How is mediocre ratings, barely better than DLR, a huge success. Face it:
spin away, and you still can't show that O&A are doing anything more than
mediocre, at best. They got beat by IMUS!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

That's not too hard of a "what if" to answer. Judging from the ratings
that Opie and Anthony had at the time that they were fired from
WNEW.... instead of bad ratings that are less than double one of
morning radio's worst ratings disasters, bad ratings that are less than
three times one of morning radio's worst ratings disasters, and a long
way away from the ratings that Stern had

Clearly, all is forgiven.

Years after the scandal and the protests, and months after they
abandoned the confines of terrestrial radio for the no-holds-barred of
satellite, today it's like Opie and Anthony never even left.

Yesterday's release of the spring ratings book verified the triumphant
return of the shock jocks to the airwaves with a 3.4 share of listeners
18 to 34 at WFNY (92.3 FM, Free FM) between the hours of 6 and 10 a.m.
