While fans were well aware of the return of Opie and Anthony yesterday, many questioned whether the shock jocks would be censored by XM following their suspension.
DCRTV reported earlier this week that XM would impose a 3-second delay following the duo's return. Their sources said that the delay was supposed to allow XM to dump out of "overly offensive" subject matter - something the XM vehemently denied.
Opie and Anthony directly addressed the subject on yesterday's XM show, saying that it's "business as usual" and they will be "allowed to do the show that we know and love."
"They have given no content restriction," added lil' Jimmy Norton. "XM, they really do stand by being uncensored."
Read a full transcript of the conversation after the jump...
(The following is a transcript from the "Walkover" segment of The Opie & Anthony Show - June 15, 2007)
OPIE: Well, a lot of people are wondering if we're going to be censored on XM, Anthony.
ANTHONY: Yes, that was a big question.
OPIE: Well, the company has told us that it is business as usual. We're allowed to do the show that we know and love. That the fans know and love. So we'll see.
They've also said that when -- when controversy arises again, they will be there to support us. So -- I guess we could say that much.
JIM NORTON: But they have given no content restriction. XM -- they really do stand by being uncensored.
ANTHONY: No.
JIM NORTON: I'm not giving the company line. That's the fact. They said no content restrictions.
ANTHONY: As a matter of fact, I'll say right now, Look at the -- [LAUGHS]
JIM NORTON: Oh, that was good.
ANTHONY: Oh, was that dumped out? Damn it! I'm teasing, of course. Wow!
"allowed to do the show that we know and love."
i call bullshit
just dont do any skits about black people being raped
just dont attack managment
just dont piss off the black leaders anymore
ect...
...And stick by your on air talent.. OK we'll see.. XM all but bailed on their on air talent last month, and I bet if (when) something else happens they will fire whoever the next time..
The show yesterday, was the best 3 hours of radio i have ever heard!
>>just dont do any skits about black people being raped
just dont attack managment
just dont piss off the black leaders anymore
ect... >>
Doesn't that go for ANY show as long as Al Sharpton's on the prowl?
Must admit ive fallen off the O&A train in the past few months. I think i just need a break from it. Still loving Ron and Fez.
BUT!
"The show yesterday, was the best 3 hours of radio i have ever heard!"
I agree with that. I was nearly crying thanks to Patrice and Vos. All at O&A's expense.
They should do a show where Norton and Opie get into a crazy argument, feed large amounts of Jager to underage girls, get attacked by a Stern zombie, and have a crazy homeless guy talk about banging prominent female figures.... ALL IN ONE SHOW! That'll show the hardcore pests that O&A are truly "back" on the air! YEAH!!!!
Ryan, you spelled the name wrong. According to XM, it's Opie and Andy now.
there going to their show that 2,000 people would cancell for
Hoo Hoo, Robin. Maybe a new perm job will put me back on top.
Oops, I just pissed myself again.
Call Mel and tell him I need another bathroom.
Hey Captain Sludge, you must be slipping. This time he both pissed and shit a pair of his patent-leather pants.
PNess said the following...:
i call bullshit

ect...
Oh Christ, loosen up your tampon and relax! If you don't like them, flush your xm and go over to Sirius and turn on 0.0 and listen to him, if he's actually working that day. Fucking crybaby!
Holy Mackerel, Mudhead, you're right. I can smell it over here, and I live in Long Island.
It's even worse than I thought, Captain Sludge, the rat-shit bastard just tried washing them out in front of his mansion, and it caused a major fish kill.
That rotten sack of shit! I haven't smelled anything that bad since one of the sewer lines broke out in front of his place over on Meadow Lane.
You almost lost me there, Captain Sludge. Then I remembered that The Hamptons seceded from the rest of Long Island to distiguish themselves from the "commoners."
Sorry about the smell. Mel just called to tell me that he can smell it from Connecticut.
PNess,
In other words, they should do the same lame show that Hoo Hoo does.
Besides, who made you the spokesman for XM management and all of Black America?
PC and pathetic, PNess, PC and pathetic.
So 0.0 are back on XM.
If a tree fell in the woods, would anyone give a shit?
2,000 would. i guess hoo hoo was wrong after all
they didn't have 35,000.
they had 2,000.
i wish he would get his facts right.
Greg and Tony have 2000 retarded listeners? You're being generous.
Cue the Jackie laugh: Haw! Haw!
Zero. Point. Zero.
"Thanks to all of our listeners...if it wasn't for you guys, we are sure we would have been off the air for a third time. Thank you."
Greg Hughes
So 2,000 people created enough noise that XM listened.
...Howard Stern...he's the guy that wanted the Anna Nicole Smith baby right? That guy is pure brilliance.. he is always finding a new way to stay in the lime light.
When was the last time Howard Stern gave his listeners credit for anything important?
But, but, but, but I thought all of the Stern people on this blog said that they weren't coming back and that they were fired!?!??!?!??!
At the very least, O&A are actually making headlines for what they're paid to do - TALK ON THE AIR.
Hoo hoo, how's that mansion coming along?
0.0!
where exactly is this 0.0 you keep talking about? did I miss something or are people just making up numbers again?
They post the 0.0 thing because their master told them incorrectly that O and A had a 0.0 rating in a couple of cities. Zombies....
They can't deal with the fact that O and A have more listeners than hoo hoo.
Jorge meant to type "hello" but his language skills are abysmal.
it's our hoo hoo.
remember dallas?
0.0 0.0
0.0
I dont trust dallas after what they did to JFK anyway.
Spielberg, maybe 0.0 is the same language as the fags who constantly say hoo-hoo.
remember dallas?
Don't pretend for one second that Stern never lost a station. I lived in San Diego when they dropped Stern. I lived outside of Minneapolis when they dropped Stern. Stern used to lose around 3 stations a year. Hell, Clear Channel dropped him from 6 stations at once.
Hoo hoo, tell em Fred, I invented getting dumped.
no ones pretending.
clear channel droped stern because of content.
not lack of ratings. like i said it's our hoo hoo.
You're partly right. Clear Channel dropped him because of content, or lack thereof. His show sucked and yes, the ratings were poor. He was replaced by reruns of O&A.
Wasn't it because he pissed off the FCC and because he didn't want to censor his show Stern moved to satellite radio?
Read: http://money.cnn.com/2005/01/27/news/newsmakers/stern_ratings/
No, not at all. Nice 2 year old link by the way, really timely & relevant. Check out how little they miss him today. While he brought in listeners, he had nowhere near the ratings he had a decade ago and is expensive. Just because you bring solid ratings doesn't mean you make any money for the company. Prime example being what he's done @ Sirius. He was simply replaced because all he did for a year was talk about his move to Sirius which pissed off Clear Channel (content). He moved to Siriu$ for one rea$on and it had nothing to do with cen$or$hip. $ome champion of free $peech that fraud i$.
Don't knock Stern for taking a fat paycheck.
Opie & Anthony went back to CB$ for the $ame reason, even after they $aid they would never go back to tere$trial radio.
A $ellout i$ a $ellout.
stern was long off CC stations before he signed with sirius.citidel dumped stern towards the end.
Only Hoo Hoo knows for sure, but that brown lipstick he's wearing brobably matches the exact contour of the white-haired shyster's asshole.
By the way Hoo Hoo, next time you're down there, check to see if most of the hair on the shyster's ass is black or white. If most of it's white, tell him he's in luck. There may be enough down there to do a transplant that will permanently make the color of his eyebrows match the color of his hair.
You less-than-10% leftover Hoo Hoo fans give your fright-wigged idol a 0.0 in every major market in America.
Ho.o Ho.o Robin, I'm thinner than piss on a rock.
hey pests enjoy cabbie.
d.goezinya is a rope-swalling rump-rider who dreams about about sucking the shit out of Hoo Hoo's ass.
Hoo Hoo, Robin. Maybe I don't need all of those bathrooms after all.
Gregg and Tony are gay and Capt. Shitter takes it in the rectum..how pathetic are you when you feel the need to repeat Gregg's retarted statements which
make no sense since Stern is exclusively on satellite not like your bitches who had to run to terrestrial radio when they shit the bed at XM.
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick.
Jack sucks a three inch Hoo Hoo dick.
Hoo Hoo, Robin, Jack sucks short cock!!!!!!!!
