Damn 3 million a year gone over a twitter rant. Ouch.

That's crazy money for someone to show up and shoot the shit for 4 hours. He'd have to do podcasts for maybe 150 years to catch up to that number again.

Not necessarily if he gets a big following and some big advertisers. Carolla makes like 15k a show.

Hard to see big advertisers going near Ant right now. The return of Steven Singer?

Who are the current advertisers? Squaty Potty? I don't think they're too picky.

Plus people like Limbaugh say ill shit all the time and somehow find their niche ads. Doubt Anthony is really that toxic.

Where are you getting those numbers?

You think he might be a dumb drunk guinea who doesn't realize how lucky he is not to be knockin' tin anymore?

As if his decrepit old self would ever get a job these days anyway

Wow I thought he made much more than that.

I think that number comes from howie saying it a few years back and probably a few contracts back. Just because a newspaper (especially daily/post prints doesn't make it true. One blogger probably said and they all ran with it. "YOUR GONNA BELIEVE YOUR NEWSPAPERS?????"

But yeah he probably made in the low 7 figures

I wonder what the Sirius offer was for the next couple of years... before this blew up.

Very low, with promises of bus trips and remodels.

"A source."

Yeah, not buying it.

Not nearly as reliable as a SiriusXM Sales rep asking credulous dopes what they want to hear to get them to re-up their subscriptions, and then telling it to them.

Not saying I believe sales reps, but it's pretty obvious he's not done.

As far as anything larger than a do-it-yourself podcast from his home is concerned, yeah, he is done.

I suppose Phil Robertson was "done with TV" too. Just shut up.

He wasn't fired; merely suspended. If Ant had been suspended, then this all would still be up in the air.

We passed that point more than 48 hours ago.

You'll always be downvoted even though you're very often correct. These philistines don't appreciate you like I do, gsbird1065.

“I would say that he is history as far as any corporate-owned media are concerned,” the source said Saturday.

This is probably true. However, now that I've had a day for the shock to settle down, this is actually really good, to be honest, I've seen this coming for a while now with the constant 'muck in the works'/studio upgrade snafus etc and was sick of how the boys were getting treated by SiriusXM. They deserve better and now they finally have the chance to build their own media empire like Rogan and Redban's Deathsquad and have no more muck

yeah the show has been dying of cancer since the merger.. It's frustrating hearing of their treatment considering the fanbase

I look forward to watching LFTC slowly transition into "The NEW Opie and Anthony Show", where they can do the wiffleball bat challenge again and drop n bombs nonchalantly and do all the fun bits that the lawyers have been preventing these past years

we may be saying goodbye to their literal 'radio careers', but in the long run this is just the start to an exciting new chapter in the "Opie and Anthony" saga that I have been looking forward to for many years. COMPLETE AND TOTAL CREATIVE CONTROL

What makes you think Opie is going to be involved in any of this?

His own words from the day they came back from the 2 week break after the "studio improvements".

I'm excited too. I think this has lit a fire under their asses and they will have something to prove, which will make fantastic radio.

But for the love of throbbing penises, this shit better be available on YouTube or I'm shit my pants and die.

I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but why wouldn't they just release the shows from their own website? At that point the only ones they're responsible to is the advertisers, who I assume would know what they're getting in to.

[deleted]

I think that's reaching a bit. Even without lawyers getting in the way, I don't think the show would be so crazy offensive that they couldn't find a web host.

[deleted]

Who's this inside source? Yeah...might not be back to radio, but I have a strong feeling we will hear him on a podcast

I think i might know who their source is...

The daily news is crap journalism. It's 100 pages of ads with 10 pages of "news" and half of that is wrong anyway. Decent sports section though.

Someone needs to photoshop Bryan Cranston out of that picture and just make him look like a happy meth addict.

News organizations engage in Doublethink. Spreading bias and lies? Call it fair and balanced truth. That will make it all ok.

"The Ministry of Truth" in 1984 was really the place where history was being actively censored and the past destroyed.

He said 'the jump to violence is instantaneous in that community' and later said 'the black community' so yeah, he did say it about all black people as time went on it seems. The drunker he got the deeper he dug the hole and here we are.

But you're right that it's a lot about not much substance. He's said much worse but now that the Eye of Internet has turned its gaze upon him, he's in an indefensible position. He can claim not to be racist all he wants and claim he didn't mean all black people, but even a cursory search proves otherwise, what with his entire daily hour long rants about race.

Indefensible position.

[deleted]

According to his story the 5 black guys didnt do anything at all. And youre somewhat right, he didnt come out and say "all blacks are savages" but his statements are not far jumps to saying the whole black community is violent etc.

There are many podcasts that are making money now don't have anything close to the full blown studio Ant has.

This has been planned as a parachute for some time now.

The article smells like shit

Amazing how many dummies here were willing to take the word of some sales drone as gospel so long as they were hearing that Ant was never really fired in the first place, that he was just on vacation; and yet when the NY Daily News publishes an article saying that the firing is not only real, but is going to stick, all of a sudden skepticism is in the air.

Typical fanboy pansies.

[deleted]

But you're not the only one here who has expressed (or who will express) skepticism over this article; though you may be skeptical for different reasons. Whereas people earlier today were torturing themselves to believe what Sales reps were telling them, no matter how patently ridiculous it was.

He's also not the only one here who has expressed what a fucking asshole you seem to be.

We're all fucking assholes here, friend. It's the only requirement of being an O&A fan.

Please stop fighting, my stomach hurts...

That's right. No more $3 million a year.

Just lmao at all the faggots on this subreddit who said shit like "This is great for the boys, now they can move on to podcasts. That's where the money is."

Really, fags? Is it? Or do you just like saying random shit so you sound informed?

If the money is in podcasts then why are Bill Burr and Bob Kelly one paycheck away from being homeless

Also if you want to fly into a homicidal rage, read the comments on this article.

Suck my small fuck you Radio retarded faggot
