Talks are starting today between Opie & Anthony and Sirius XM Radio Inc. over the duo's pending contract renewal, reports FMQB.
Super Agent Bob Eatman revealed on the program today that a meeting to discuss the contract is scheduled for this afternoon with Sirius XM President of Entertainment & Sports, Scott Greenstein.
The meeting comes less than a week after CEO Mel Karmazin appeared on their show (audio) and stated that he wanted O&A to be part of the newly merged company.
Eatman also revealed that CBS Radio is waiting to see if the new Sirius XM deal will allow Opie & Anthony to stay on terrestrial radio. If it does, then he suggested that the duo will likely make a return to WYSP/Philadelphia.
Remember, Opie & Anthony's contract with CBS Radio was only renewed for one-year in April. The reason for the short term renewal, of course, was the merger.

bye
ZERO.ZERO
1am-5am on Howard 102
ROFL
THEY BETTER NOT GIVE THEM HUGE MONEY......AFTER WHAT SHAREHOLDERS JUST WENT THROUGH.....THEY DO IM OUT!
Frrrrrrunkis
bye bye bubba dont let the door hit you on the way out
"zero.zero" now that's original.
It'll be interesting to see if they try to give them a deal to go satellite exclusive with Mel's view on the subject.
0.0? That's such an old emerging market joke. They're a NY show, how are they doing there? #1 in their key demo, right?
0.0 is about as original as "hoo hoo tell em robin"
radio wars are dumb and both you groups are a bunch of dorks
Homo says ZERO.ZERO...
"ZERO.ZERO

No 0.0 is a joke from the stern show, they were giving ETM a hard time about not selling tickets to an appearance he was making.
Hey all you 0.0's. Once SiriusXM signs O&A to a new deal, and Howard gives them his blessing, will you all of a sudden love them like you love Bubba?
O&A were ripping Bubba a new pie hole yesterday. Not that ol' fatso isn't getting enough pie as it is.
If O&A were so bold as to rip apart someone who's touting himself as "part of the Howard family" I would say Bubba is gone, and O&A are here to stay.
O&A will be on Howards show within 30 days of their contract renewal. Everyone will make kissy face, Howard will give them his patented seal of JEWproval (I like the chosen people, just a friendly pun my Hebrew buddies), and Bubba will be a distant memory.
BRING IT BROTHER, IN THE OCTOGON!
What a douche...
>No 0.0 is a joke from the stern show, they were giving ETM a hard time about

Actually, this goes back about a year when the Stern show was discussing the O&A deal with CBS Radio. Artie piped up with the famous "zero...point...zero" from Animal House when commenting on the Arbitron ratings that O&A were getting in several markets. While probably not technically true, it's still funny.
I hope they do get renewed so I can hear them on Sirius. The only "radio war" is being perpetrated by dipshit listeners who don't realize that the two shows are quite incestuous and think that you can't like both shows. The interview with Mel last week was quite clear about one of the reasons why there was such a rift between O&A and Stern.
I don't, however, think that they should be allowed to re-sign with CBS Radio. That's the real "radio war" everyone should be focusing on - destroying terrestrial radio.
who cares if they gets signed or not.
0.0, they are getting kicked of of dam near every station they are in and they are not #1 in NY, the spanish station is #1
who cares? I think they suck. Do people really listen to these idiots?

What lake is this "dam" on dumb ass--Do you mean "damn" BOOGER??
who cares? Well I do!! They think I suck. Do people really listen to these me?
I a loser!!
I hope they get their own channel with replays. It works out perfect so i get to hear most of the show on my morning and afternoon commute
Can't we all just all get along???
They should keep the same old terms of the contract but get every Friday off instead. Oh, and throw in surprise vacations.
THAT would make the fans happy!!!
They will get a studio down the hall from Stern.
Keep them on XM 202, but jerk thier aSS
Keep them on XM 202, but jerk thier ass off FM RADIO ! Im SICK-AND-TIRED of the FM side of the show, and hearing them whine ass crapadel keeps jerking them off of other stations. LET FM, AND THE NAB DIE.
OH YEA.......... RON AND FEZ, NOON TO THREE !
BOO-YAAA!
$7.50 a hour and they have to split it. Any more than that is a bad deal for Sirius.
On second thought you have to request them as extra pay and they get 10% of that.
nayone who thinks these two hacks can hold a candle tothe BRn is NUTZ! No way can they pull the numbers Bubba does.
Bubba is the MAN!
BYE BYE O&A!
bubba isnt even A man, much less the man.
did you hear him back track on the whole "dealbreaker" situation?
HA-HA
How are you zombies going to spin this when they sign? You've painted youselves into a corner....
You stink and I don't like you.
Frunkis.
breaking news on FMQB: Opie and Anthony renewed by Sirius XM for 5 years ending terrestrial radio in May of 2009, when O and A will become exclusive to satellite radio
sespool, please show others respect, it's one thing for you to prove your ignorance with each of your posts, it's another to continue your homophobic nonsense.
Thanks a big old butt load twack!!!! Fans like you keep me on the air!!! My daddy Howie and me are the biggest things on the radio. I thank GOD each and every day for my daddy. I think him every day when I polish his knob. Maybe one day I can polish yours. I am grateful that he decided to work with a maxi-pad like me.
PS. Just remember to tell people that its not fat its muscle. If you lie enough, you start to believe it. Thank again twack for being a super super fan!!!
"zero.zero" now that's original.

Howard was talking about the Chicago rating of less then 1.0 (0.8), With the +/- of 1.0 he said the ratings could be 0, then Artie started.
>>who cares if they gets signed or not.
>>0.0, they are getting kicked of of dam near every station they are in and they >>are not #1 in NY, the spanish station is #1
Poor BOOG, he just does not get it
#! in there key demo, not in the radio marketplace as a whole.
no one cares who is #1 in total, its the demographics that mean EVERYTHING to radio sales. After all, is your dad (or mom) going to listen to the same radio as you are? Of course not...and if they did, imagine what kind of bland vapid radio that would have to be.
No, we are talking about their demo, the KEY demo...and thats all that matters
go home BOOG, and be a sore looser on someone elses time...no one likes the person who sits in the back of the room, poking holes in everyone's argument..
and while im at it...let me make another point.
Howards style of radio is very sexually oriented...its for the masses, as stupid and sensless as they are. He is LCD radio...just like "Disaster Movie" or "The Simple Life".
I am glad that O&A dont have to act like that to do good radio. So what if most of the markets they appear in dont take to them....it would be absurd to think that they would be sensations in every market they were on the air in.
Give them time, let them find their fit in the marketplace....and go from there. They fact that they are not failing in their home market...or on satellite radio should speak volumes about the style of radio they have perfected..."Cringe" as some people call it.
Howard can talk to girls about their lesbian experiences, and make crude baseless sexual humor all he wants..the LCD will eat it up, and i will kindly excuse myself from the table and go for the more refined humor of O&A, and R&F for that matter.
The radio war between Howard and O&A has been dead for years. They could give two shits about each other and only stand up for themselves when provoked. All credit has to be given to Howard for paving the way for all "shock jock" radio personalities. Even O&A have acknowledged this. Fact is both will be around for a long time. The only show thatt needs to worry is BTLS. He's been riding Howards coat tail for a little too long now and has yet to prove himself. He's right there along side ManCow as being a fat disgusting cunt and a fake piece of shit radio show. Long live O&A...Howard too. Oh and lets not forget Ron and Fez noon to three!!!
FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIISSSSSSSSSS!
actually i kid most of the time about O&A
i would listen again if they came to Siri i just dont think its going to happen. i hate bubba....and he needs to go and O&A would be a good replacement...besides bubba is not going to sign another deal with sirius cause he is doing so well in regular radio again. bye bubba
i was a big fan when they were on in the afternoons in NY, but even i was always willing to admit they were a far far far 2nd to howard....well howard was prob 1-9 they were #10.
"Just remember, dont f*ck MEL"
It's the Internet. You can curse, cockstain.
>> nayone who thinks these two hacks can hold a candle tothe BRn is NUTZ! No way can they pull the numbers Bubba does.
Bubba is the MAN!
BYE BYE O&A! >>
No, seriously, what did you really mean to post...?
Let's see Howard = 500,000.00 + Opie = 500,000.00 + Anthony = 500,000.00 = 1.5 Bil
Mel, What a deal
Profit s will come in 2040

the second Anthony and Howard played cards together in Atlantic City as well as when Opie and Robin bonded over tea the radio war was over
Fez Whatley dead at age 52.... this is terrible, I cant friggin believe it
condolences can be left at ron fez dot net
all bubba talks about is NASCAR, Wrestling, and pole smokin....his parodies are awful.....and the clowns that co-host are not funny!....id rather have o&a on sirius then hear HILLBILLY JIM waste three hours a day duplicating the stern show!
who is opie and anfernee?
long live Howard 100!
who is miles?
thats right-nobody
long live Howards wig
The war (between Stern and O&A) has been over for some time. But these lowlife nothing better to do Stern fans just dont give up. .
But the O&A vs Bubba war is heating up. I love how he is backpedaling his comments about leaving if O&A get to stay. He really does suck, and i really dont like him.
Good I hope they do just the satellite show only. Going back to regular radio was a dumb idea. The only really funny thing on it was the time Shawnee Smith was on but even the best part of that didn't come until the XM show.
i dont understand how people actually like bubba???? his show is full of stale crank calls, weak parodies and bad co-hosts. Jim Breuer unleashed (sirius raw dog 104 4p-6p M-F) is the epitome of a solid talk show! (friends of the o&a broadcast)
Oh by the way the profits will come in 2040 line was hysterical.
Osh_it and As_sferny suck, if they sighn or not I dont think anyone will care, 2 hacks that cant keep a job. The only good thing about those two mental midges signing is that sirius xm will make money when opiss and asfernie start paying to broadcast
They should get O&A signed as soon as possible for the (Sirius) XM people. I didn't post for awhile since the Anonymous Coward's demise (you suck, asswipe, you know who). Just want to say I'm a Sirius guy, but they need O&A and Bubba rehired. And Stern needs to get out more after his marriage. Do some road shows, Howard. Mel, my friend, we need plans for best of XM/Sirius lineups. Peace, Milo Berrios, Greensburg, PA

Q: Who looks nasty, stinks and is a loser??
A: Its BOOGER!!!
BOOG goshh u surrre ar a looser ashole
1.1-1.1=?
These two hacks will never make it, they can't keep a job. Oh wait, after Mel kept them off the air for 2 1/2 years they roared back to become #1 on XM and #1 in the largest market in the world, NYC. They've kept Howards old job for over 2 years, much longer than any other talent that was trying to replace him and much longer than Howie's fanboys predicted. And now even your hero Mel has called them massively talented, a show he didn't want to compete with and wanted re-signed as part of the merged company.
BOOGER, you're mother wishes she never drank that night then the slut wouldn't have had you. She also wishes she drank more during the pregnancy. Apparently she drank enough to retard your development but not enough to just terminate the damn thing.
zero.zero that is howard's rating.
in case you didnt know
zero.zero that is howard's rating.
in case you didnt know
how do howard fans feel that mel is signing them again?
if they have no ratings, isnt that just throwing money away? wont that hurt precious howard?
will bubba stay now that they're signed on?
no one cares.
Hey Ryan, is there any way to put an IQ filter on the comment posting system? Yeesh.
Maybe instead of a code word or registration, a simple math problem could filter out a lot of these idiots...?
when bubba is fired he can turn his attention fully to all the hogan family reality shows.maybe he can start a feud with lindas new boyfriend
bubba has fans?....since when....90% of the show is wasted on Hillbilly JIM and his
talent-less co-hosts talkin about dumb shit like beating off to david haselhoff movies....give me o&a and let Bubba bore the FM crowd in tampa bay!
==============================Pop Quiz==================================
Ready?
What is Howards rating on every fm market in the world?
If you guessed 0.0. Pat yourself on the back your right!
o&a both have their good moments. The xm duo appeals more to me however. Get them on Sirius and life's grand. Grow the fuck up people and not be so narrow-minded. Howard is gettin pretty old in age, he's not gonna last to long with the lewd topics at his age. It's getting creepy.

UMMM..... Howard not on FM, You got 0.0 on FM dummy
RON AND FEZ NOON-3 XM202
HOO HOO says what robin...
WHAAAAA..
hoo hoo
Ron and Fez Noon-3 XM202
Why is there even an arguement here. Look at the ratings. Bubba is destroying O&A in the ratings. The numbers dont lie. I will leave it at that. >>
Sirius' Howard 100 (ch 100) had a cume of 1.22 million listeners and an AQH of 96,700
XM's The Virus (ch 202) had a cume of 216,800 listeners and an AQH of 20,800
While Howard 100 was the #1 most listened to satellite radio channel, XM's Top 20 on 20 (ch 20) ranked as #2, with 1.05 million cume listeners and an AQH of 21,800 listeners.
XM's listening is more evenly distributed, while Sirius is more Howard Stern-biased (Howard 101 even had a cume of 502,000 and AQH of 30,700).
Silencing all of the critics Bubba the Love Sponge® is not only the second-most listened to star on Sirius Satellite Radio, he is now #1 in the Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater radio ratings after returning triumphantly to the airwaves this past January. It is one of the fastest climbs to the number one spot in radio history.
The Arbitron radio ratings survey, released this past Friday, May 02nd, covers January 10th to April 02nd shows that the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, broadcast live weekday mornings from 6am to 10am on Cox Radio’s 102.5 The Bone (WHPT-FM), is the most-listened-to in the Tampa-St. Pete-Clearwater market. It is number one with adults 12+ (9.5 share), with adults 18-34 (18.4 share), with adults 25-54 (14 share), with men 18-34 (26.9 share), and with men 25-54 (20.8 share).
RON AND FEZ Noon to Three XM202
/me doesn't care about Howard or his shit fuck crew. they can all die for all I care
RON AND FEZ Noon to Three XM202
mel, please don't let these "models" on sirius xm. all they give a shit about is c beep s radio. they are extremely rude to paying customers of xm. i quit listening to their bs two months ago, just had had enough. please keep ron n fez though. ferelli is cool too. don't know anything about btls, but he's got to be better than ohbeep and anthony. Fuck terrestrial radio
adding these guys to the lineup will only help, they are pretty good, I am a howard fan but the amount of time he takes off is driving me crazy. When he is off they need quality live shows not repeats all week ........
Scroll back and look at all the screen names of those who posted on here. There are numberous supporters of bubba but its the same three dudes bashing bubba. LOL go get a life guys. O and A are fucked now they are working for sirius, being that howard basically is the king of sirius. Bye bye o and a shit dicks.
Howard is Cool!
O&A are Cool!
Bubba SUCKS!
i have both xm and sirius and o&a can't hold a candle to Bubba's show. I just hope Howard, Bubba, and o&a could work something out because all three has huge followings.
I MUSS ZIB
I MUSS IMAN ALIS ZIB
