Opie & Anthony Fans Disrupt Boston TV News Live Shot

Tonight (September 14th) at 10:22 P.M. EDT, a live report during WFXT-25 Boston's 10 P.M. local newscast was disrupted by fans of Opie and Anthony.

WFXT reporter Bianca De La Garza (whose husband, David Wade, is co-anchor of the newscast) was starting a live report outside the station's "satellite studio" located on the corner of Beacon and Park Streets in downtown Boston, across Beacon State from the Massachusetts State House (WFXT's main studio is in suburban Dedham, at the interchange between U.S. 1 and Maassachusetts Route 128/I-95).

De La Garza began her live report, which was about a proposed Massachusetts law which would impose stiff fans and even jail time if one does not remove snow from the roof, engine hoods and trunk hoods of their car.

Fans of Opie and Anthony began yelling about their favorite shock jocks, urgining people to tune-in their show on XM, and waving O&A signs.

WFXT cut-off De La Garza's live shot and showed a taped pirce on the subject. After the taped part of her report ended, WFXT cut back to the studio.

You probably know that prior to going to go to WNEW-102.7 New York (and eventually into national syndication), Opie and Anthony were on WAAF-107.3 in Worcester, a station that has a strong signal throughout the Boston metropolitan area.

OA and their "fans" really should get a life.
 
I'd love to see a reporter turn around and douse the jerks with a squirt gun.

Hey, it works for my cat. It might work on creatures of lesser intelligence.

Ah, but would it work on creatures of NO intelligence, who would do something this juvenile?

Also, WCBS-2 New York reporter Arthur Chien yelled obscenities at Opie and Anthony fans who disrupted one of his live shots a few months back, and got fired.

Arthur Chien is now with WPIX.

I know WNBC's Pat Battle was a target of some of these morons, but she ignored them and WNBC didn't go back to her live shot after her package aired.

Now what should be done to the two head morons is disrupt their show when they are doing a remote and see how they like it.<P ID="signature">______________

Almost ironically, Arthur Chien used to work for Fox 25 a few years back.
