I can't get through that video every time I attempt to watch it. I think it is because the enormous amount of horse dung coming out of Mancow's noisehole during it. Who died and made him an expert?

@k22digg"I agree that Stern did not bring all 6 million subscribers that have joined since March 2004. You are wrong in one of your assumptions though. Stern announced his move to Sirius on October 6, 2004 and didn't start until January 9, 2006. To not give him ANY credit for the increase in subscribers between 2004 and the end of 2005 is not accurate."I'm not wrong because I never made that assumption. I didn't say he didn't get ANY subscribers prior to his start in 2006. I was responding to yeediddy who stated that Howie brought in all 6M subscribers. But I seriously doubt he brought in the 3M sub increase (or anywhere close) between 2004 and 2005.Either way, this isn't a Stern vs O&A issue. It's an issue about censorship on satellite radio and I think it should be a definite concern for all satellite radio customers, especially with the upcoming merger. Trust me, Stern isn't impervious to Sharpton and other special interest groups. I don't see why O&A fans and Stern fans can't see this as an issue of satellite radio censorship that could effect us all and stand up together to fight it.

I have received word that O&A have been FIRED from XML!!! I was told this by an extremely trusted source, and not an employee/relative of an XML employee. Get on the phone, cancel your XML. DO NOT take the 30-day credit - CANCEL it! XML will feel that much more on their bottom line than a 30-day dip. If XML feels the sting of thousands of people canceling their subs, then there is some sort of a chance! What to do next?? THINK SNATCHING YOUR MONEY BACK FROM XML ISN'T ENOUGH? WANT TO MAKE MORE OF AN IMPRESSION ON XML?? TOMORROW MORNING (5/16/07), THERE WILL BE A PROTEST OF XML, AND A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESS AT THE FREE FM STUDIOS IN NY! BRING YOUR XML UNIT TO SMASH IT IN PROTEST!! MAKE SOME NOISE!! AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE SHOW!!! -Ag people, wake the f**k up this isn't Russia!Anthony, looks like you'll be getting your pod cast after all.. Hope you put a few bags of money in the bank for payments on the new cobra (you Polly paid cash anyways though...).,......GOOD LUCK BRO!

I am seriously so tired of this bulls**t. Satellite radio was a godly invention that allowed free speech (for a monthly fee) to be uncensored and broadcasted to people who CHOSE to listen to it. If it doesn't please your ears, feel free to tune into the hundreds of other channels available at the touch of a button. No one should let the SAT radio stations stoop down to the level of the current radio stations.Censorship has gone much too far!I'm starting my own Satellite radio company, who's with me?

Again sitting on hold listening to XM73 - the Bore. They really make every attempt to prevent you from cancelling.

Disclaimer: I've never listened to Opie and Anthony in my life and probably never will, but here's what I think really happened.Opie and Anthony wanted to take an extended 2 or 3 week summer vacation, which as I understand it isn't unheard of for a lot of these big time radio personalities. But why just say "We're going on vacation" and plug in guest hosts or best-of's when you can manufacture a controversy and get everyone riled up and talking about your show while you're away?

@unregWhat "actions" are you referring to? When did words become "actions" and when did the "actions" of some homeless person dictate the suspension of radio personalities?Finding some obscure quote on the first amendment and the limitations of it do not make you sound smart.I am digging you down for having the debating skills of an autistic dog.
