Finally, the ridiculousness is over as the damn "arch enemy" of O&A was finally revealed today. Former WXRK-FM/New York Program Director (and Operations Manager at WNEW when it turned gaygirlie as "Blink" for a brief stint) Steve Kingston has jumped to satellite radio as XM Satellite Radio's new Senior Director/Label Relations.
Steve will be working directly with record labels to help break new artists, create special XM promotional opportunities and secure artists for exclusive XM performances.
First off, Kingston is great for radio, whether satellite or AM/FM. I worked for Steve Kingston for nearly a year and I learned more from him during that span than anyone else I ever worked for or with.
As far as Opie and Anthony are concerned, come on! Who cares about those two. In fact, who has ever cared about them? They should feel lucky to be mentioned in the same breath as Kingston considering what he has achieved in radio, the least of which was being friends with radio pioneer Morris Blum, who passed away recently (like 2 years ago ... sue me, I forget the date!)
Opie and Anthony craved to be Howard Stern. They failed, but they make good money and a few people even admit to listening to them. That's great.
