Howard will get them fired.

Don't know about Ron & Fez.

Do you guys think these are being replaced or are the starting to clear some bandwith in anticipation of their upcoming sirius on xm with the merger?

I'd think they're still a few months away any new content even after the merger is final, which hasn't happened yet.

I just wish they would completly remove xm and just go with sirius. Sirius's lineup is way better than xm.

Howard sucks..... My wife and I will cancel our XM if Opie and Anthony go, and I think they will find that to be the case with a lot of subscribers. If they think that those who enjoy Opie and Anthony will just switch over and listen to that idiot Howard Stern, they have a lot to learn about their subscribers.

I've heard the music stations on both and hate the excessive DJ chatter on Sirius radio. XM has far better music stations. So if they get rid of all the XM ones and keep their Sirius counterparts, that too will be a cancellation reason in my book.

So, they can keep Howard but they aren't going to pay him with my subscription fees if they go making too many changes.

Opie made some cryptic comment this morning on XM about 78 days left. I assume that meant 78 days till their contract expires.

I never listen to the XM stations on Direct, but I do have XM service (MyFi portable XM receiver) that I listen to in the car and when I am skiing. It is nice to be able to listen to my Dodgers while doing spring skiing in the Rockies. With that said, I have never heard of these stations anyway. I pretty much only listen to Boneyard, Top Tracks, Deep Tracks, Big Tracks, some of the talk stations, MLB Homeplate, and the MLB stations.
