry the show uneditted. The "too hot for terrestrial radio" content will be left for the uncensored show from 9am-11am ET.
 
On the Free-FM show, they'll be doing Battle Of The Sexes, Traffic & Weather Together Every 3 Minutes, and topics such as "What's Your Favorite Flavor Of Ice Cream?" ::)And today Jim Norton tried out his new line "Go jump in a lake" to replace "Flush your XM down the toilet, buy a Sirius unit, and then go f*** your mother."
