There's absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind that David Lee Roth's days on terrestrial radio are numbered. His ratings continue to dive as time goes on and there is just no way that CBS Radio can keep this up. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, DLR is the best advertisement for satellite radio. The rating's for Stern's West Coast replacement, Adaom Carolla, are even worse.

"It’s a matter of waiting for the blow up," said Tom Taylor, editor of Inside Radio.

"Somebody is going to replace David Lee Roth," said Michael Harrison, publisher of Talkers magazine. "Radio people do much better on radio than non-radio people."

Meanwhile, the question still remains whether the rumored addition of Opie and Anthony to the K-Rock lineup will actually happen. Sean Hannity outright asked both Opie and Anthony whether the rumors are true, whether they will be replacing David Lee Roth.

"We've been negotiating with them [CBS Radio] for a few weeks now," said Greg "Opie" Hughes, "We've got some major hurdles that have occurred though now. When it first was presented to us two weeks ago, it was a done deal. We kind of are at a standstill at this point."

"We would never comprimise the integrity of the satellite radio program that people have enjoyed," said Anthony. When asked whether XM was amenable to this concept, Anthony responded, "That's the thing that needs to be worked out before we go onto any terrestrial radio station."

Many people have doubted the 'consipiracy theory' that Howard Stern issued a gag order against Opie and Anthony during both their terms with Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio). Well, Howard admitted to the gag order on Hannity's show last night. Listen to the audio here.

I often wondered about the supposed gag order where O&A were not allowed to bring up Howard on their show. You can understand, especially after hearing this audio, why they're so obsessed with him. They actually weren't really competing with each other at the time - with Howard in the morning and O&A on a separate station in the afternoons - and even moreso in that they worked for the same company.

While I totally understand the thought that Stern is brand and he wanted to protect that brand (honestly, I can appreciate that), it's just sad that statements like "I'm a strong supporter of MY free speech," would actually be made - let alone enacted upon. If you want to know why this war between the two is going on, listen here.

Thanks OneWithDog! 

You know, these goddamn O&A fans are really just a bunch of pests. Yesterday these silly geese got together and decided to "greet" Howard Stern outside of the Late Night with David Letterman studio. Lots of yelling, screaming and downright stupidity ensued. I personally like the limo speeding away and the fat dude running after it.

One thing you have to admit though. You don't see this kind of passion and following with terrestrial 'jocks' anymore. Where's the Mancow army? Exactly.

Thanks Rev!

Rumor has it that Opie and Anthony are possibly replacing David Lee Roth in "multiple markets." While this definitely should be considered just a rumor I would like to point out that this is not the first time O&A would be syndicated to terrestrial radio. They did so for a short amount of time, replacing Howard Stern I might add, over a year ago.

Very interesting. This on the heals of Roth's little rant this morning about his CBS Radio bosses.

Thanks Brian!
