Let's face it...

The show has SUCKED HUGE this entire year so far.. We can sit here and create a dozen threads a day that pick apart each thing we personally don't like about the show but the big picture is it's been shit lately

I don't all the way blame any one person, but everyone should take ownership of it..

The format change is failing, please bring back Ron and Fez It honestly kept me listening right through the day. and I like the cross show storylines it would create.

Also you need to bring in weekend talent. I do actually listen on the weekends and have been finding myself changing the channel in disgust because I don't want to hear the same crap I've heard 13 times already this week... At least dig into the O&A vault and play full random out of context shows, that would be so much better then what you're doing now..

And if you can't bring Ron & Fez back to the channel full time can you at least run a best of package on this channel.

I truly am ready to cancel my car subscription, O&A are the ONLY reason I listen. So whether it's an on-air talent issue or behind the scenes please get it together. Thank you!

I enjoy it.

and why not just switch over to Raw Dog SiriusXM Comedy Hits 99?

Perhaps you should find something else to occupy your time rather than listening to the oanda channel all day every day.

after about three weeks without o&a I hit the bottle, ahllriite?

That's what I say.

I have to agree. Do away with the shitty Pre and Post show, give Sam an hour after O & A to do his thing with pro wrestlers, whoo kid, nicole, dennis, whoever. Then R & F at 12. It was so much better before the change, now the channel and Sams show sucks, but Ron and Fez is on the ball so far.

I disagree, the show has had more good days than bad this year. It's on 5 days a fucking week, it's impossible to do fantastic radio every single day. Some shows can't even do it once a week.

That said, I agree with the weekend talent thing.

It's hasn't been bad but they really are just watching videos, sometimes barely talking through them. It comes off as just lazy.

Also, the caller who called them out today about it. They said go listen to something else. I'm glad that's the approach opie especially takes. The fans who create content and attack other shows for them should just go listen to something else. Opie should just quit, because he drops a hint at least once a show how he doesn't need this and stuff. It's annoying.

so true, his ego is so big so he cant take some criticism and they just dont care, they are basically hanging out and talking to each other on mic and getting paid for it, like yes its a great show and better than anything except ron and fez on the radio but that doesnt mean it couldnt be so much better.

they have so much better in them but they are understandably bored.

Can you really blame them? It seems like their hands are tied. The things they try to do (bus tour, cruise, animation festival, etc) are made impossible to do, thanks to management.

I blame Opie he's the one who's always saying he wants to quit and he doesn't care about the show anymore whereas Jimmy and Anthony rarely have days when they phone it in

I cancelled mine not too long ago. I'll listen to a segment on Youtube here and there but for the most part it's been shit this year. Opie keeps talking about how much they've stepped it up since Tim came aboard but all of the other programming has been dismantled, the show itself has become repetitive and boring, you can tell they had a talk with Ant at the end of last year so he seems like he's been reserved since they came back, it's just not that entertaining anymore.

I want some more evidence on this Ant being reserved theory.

I was thinking it's been a howhile since a good Ant racist rant against that black guy from Brooklyn that always calls in during racial segments. Since True Detective ended I've been needing a wild conspiracy to chase.

This is a bad topic. The show's been great this year, relax.

Well I dunno where u get your info but according to the Opster on yesterday's show he said "everybody" has been telling them the show is better than ever since they've been back from holiday break!

I dunno if I'd, personally, go that far but I think they are doing alright. This weeks so far has been a little slow so I haven't caught entire shows, but overall I'm ok with the majority of their content this year.

This year is way better than 2012 I stopped listening that entire year

How would you know it's better than 2012 if you didn't listen to the show than?

I stopped listening and then recently looked up shows from 2012

Get over it.

Steven Knight has some decent stuff from this year so far... This one was pretty damn funny IMHO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co_yWmPqlq8

Opie is still taking his cues from hoo hoo. Stern tapped out two years ago when he lost his case against Sirius and now Opie feels he can coast because of some imagined wrong doing Sirius has made against him.
