From radio-online.com: Syndicated Opie & Anthony are out at CBS Radio's WYSP-FM/Philadelphia. The duo had handled mornings on the Rock outlet since replacing David Lee Roth in April, 2006. WYSP dropped "Free FM" and flipped to fulltime Rock in September, and it now plans to play music in AM drive until further notice.
OK. We know when to acknowledge certain things. The boys, for quite some time now, have been neutered by stupid FM radio and its need to censor *everything*. So their content-controlled show just doesn't work anymore on public airwaves.
Problem is, we ended our relationship with XM last April because they suspended our heroes for no good reason. At all.
We've been listening to the ol' (new) iPod all week anyway, because really? Who's anyone to tell us what we can or can't listen to in our car for close to two-and-a-half hours a day?
(Except the shuffle play fairy, who sometimes nails it, other times, not so much with the lost Van Halen gems).
So we're sad for the boys, but more sad for the public. Do folks really realize just how much we are controlled by forces outside our power? This is a problem.
Control. We've been thinking about that word a lot lately.
