| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 01  | Infinity treats them like shit. No promotions. No ads. Meanwhile, they generate tons of money for Mel and his fucking company. If Infinity does not give them what they deserve, Clear Channel is a huge company that would bend over backwards for the guys! BANGING MRS CLEAVER 24/7!!! | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Aug. 00 | I don't know if it's so much Infinity, but WNEW who doesn't do shit for them...they either need WNEW to shape up or maybe they may need to move to another station, time will only tell, but they have my support 110% no matter where they are..

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Their contract is up shortly. Unless Infinity, and WNEW really make it worth their while, I don't envision them staying. Figure O & A could be on Q104.3 by summertime. VIRRRRGINS PEOPLE!!! And ... A McGwire Rookie Card! E-Mail Me | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Agreeing with Corpsegrinderjunk will give them all of my support. But would have a hard time listening to them if they move to mornings.  My Adopted Newbie: itsoverjohnny | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | I don't think they should leave them but I'll stick with them. Q will probably treat them a lot worse than WNEW treats them though. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Dec. 00 | Wherever they go, I will be listening. Even if they move to Z100 and rename themselves the "Slappy & Wappy Show"....huh,hooooo[insert wacky horn sound here] "I'm on the Zoloft, right... but I'm that to keep me from killin' ya'll." | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I give my full support to whever they move if they even do move. But if they don't, WNEW has to shape up, get tough, and stop actin like a bunch a pansies. U never know, they could end up at K-Rock, just to shove it in WNEW's faces.   "I hate people that don't get it." | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | First off, K-Rock is owned by them same people who own WNEW, so it wouldn't be shoving it in anyone's face. Second, the boys would never go to K-Rock because of the Howard factor. They don't wan't to be in his shadow, and he would make there lives more difficult than he already does. If they do leave WNEW, they will be leaving Infinity broadcasting as well. So, they could stay in NY, but it would be on a non-Infinity owned station. like Q104. VIRRRRGINS PEOPLE!!! And ...

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | WNEW sucks ass. They treat all there shows like shit. They dont promote any of the shows, The sad thing is that O&A get most of the promosions, like sticker stops and Rick going to bars to hand out lame CD's and 1 T-shirt. IF they do move Rick had better move with them, and I will miss Stinky, Ben and Jamacan Mike.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Well I think alot of it has to do with Howard. When he finnaly gives it up a ton of station will want them to take the place. They have the ratings and the power to either take over mornings or fill the shoes of Howard. He is the one I think that holds them back alot, with gag orders and keeping other rock bands ad guests away from their show. he,s a dick. I can remember a time when Howard was the one people didnt want to do now all of a sudden they celebs love him and view him as fun and entertaining. I sure don,t he has bored me the past six months. Not one show has been funny to me. Its going to happen O&A Becoming the #1 nation wide talkshow program. If they keep getting some good guests it will happen. But however it goes Im also with them 110%  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I'm sure Stinky and Ben would move with O&A, as for Jamaican Mike, it depends whether or not there is a job opening in the Q104 parking garage. VIRRRRGINS PEOPLE!!! And ... A McGwire Rookie Card! E-Mail Me | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Stinky and Ben both work for WNEW and are not part of the O&A package, Ben worked at WNEW before O&A got there and Stinky was an intern that got hired. IF they move,the other station would have people aready in place to do the same JOBS they do.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | I know they're owned by the same company but the lower management is different right? i mean the management like the program director and the lower postions like that. Anyway, whereevr they go i don't care. As long as they don't go back to Boston, cuz then it would suck cuz id have to find an underground website to listen to them on. and i don't wanna do that.

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | When a station brings in new, ESTABLISHED, talent, such as O&A, they want to keep them happy. One thing they do is let them bring their crew with them. If O&A choose to bring their guys with them, I'm sure the new station would make room for them. VIRRRRGINS PEOPLE!!! And ... A McGwire Rookie Card! E-Mail Me | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | There is one thing that will not happen, O @ A doing mornings, could you see Opie getting on the train at 4:00 am, and Anthony getting up at 5:00 AM, nah nah nah. wherever they do wind up i'll be listening for sure...:) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Well I dont fucking know, If Ben and Stinky move with them that would be great, If they don't move with them I will not be shocked or pissed.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 01 | As I see it, O&A have a LOT of bargaining power, based on their ratings... but not as much as they rightfully should (Stern politics, maybe?). Still, O&A keep WNEW afloat, and everybody knows it. "Powered by the Sports Guys"? I don't think so. ;) Whatever happens, happens. Remember: they always win in the end.  ClusterF's adopted newbie.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Bottom line is O&A should have been syndicated years ago. (2 to be exact). Either O&A don't know how big they can be or infinite does not know. Infinte is too busy sucking on howards balls. O&A should have their own tv show. That they can do what they wanna do. Plus they should be sydicated. How can don and dike be sydicated and not O&A? it's bullshit. I can go on forever. One more thing. SYDICATION NOW. But no phone calls from hicks in indiana..haha | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | Wherever O & A go I will follow. I find it hard to see them doing mornings though. But the managment at WNEW totally sucks monkey ass. O & A are the Secretariat of this station.They are the reason why revenue(Ha Ha) is up. And they are the reason why the other shows (except Don & Mike) have success. Because O & A have pulled listeners to the other shows on this station, WNEW should treat them better.Now I'm finally off my soap box. | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Mar. 01 | If the guys leave Infinity, they can write their own ticket, and bring along the whole crew, the same way Stern did. If the guys leave, watch the station change formats overnight and become a music station again. WNEW is a mess now..the guys ARE the franchise! BANGING MRS CLEAVER 24/7!!! | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00 | If they're smart, they won't go anywhere. They leave Infinity and syndication is one sorry picture. There is the ABC/Disney Radio affiliates and that's the only company I've heard of that is in every major market. You're right, WNEW and CBS in general has kicked them around for too long, but they don't have too many other options. What company syndicates Jim Rome? That's the only other company I can think of that would be feasible. There are 2 shows that would complement each other perfectly; Jim Rome and O&A. The only problem is Jim ain't on in New York.
