Re: [TV orNotTV] NoTV: SXM Breaks Up Opie Anthony

2014-07-14 Thread Bob Jersey

The now-solo Opie, to nobody's surprise, bashed the firing, and was unsure 
of the duo's future at what's now called SiriusXM Talk.

Re: [TV orNotTV] NoTV: SXM Breaks Up Opie Anthony

2014-07-09 Thread Doug Eastick
I started listening to OA a few weeks ago during my one hour commute.   I 
don't listen for the full hour,  as with most sxm incessant rambling, I can't 
handle it that long.I've been away from sxm all week,  but I'm not sad to 
see one of these guys go. The third guy Jim is more entertaining than the 
other two. 

I've read the guys tweets and I would have fired him too , given his role and 
job.

faux sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral with their encouragement.  When
Sirius

Howard Stern on the service's personality lineup in the shock jock 
category, something that they seem to have accepted until now.  No

himself 
or with a new partner--The Opie  Anthony Channel is still on SXM's 
listings as channel 206.
