O&A fucked up not owning their own content.

[Sue2]

As we know O&A are both probably struggling for cash, no doubt they have less than whatever they had 10 years ago. Now the idea of a reunion is floating around to scrape some cash together. But the way to avoid all of this is if they owned the rights to O&A and posted clips of it. (Don’t hit me with something about how SXM would own it / not sell it - this is a hypothetical here.)

I am going to now list a bunch of Youtube clips from O&A posted by third party channels. It’ll be arranged by title, uploader, views, and total views across all clips. So lets see:

I think i’ve listed enough in meticulous detail. The fffucking site motherfucked me and deleted everything I wrote so insert a big “trust me bro” here.

There are maybe 10 more videos that crack 300k.

There are maybe 30 more videos that crack 200k.

And there are 160 more videos that crack 100k.

Adding all of these up gets a total of 46 million views across their content, and this is not even including shit they actually uploaded to their own channels.

Looking up ad revenue per view on youtube you get answers ranging from 10 cents per view to 0.08 of a cent. However we will choose the middling option of a penny a view. This means that if O&A uploaded the same content at the exact same time they’d make…

4 Million dollars! RIGHTEOUS BUCKS!

You know I honestly thought the number would be higher but I already spent enough time on this so i’m posting it anyway.

It's mostly abandonware anyway. Seriously doubt whatever subsidiary of Infinity that might retain tapes from 1998-2002 would even know/bother to act on it if O&A posted old shit in master tape quality. The DMAN has been trying to get Opie to break out the shoeboxes of DAT tapes for a while.

WWAWD Erock archive of WNEW tapes he says he has but isn't releasing for some reason?

 

[lilconnorpeterson]

If they owned it then it wouldn't be so much a YouTube revenue thing but probably something they could actually charge for on a subscription service.

Compound Media for example, if Anthony had an O&A archive running on there along with his own show and a couple of other compelling shows then that network really becomes valuable.

He tried to do it on demand, but Keith couldn't figure it out.

 

[BonnieMcFarlaneMe2]

They should pull a Taylor Swift and re record all of their best shows/clips then resell them.

Figure it out in terms of licensing or just familiar incompetence?

when did he last talk about it?

That had to be 2022 or 2023. I definitely remember reading about it around then. Either way fatty pig fatty doesn’t have any right to do shit with them.

Only ever see him reposting satellite era shit.

 

[BenDovid]

Only ever see him reposting satellite era shit.

Pre-XM was 2002.

22 years ago.

I think because that was when he worked on the show. Pre satellite was when he was a fanboy. It would be a different type of repost

 

[I'm Not Loying]

No clue but IIRC he has high quality tapes of WNEW-era stuff that hasn't been heard since the original airings.

Nice ninja edit from "24 years ago", stupid.

YOU DONT SAY???!!

Yes, and?

He may have the missing periods in 99 and 2000 that Anthony had wiped.
