Opie and Anthony didn't play along with Tim Sabean's ideas and now the show and all the peripherals are being destroyed.

Why would they play along? Tim didn't really prove shit on H100 & H101. He left those channels a shadow of what they once were. You may be right but I cant say I blame them.

When they said Tim wanted to move the show to afternoons, Anthony SCREAMED that his contract said 6-10am.

New year and it's now 6:30-10:30 for no real reason. They should just get rid of the preshow and have the same post 1 hour show as previous to 11:30am.

That sounded to me like management solving a problem. "You guys don't start until 6:15 anyway, and you bitch about doing extra radio. Here is a solution."

They can't really argue with that, and having Sam live at 6am grabs listeners who would otherwise turn away from whatever shit they replay before the show.

No. The management blame game is bullshit. If it were true, Opie the martyr would be all over it. I can't believe people buy into the propaganda.

I would love to hear a management meeting, just to get some context.

Afternoons made a lot of sense since there would be no overlap with Stern and there would be a lot more energy. Cumia threw a shit fit because if they moved to afternoons he would no longer be able to film Red Eye

and he would die in L.I.E. traffic both ways

Take the train like Opie did in the lucrative NEW days

I thought moving the show to afternoons would have been a good idea. I know those of you who listen in the car would have bitched, and Ant and Jimmy bitched because they like their 11am naps, but I think it would have been a good spot for the show.
