While Howard definitely gets way more than Op, I believe that $80 million is to produce the show or channels, so that means he pays to make the show out of that sum. Again, still way more but not $80 million in Howie's account either.
You haven't seen the new "dynamic" visual production they have now? Three guys roaming their cramped studio getting tight-focus, tilted shots of everyone on the mics. It's like an f'ing formulaic Gevalia commercial.
I wonder if SiriusXM reimburses Opie's data expenses every month because he is constantly plugging the show, or if he is striking out, making videos with tens of views, on his own dime.
I listened to Opie and Anthony for over a decade. I remember growing up listening to Opie and Anthony and Jimmy. You never hear anything so funny in your life. It impacted me and hooked me on various comics like Patrice, Bill burr, Robert Kelly, et cetera. Those were the good days.
In those days these two shock jocks feuded with Howard often. They were on the same company at infinity and later at Sirius after the merger. They mocked him, bashed him, and Howard returned fire.
Lately the sniping had died down but after Anthony was fired from Sirius it became clear that Opie couldn't carry the show I had heard for over a decade by himself. Opie wasn't funny, plain and simple. He was just a dumb shock jock, morning zoo hack. So in a face turn Howard appeared and said I am the real boss on satellite and these Opie and Jimmy scrubs ain't shit. And they aren't.
Howard is a legend. I respect all he has done and for sure he's better than anything Opie and Jim can put out. He is truly the king of all media. So today I congratulate him on his new deal and wish king the best.
Exactly. Enough of praising Howard now because Opie is a cocksucker.
I'm sure everyone here was bumrushing Howard in the past as soon as O&A came back on XM. In the words of Jim Florentine: "Stop the bullshit."
And Howard didn't return fire. Remember his feuds with that zookeeper from the 90's, Mancow and Imus? How come it wasn't like that with O&A? Because Opie is a zilch, the fact that Howard cowered towards them makes him look even worse.
I think they are opening up an enormous archive service of his previous episodes, going back 30 years. I believe it's on Whalerock? That interests me a good deal.
Hopefully they are uncensored. But some of those episodes cant be aired since Howard had an agreement with his ex wife about not mentioning her name on the air or broadcasting past shows with her on.
Also Howard and crew used to drop the faggot and nigger word a lot in those old shows on the regular.. Curious how they'll address that.
Good for him, the archive and video stuff sounds like exactly what his fans want.
Come next October, if Jimmy leaves, there's a good chance "Opie Radio" will shrink dramatically. The only possible place for Opie without Jimmy or the O&A fanbase would be filling the hole left by Howard, and now there's no hole to fill. My bet is Opie takes a pay cut and signs a two year deal and then gets dropped altogether or "retires" in 2018.
"As a broadcaster, it does not get better than working at Sirius XM, and I'm truly excited for the future with this great company. I happen to think that its best days are ahead."
Yeah whatever. I give it six months before he starts badmouthing and suing the company again.
Anyway, Howard used to be great, theres alot of good stuff in that library, and if Sirius wants to shell out the big bucks for it more power to them.
Yeah whatever. I give it six months before he starts badmouthing and suing the company again.
The greatest moment this past contract. Two times was that bullshit thrown in his face. The last time, he didn't say shit a few days after. Bash Opie all you want, at least he was professional and didn't start bullshit after O&A came back after signing.
Oh, boy. It's gonna be another great 5 years at Dawg Shed. You think the last contract was fun and games? It's gonna look like a Nick Jr. TV series compared to the al-Zarqawi beheading for the next one.
But yeah, let's act like Howard's show is better than Opie & Jim.

$80 million annually now that's fuck you money. A big fuck you to Opie that is.

What do we think Opie pulls in? 1.5 - 3 mill I'm guessing.
Even if she gets 4, that's 5% of what Big Bird gets.

He is out of pocket for show production I believe

A streaming video app (to include studio footage) included in this next deal as well. Guess there goes Opie's "Visual Element" he always talks about.
4 SaveUsNick 2015-12-15
I'm pretty sure Opie mentioned when SiriusXM remodeled the studio that they were getting cameras. I wonder what happened to that.

Howard turned into a morning zoo hack. They have fake impersonators of politicians call in on the phone here is a joke from a Ben Carson call.
"I promise to put boots on the ground in the middle east if I'm elected president"
"Mr. Carson a lot of Americans feel we shouldn't commit more troops over seas"
"Oh I'm not, Im talking about dropping literal boots onto the heads of Isis...Have you seen a pair of Timberlands? Those things are heavy"
"HAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAA"

I think Norton, given free reign, could be a lot better than Howard these days.

The past and present numbers they mentioned in the articles for coming to work a few hours, four days a week, is mind blowing to me.

Can't fathom listening to that boring show the next five years. I guess he won't be doing as many days though.
