Where will O&A go next?

[TimTimSalabim]

Sports talk (and play-by-play) is definitely their strong suit right now, although even most of that is not unique to Sirius. I just don't see much innovation lately, especially when it comes to original content. Meyer is an operations guy who just seems interested in cutting costs and hiring people on the cheap, not a radio visionary. It reminds me of when Scully took over Apple.

Yes they do. Martha is down to one show a week on Stars 109 I think. Oprah still has her own channel on XM or if you pay extra on the Sirius platform. They are adding talent on Mad Dog 85 all the time, they just announced Stephen A Smith is coming sept 1st, so I think Anthony is just blowing smoke while taking a jab at management.

Yeah, sour grapes are a possibility.

That was Mel Karmazin's style and Meyer was his number 2 guy. He cut talent to the bone after the merger, while increasing the number of sales staff . As long as sub numbers are increasing that is all that matters. Liberty Media now owns %56 of Sirius so they own the company and they will not sell it unless the price is right. Apple will not be their buyer.

I guess Anthony had some rants on Twitter concerning Opie. Opie commented on the show for almost 2 hours. It is being replayed right now on XM103. It should be ON DEMAND later. If you are not an O&A fan, it will still be a good listen.

I listened to a replay on Sunday. Opie was talking about how he & Anthony rarely talked when they were not on air.

Anthony seems to be acting like the uneducated person That he is.

I'm uneducated, so I can say that.

 

[geosync]

Is Cumio still doing his podcast?

 

[squigy0]

yes

 

[geosync]

I saw a headline that he got blocked from the sirisuxm building recently?
