ONA off air

Anthony having a heart attack and still being alive 20 years later looking like he does is a medical marvel. Who knew heart attacks caused your face to completely change

on their very first xm show, opie jokingly said they went from having an audience in the millions to one the size of the population of des moines, iowa. even though he was being facetious, it was likely fairly accurate. I've heard they generally only averaged round 77k - 100k listeners per episode on satellite radio, which is pretty wild when you consider they had about 10 million listeners an episode when they were on wnew

They would also talk about how they could count the number of XM antennas on one hand and would get depressed over it.

Carlin had heart attacks and he became fully bloated in the face for the last twenty years of his life. He was also an alcoholic and drug addict. And a faggot like Anthony as well.

This is a complete bullshit metric but Anthony vs Opie clips still get 100k views average whenever he puts them out. The complete saga of their fights has 500k views. Archived segments that get reposted get an average 1k views in a day. This is all after being off the air for 10 years. Opie and Anthony generously had the privilege that Stern did where even if they moved to a paid service their fans were so hungry they would go to it.

I highly doubt that Stern ever beat O&A on satellite radio outside of his first year or two on Sirius. His audience is entirely gone now as well. Because of how infrequently he broadcasted his show he never had a consistent audience. The days he ran best of shows probably no one was listening so his ratings would be in the toilet those days.

It should also be noted that by the merger had happened the prime years of Howard seemed to be over, and by 2012 he went full jew. Howards popularity by that time was on the account of jewish fuckery, interviewing Hollywood celebrities, and parading around his cat loving wife. O&A were still doing crazy shit like the Lady Di Internship by 2013 which is arguably one of their best bits. Nothing Howard did after 2005 could ever be a contender for his “best bit”, so while Howard may have even been growing it was from a mainstream audience that wouldn’t give a fuck if he was fired, while O&A’s fanbase were mostly hardcore listeners that would give a fuck if they were fired.

Obviously with 'hollywood accounting' these entertainment companies are laundering money and lying and so on. But satellite radio was even more deceptive and ridiculous in that their subscriber 'counts' would include people who got a free radio with a new car purchase. And they were trying to count subs for installed radios at one point that were not even activated. They also would use 'Howie math' as well and try to count one active sub as like 3-4 listeners because people drive with their families or carpool all of the time. So you never know how many people could be listening. Like a radio installed in a grocery store or retail store could have 500 people listening at once.

This same thing would happen with AM/FM ratings as well. And happens now with streaming sites. Like if you watch the first five minutes of any program on Amazon or Netflix you get counted as a viewer. If you watch the first quarter of the Super Bowl you get counted as if you watched the entire thing. If you get a free sub to some streaming service for some promotion you get counted as a subscriber technically. Just like Disney+ and Paramount+ and so on are losing billions of dollars every year. I would guess that Sirius and XM have never turned an actual profit.

But one thing we know is that whenever O&A would talk about anything it would become number one topic on google search, twitter, and other social media. They were clearly driving content and discussions online more than any other program. You look up other radio stations and shows from that time and almost every link ends up being Jocktober or some O&A link. And the pests were so much larger than other shows that they could completely swamp them like when the fans took over Scott Farrel's show on Howard's channel.

I highly doubt that Stern ever beat O&A on satellite radio outside of his first year or two on Sirius. His audience is entirely gone now as well. Because of how infrequently he broadcasted his show he never had a consistent audience. The days he ran best of shows probably no one was listening so his ratings would be in the toilet those days.

I only read the first sentence but I’m still counted as a ribber.

Nothing funny happened after Artie was fired. The only arguable mention was the speed dating game.
