K-Rock mornings to change?

[Lady Resin]

Hot on the heals of Opie & Anthony being dropped from the WJFK lineup, comes word that changes could be coming to the morning slot for K-Rock.

According to a reliable source, Chris Booker has been telling people that he is taking over mornings at K-Rock when Opie & Anthony's contract expires. The source only gave this information under the condition of anonymity.

Booker is currently the host of the Q102 Philadelphia morning drive show, though is probably best known for his work at K-Rock New York where he met Howard Stern and appeared numerous times on Stern's show.

Opie & Anthony announced they would simulcast on both terrestrial and XM Satellite Radio in April, 2006.

[reillyluck]

was booker that Evening KROCK DJ with Cabbie?

He was ok, but uggh....not for mornings.

[DiabloSammich]

I've listened to him in Philly, he's not good.

[Servo]

I think that was Kane, who's on Ethel now. Booker was the guy who had Al Dukes as his producer for a while.

[Death Metal Moe]

That guys is a fucking cocksucker.

Just wonderful. I guess it's almost time to take 92.3 off my presets again.

[reillyluck]

ahhh, you are correct, sir! THanks!

For what its worth I read Booker was on Stern this morning and denied this

[hexy68]

it's not really reliable when you start your own rumors

[chubbyknuckles]

were o&a's numbers bad, that the station wouldn't resign them immediately?

GEEEEEEE-MEN

nice callback

[JerseyRich]

Say what you want, O&A just haven't had the same standing in the Radio biz since they came back from extinction.

Their show really isn't interesting anymore, and they've totally turned into the "Let's embarass our retarded interns Show".

Just one man's opinion.

The K-Rock show was never as edgy or interesting as the WNEW show.

[DiabloSammich]

All the best, all for you.

I'm not gonna make the argument about O&A losing an edge, or being different than Wnew, or whatever. That's for more veteran members of this board.

I will say that the Booker in Philly is shit, and is not better than the present incarnation of O&A.

[led37zep]

how could it be as interesting as wnew? Radio changed so much that the boys are forced to do a different show now.

[foodcourtdruide]

To be fair, they were blaming Howard for using that excuse.

[Soupy_Dreck]

To be fair, they were blaming Howard for using that excuse.

i don't remember that... i remember them saying that it would be different than wnew but they have a passion for radio that stern doesn't have anymore...

[JerseyRich]

how could it be as interesting as wnew? Radio changed so much that the boys are forced to do a different show now.

Oh I understand that completely. It still isn't an excuse for their show not being as good. I always thought they were much better than the disgusting woman hating humor that goes on now.

For me they jumped the shark with the "Let's shave this poor woman's head and give her a wig then snatch it back on the streets of NYC."

[Great Tiger's Turban]

I am with Rich. I am actually really sick of Anthony's rants on home invasions and gambling. In the words of Jimmy "We get it, you like guns and gambling"

Well, Anthony has always worked on the direction of Opie. Opie leads him in this direction, and to be honest, he doesn't really seem like he gets into as much as in the beginning, almost like he's trying to end that conversation quickly.

Opie really has lost touch w/ what is funny, topical etc. He tries to shock for the sake of shocking with some of the things he says.

That kind of makes me think that Opie agrees with me. He may be ending Ants rants because its the same shit every other day. That and Opie is way too worried about being a famous 18 year old boy

[Gvac]

I completely understand the restraints O&A are under on terrestrial radio and it obviously makes them uncomfortable because the show has become exceedingly bland. The thing that bothers me is how little they care for the XM show.

I hope the whole "FreeFM" experiment is declared a failure and they get back to putting out a quality product on satellite, not like now where they get to XM from their "walkover" at about 9:20 and leave an hour and a half later. It's like they can't wait to get the fuck out of there.

no, i look at it the other way... Opie always brings these things up and Ant tries to get through it quickly... imo anyway

[Great Tiger's Turban]

no, i look at it the other way... Opie always brings these things up and Ant tries to get through it quickly... imo anyway

Ok, I can go with that. I don't thin Op is the sole problem though. Ant has gotten a lot more self involved and his "over the top" racism is starting to bug me. I feel that he tries way too hard to top norton IMO

[Gvac]

And could Ant laugh any harder at ANYTHING Norton says?

The show has gotten way too 'Z Morning Zoo' for my taste.

Thank God this isn't Wackbag, by the way. We'd all be banned.

Cant say it any better than that. I dont pretend to keep track of ratings but I know O&A have been dropped in countless markets since returning to FM. its not surprising if they get let go from 92.3. They should just focus on xm and bring a quality show into the merger.

[TheGameHHH]

Not only that, but i'm also tired of hearing how much he won or how much he was gambling with. cool, you're rich. but we can't relate to betting $12,000 a hand in blackjack or winning $125,000 a night. it just gets to the point that it's unidentifiable. at that point i change the dial.

[Gvac]

I CANNOT stand when Ant interrupts and laffs at his own unfunny lines. Let Ope get the show flowing. Ope found YOU Ant. Your should be grateful in your frigging mansion that you live in.

[MikeB]

You can tell how Anthony's ego has grown not by him turning on the hardcore fans (FBA), staying up getting drunk the night before the show knowing he could just not do the xm show, dumping out of FBA mentions, giving out social security numbers, but rather his microphone.

His mic is sooooo much louder than everyone elses and it isnt just at CBS anymore. Yet when he was not there, no one had a loud mic like his. It is so incredibly loud and overbearing it is just comical.

Can't wait to see how they spin being kicked off CBS in march.

[Marc with a c]

Can't wait to see how they spin being kicked off CBS in march.

they want to concentrate on the xm show, and make really good radio.

there are to many restrictions on fm.

we aren't funny anymore.

[Dirtybird12]

:huh:I heard a rumor that Michael Hughes is replacing Tom and he's bringing Don and Mike to mornings. doubtful..but thats what I hear

[Gvac]

I wish Giant Brian and Perrynoid would take over the slot.

They're too good for Atlanta!

[MadMatt]

Why the hell would K-Rock pick up Booker if they are switching to a Country format? He would be out of his element and simply isn't 'strong' enough to make a show work in that kind of format.

They might as well keep O&A in that case.

[donnie_darko]

lets not forget the "we're not doing this hack bit, but we're making fun of the hack radio bit by doing it in a mocking fashion"

ugh

and opie with his "rightrights" is nearly as bad as listening to fez when he used to grunt constantly.

and line of the day....is it ever funny?

[Dan 'Hampton]

Used to be semi entertaining.
NO REST NO PEACE till CT and Jivin get their chance.

Guarantee you'll hear "it's just impossible to do anything on commercial radio anymore" and "they're screwing themselves" alternatingly for about a week straight.

Because they aren't switching to country. That was a ruse.

[nevnut]

Tee Hee Hee!!!

[CofyCrakCocaine]

I think they're just different because it's a different environment, and not just because of the changes in radioland and morality. For fuck's sake, I'm a different person in the morning than I am in the afternoon. Way more laid back, less uptight, not ready to be Mr.Productivity like I tend to be in the morning. They had more sleep too and had a night life in the WNEW days which definitely enhances one's personality.

Oh, and I miss over-the-top Producer Rick.

[MikeB]

I think they're just different because of money.
fixed.

[Johnny4]

Apparently, there is a virus. It seems to be shutting down radio sations and turning nobs to another station across the country.

[Fallon]

I'm gonna be selfish and hope the go back to being exclusive to XM. It was a better show.

Thats because they CAN'T. They have completely lost touch with us and passion. unfortunatley it isn't just their show losing passion.........

I thought Ant would be more level headed, but it just proves once again that money changes people.

Why would they need to spin, don't you all remember opie declaring "Were gonna show people you can do an entertaining show even with the FCC restrictions."

I would LOVE for them to admit Stern was right the whole time, but wait that would make Opies head explode.

[MikeB]

For some reason the fake laughs are sticking out to me more than usual today.

[sailor]

i completely disagree with the lack of passion comments. quite a lot of the time their best segments of the day are from the xm side. just yesterday, their spot on the porn 8-track (now, with irish guy!) was fuckin' hilarious.

Sounds like someone is trying to be a mock jock.
And we all know who invented THAT bit.

That had me laughing my ass off, but I'm sure WNEW Opie wouldn't have been giving summaries of the clips before they get played. Teasing something is fine, spoiling it so there is no surprise when they finally get played is not. They've bitched so much about how movie trailers spoil the movie and yet they do the same kind of thing whenever they play audio they explain the whole fucking clip before they even play it.

Also, they had serious ADD with playing those clips, making a 30 minute pause between clips to talk about Otto taking a picture or something.

So they're still funny, but showing their age and disconnect.

[MikeB]

why are you listening to a radio show you hate?
Why dont you ask gvac that?

Sounds like someone is picking and choosing his battles again.

[ATMfromChico]

You know this isn't a simple black/white, hater/lover discussion. When O&A came to XM they were hungry to do well. They had no restrictions and those two years were fucking hilarious. They had not explored their bounds. And they had a goal. They wanted nothing more than to take Stern down. When Stern moved to the dog company and they were able to move into both FM, AM, and XM they accomplished their goal. They were heard by far more people then Stern. And they were able to do much of what they wanted. Until CBS started restricting them more and more. IMUS was of course a catalyst to walking very carefully. Then the suspension on XM. Who really saw that coming? Suddenly they had to hang onto the CBS side of the equation much harder, even though their creativity was stymied by CBS policies. When that finally cleared up they were in a position where they had to walk on eggshells with CBS and had to actually restrict some of the things they wanted to do on XM. On a personal level I enjoyed the 4hour XM show far more than what is presented now. And let's be honest we don't even get two hours, unless there is bonus time on XM, since you have to count a fifteen minute block of "worst of" while they make the trek to XM between shows. But I will take this current incarnation, and enjoy it, over the boys getting kicked off of CBS and then having to balance on a razor's edge because of the merger. Plus if you really like O&A then you want them to have financial success beyond your own desire for the ghost of radio past. It all goes hand in hand.

[moochcassidy]

Yes you are. You sure love to come into any thread I am in and directing your post towards me instead of the subject. Your search link must be worn out.

Why not asking everyone else in the thread? But a lot of those people are in the New York crowd, not someone somewhere else in the country or a woman on the radio which seem to be your normal targets.

[Snoogans]

booker worked overnight when he was on Krock. He was actually a pretty cool guy, he would actually play shit people asked for cause it was so late. He was also the one people would give shit to for playin like Eminem and Jay Z and shit at like 2 am

[ChimneyFish]

Also, they had serious ADD

You do realize you're listening to the Opie and Anthony Show, correct????

Because they aren't switching to country. That was a ruse.

Thanks for expressing MY opinion for me because I totally agree with you - and i dont have to type it all out.
The rules have changed and are a changing. If they can keep Govt out of satellite radio, then let all the best acts be there. Terrestrial radio just sucks.

He was the best.:smoke:

[AKA]

O&A have done entire shows (going back to NEW) about other hosts they hate - playing every little bit, and obsessing about it, pointing things out they think stinks, and cultivating their fans to do the same - so it never surprises me when someone that is, or was, a listener turns back that criticism back on them. Some fans could use thicker skins, and others might need to admit that they aren't fans anymore, and move on.

That said - for the most part ronfez.net is a reflection of the show R&F do, and (generally) tries to stay above it. Mostly out of friendship, but you also see the same extended to shows they were never that chummy with (again, for the most part). There's plenty hater boards out there on this topic as it is - it would be nice to keep that brand off this one.

Suddenly they had to hang onto the CBS side of the equation much harder, even though their creativity was stymied by CBS policies.

Its true that new restrictions in radio prevent O&A from doing the type of radio they did at WNEW but how much "creativity" is there too their comedy? And how creative/funny are you in the first place if you cant adapt and be funny anywhere? And they are funny occassionaly. But every time I listen, even when im laughing, I fully understand why they are not "catching on" like they'd hoped.

[ATMfromChico]

And how creative/funny are you in the first place if you cant adapt and be funny anywhere?

Well 1st off when you are known for getting great laugh from the most "inappropriate humor" and suddenly every avenue of being inappropriate are taken away that makes it a bit difficult. It kinda goes from a jew, a black, and a homo walk into a bar and changes it into these three guys of indistinct religion, color and sexual preference enter into an establishment that serves alcoholic beverages. This takes the punch out of the humor. Kinda like when you make Beetle song paradoy titles based off of Heather Mill's miscarriage. Cringe inducing on XM, but you will never hear anything remotely like that on CBS. Again because of the restrictions. It would be like telling Jim Norton that he has to do airline jokes on his HBO special.

That aside, I've watched this happen before. I used to listen to two guys out of Los Angeles that started in 1987. Mark and Brian. In the beginning they were true shock jocks, the west coast version of Stern and O&A. Their humor was banal, they cursed on over the air and never got in trouble, and they were entertaining as hell. And then two things happened. They were bought out by Disney, and Janet Jackson happened. Suddenly they went from being cutting edge shock jocks, to two guys in their 40's talking about their familes, American Idol, and other bland stuff.

I think if O&A went back to strictly XM their show would sharpen quite a bit, but remember it is all tempered with time. Things that were funny ten years ago can't be repeated with the same edge it had then.

Comparing O and A to Mark and Brian is an insult to even O and A.

yeh

but the stern comparison is fine with me

[ATMfromChico]

Comparing O and A to Mark and Brian is an insult to even O and A.

No insult intended. However in the late 80's Mark and Brian were actually a respectable radio duo. I still hold O&A as my favorite in any time frame. It was just an example of how corporate restrictions can take the punch out of humor.
