ROTH OUT---OPIE & ANTHONY IN

L

longtimelistener

This is on the Wall Street Journal's website this morning:

NEW YORK -- In a sign of the struggles some broadcast-radio stations face in the absence of Howard Stern's popular morning show, Mr. Stern's successor in New York and other markets will leave CBS Corp.'s airwaves, to be replaced by the duo Opie & Anthony, according to people familiar with the matter.

The duo would replace David Lee Roth, the former rock star who has failed to attract a big audience in the months since Mr. Stern left CBS for Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. The multiyear deal for Opie & Anthony, still in final stages of negotiation, would be a coup for XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., which currently broadcasts the duo's show. Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia would continue to air on XM, and they would promote XM on air to CBS's listeners in cities where Mr. Roth's show airs.

He would be better suited for mornings instead of "O&A",however you know how the CBS boardroom thinks. They gave approval to DLR.

I thought KLLI was waiting for the spring book to end before they rolled him in.

Opie and Anthony on XM and on CBS Radio in the AM! Can the deal by CBS to buy
XM Satellite radio be far behind? Nah! Never be approved by the feds! But with
Bush anything is possible!

If I had to make a choice, I would rather listen to edited O&A over Jagger. But I also agree that O&A in the mornings on FCC radio might not be best. Maybe dump LoveLines and put O&A in that slot.

Looks to be O&A on KLLI:

Still amazes me that things that have nothing to do with him get pegged on him.<P ID="signature">______________

I'd take Jagger over O&A any day. I found their old show unlistenable. Maybe it was just my poor luck in timing, but it seemed that every time I dialed them in all they were doing was bragging about their numbers.
