Reading through my "XM signal guide" e-mail.Click on the "Laugh Out Loud" link.Found this bit interesting. "Replays throughout the day"????  Ron & Fez are "two of the funniest comics"???? What exactly are Ron & Fez doing on ch. 150???? Are we going to now get "best ofs" on the weekends???? Does XM even know who Ron & Fez are????<h1>Ron and Fez Weekdays at Noon ET</h1><h2>What would Comedy Month be like on XM without two of the funniest comics featured daily on High Voltage - XM 202, Ron and Fez! Catch these two each weekday from noon to 3PM ET and reruns throughout the day, plus it's the Best of Ron and Fez on the weekends too! Look for more with Ron and Fez featured on XM Comedy - XM 150 throughout the month of July as they count down their top 20 funniest comics. </h2>

my buddy in saskatchewan called me yesterday freaking out because she saw Ron and Fez on the counter at some store in the mall. It was an ad for XM and had their picture on the front. I think XM has faith in the show.

I definetely think XM has faith, I just found it funny they refered to them as "comics". While they're extremely funny, I don't really see them as comics.

Wow, I may actually have a reason to turn my MyFi off 202 for once.

Don't be so narrow Moe.  There's lots of good stuff if you look
around.  I have found a LOT of new music, just because I was
spinnin the wheel on the MyFi.

Well, they both have backgrounds in stand-up comedy.  Ron even owned a comedy club, toured with Bill Hicks and Sam Kinison, and headlined the "Disciples of Comedy" tour.

I'm not, I gave a lot of other channels a chance.  Nothing really impressed me.  I'll spin the Rock/Metal stations in the car if I happen to have left my Ipod at home, but other than that it's Ron and Fez.  I've really even cut O&A out of the picture.  I listen to Ron and Fez replays on the weekends, and usually try to leave Thursday and Friday's shows in the memory so I have something to listen to if there's not a replay on at that moment.There's a lot of content but none of it interests me.

Does the signal guide give times when R&F will be on 150, or is it random times? I can't find anything on the web site.

That's very cool to see them getting the support.  If anyone comes across a copy of the ad and is able to scan it, please e-mail it to me, and I'll throw it up in the file library.

Well, you can't call R&F "DJs" because they don't spin records. You can't call them "Shock Jocks", because then 3/4 of this board will have a meltdown. "On Air Personalities" or "Talk Hosts" sounds kind of dull for a comedy channel. I think "Comics" fits just right.  I mean, they aren't standups now, but they are people who tell jokes and inherently funny.

How about "Masters of Mayhem"?

I could actually see R&F replacing JV and Elvis on Free-FM from 9-12, then doing their High Voltage show at noon. I don't see any room for a simulcast however, given O&A's schedule. The other question is would Ron and Fez want to go back to doing 6 hours a day like the old WNEW split shifts? Also... Would they do a walkover like O&A? It seems rediculous. Even O&A should be able to broadcast from one studio at this point! Come November the whole walkover thing is gonna get really old... Isn't it nice how we speculate so?

    Given Ron's statements that Fez's participation is tied into his heart condition, I see no way in hell that R&F do a six-hour show. Plus, R&F from 9-12 would be competing with O&A.  It doesn't wash.

They are/were comics.  They've done stand up comedy.  Would you prefer 'Comedic Americans'?
