| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | It is possible that the show would become more structured and time-oriented. I don't think the content would change, though (unless the FCC has something to do with it). | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | I don't think that syndication will change the O & A show. They may get more people pissed off at them, but thats never stopped them in the past. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | The one part that would suck about syndication is the timely commercial breaks. I like how you can get an hour of show at a time.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | In all likelihood, the boys will still play primarily to their NYC/Tri-State audience. I believe audiences in other markets would have to adjust to them moreso than the other way around. "ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING?" | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Sep. 00 | Hate to use D&M as an example, but they are syndicated, but primarily play to a Washington audience. I don't think O&A would neglect their NY/NJ crowd. With more listeners, it would probably be harder to get on-air for those who call in. I want O&A to be big, but at the same time, I don't want them to go Hollywood (if that makes sense in the radio biz)if it makes the show suffer.  -Pannix | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | I would love to see them syndicated and think it would be great for O& A and the show, but one thing that would suck is the southeners calling in. I can't stand the accent. I was listening to part of D&M last night to see what they had to say about O&A. Don and Mike make me cringe as it is and to add those southern accents it was hell. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | When O&A finally syndicate and are eventually all over the place, they should not accept any calls below the Mason/Dixon line.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | It really could go either way. Of course the guys will stick primarily to the NY/NJ audience, but the show relies heavily on listener participation. With calls coming in from all over the country, it'll be alot to pull off some of their bits. As for the commercial breaks, for a while, I'm sure they will be more timely, but its not something to worry about in the long-run. Another problem is the combo of the new FCC regulations combined with new listeners. Alot of people in alot of cities won't be able to handle the type of humore that O&A bring to the radio. I'm sure listeners in these areas will complain to the FCC, and the boys will have to tone down the show a little. All in all, even though some bad can come out of it, I am looking forward to syndication. Its a big step for the guys, and they damn well deserve it.  Smoke Weed Everyday | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | I am biased because I am sick of having to listent to them on the internet, but I think syndication will give them more material. Remember when Antoinette called in, now imagine that with some dumb hick. Or people calling in to complain that their favorite DJ isn't playing Kansas or BTO. Hey Anthony, would you like to make a deal on some Furbys for your girlfriends.  | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 01 | Now that you mentioned the Antoinette bit, something like that would suffer from syndication. If you remember, the guys took that bit into commercials several times, that is something that would be adversely affected with all the other stations running their own commercials. The New York audience would not really care though, because they'd be getting it in it's entirety, but the stations on network would have missed out on a hilarious bit. And The Howard Stern Show often runs hour long bits, so there's no indication the guys won't be able to if they re-sign with Infinity. "Opie and Anthony always win in the end" - Opie  All | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | You missed my point. There will be more dumb callers. But why wouldn't that of worked, I don't understand your argument. Hey Anthony, would you like to make a deal on some Furbys for your girlfriends. | ||||
| The O & A Radio Network | posted on 04-11-2001 @ 10:11 AM | | |||
| Hanger-On Registered: Feb. 01 | My argument is that bits similar to that of Antoinette won't work. She was on the air from around 5:00 pm that day and the only way to keep her on the air for as long as possible was to break into live spots with her. In syndication, commercials heard in one market are are not heard elsewhere. So anything funny that happens during live spots would only be broadcast on the flagship (WNEW, for now), not some other station that is doing traffic for their area or running their own commercials. And what's worse is that some of the funniest bits happen during commercials and some of them can't be controlled (like Antoinette), but if the guys have guests that come up with something funny during commercials, they might have to shut them up until the show starts again so that all the stations can hear it, which could hurt it's humor value. Syndication ... in seven weeks. All | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | I agree with you about the commercials, but most of what they did with Antoinette wasn't during commercials. The way they kept her on the line was by taking other callers and making her think someone else was about to win. It didn't depend on commercials. Hey Anthony, would you like to make a deal on some Furbys for your girlfriends. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01 | quote: Chances are, the show would be syndicated first in the largest markets-- Chicago, LA-- places similar in outlook to NYC. In other words, places where the people have a more open outlook to the stuff O&A do. Slowly (very slowly), the show would expand to the more "conservative" areas, where the reaction is more likely to be hostile at first. And as each one of those types of markets accepts O&A, then they'll try to add another "conservative" market, and so on. "ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING?"

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 01 | Also, the fact that a few different stations have been stealing O&A material may cause problems for them in these new markets. Listeners there may view O&A as unoriginal - That Would Piss Me Off!!! | ||||
