I have a bad feeling this is the end of O&A, Opie seems to want to move to afternoons and Ant has made it very clear he won't and is in no way contractually obliged to do so. I also seem like they would want to end the show on good terms, and it seems they have been getting along well lately.
Yup. And ironically enough he has a lot of "leeches" to support. He pretty much gives money to most of the women that have put up with his aging dick on a regular basis.
No other show he could do would pay him a fraction of what he's making at Sirius, unless you assume that he'll go to terrestrial radio which doesn't seem likely. Plus by refusing to move, he'll be pissing off Sirius and pretty much the entire staff so whatever he does, he'll do alone. It just doesn't make any sense.
Dont know if I believe it just yet. He only had 2-3 tweets with no other explanations about it. I wouldnt be surprised if they did get moved, but i dont believe it 100%, like someone else said you havent seen Anthony going off on twitter about it yet. Anthony has said though through twitter that they cant move them, because its in contract, or something along those lines. Also I think Anthony not flipping shit on twitter holds more water than Opie saying a few words in reply to some tweets about it, with no further explanation.
It could work. Carolla built himself a rabid fanbase by being on at a time when the largest possible portion of his demographic was awake and able to listen to as much of the show as possible. If O&A hold their noses and actually give afternoons or evenings a shot, they'd likely find it agreeable.
If anything, we'll all shake our fists at SXM and the company will get a lay of how big their fanbase is, subscriber or not. Very handy piece of data come contract time.

It's a bit, you rubes.

Listeners thinking every fucking development is "a bit" is the equivalent of redditors thinking every fucking photo is "shopped"

How mad would they be if they got moved to afternoons so Sam could have a morning show. Lol.
1 PhilipeNegro 2013-11-08
I might piss myself if that happened. I almost wish management did bits, too.

RT @aNikolai @anthonycumia Is it contractually possible to be forced to afternoons?
@anthonycumia -Not at all. I won't and can't be made to. Fuck that.

Ant is just playing hard to get and Jim would suck as many cocks as is necessary to stay in radio.

It's not real yet because there's no Ant twitter tirade about how he's quitting/going to shoot up SiriusXM

When it comes down to it ant, much to the chagrin if his father will bend over and take it.

It wasn't just a lack of enthusiasm; it was absolute resistance to the very idea of going to afternoons.
1 vxsarin 2013-11-08
wait. you know what their contract is? not sure how you could be so sure.
-1 [deleted] 2013-11-08
I don't, but anthony said they are contracted 6am to 10am.
1 vxsarin 2013-11-08
I believe everything anthony says.
-1 [deleted] 2013-11-08
You got me there, but in this case I do believe him.
0 ol_dantucker 2013-11-08
Sirius may be moving them to the afternoons to intentionally make them upset so that they can buy OandA out of their contract cheap.

There will be no show on 1/1/14. They don't come in on fucking Columbus day, what makes you think they're gonna come in new years day?
Do da bit!

I think you're taking the date too literally.

You're forgetting something. Anthony loves money.
Without an easy source of income like the radio show, he'd go broke in a couple of years.

Well, I think Ant would do some sort of other show.

Lately I see him "retiring" and making Todd Pettingaleesque cover songs, you know to buy preteens iPads.

I think I know how SiriusXM is going to get them to go along with this:
If they go to afternoons, they'll get everything they've been asking the company for since XM came out on the wrong end of the merger.
I could be wrong about that, obviously, but it seems plausible.
1 esdJellyJar 2013-11-08
Yeah, that will never happen even if they suck Howard's dick on network TV.

@anthonycumia RT @Buzzkill_Ed Will you get to do more TV when you're on in the afternoons?
-100% that I will not move to afternoons. Never happen.
1 Happy_ScrappyHeroPup 2013-11-08
They're not going to afternoons.
1 CasinoIndian 2013-11-08
It could work. Carolla built himself a rabid fanbase by being on at a time when the largest possible portion of his demographic was awake and able to listen to as much of the show as possible. If O&A hold their noses and actually give afternoons or evenings a shot, they'd likely find it agreeable.
1 PhilipeNegro 2013-11-08
It's a bit, and they've certainly baited people.
If anything, we'll all shake our fists at SXM and the company will get a lay of how big their fanbase is, subscriber or not. Very handy piece of data come contract time.

Conservative Rants with Ant in the am, and Opie Radio Talk in the afternoons with Co-Host Dennis Falcone.
