It was one of the worst kept secrets in radio and today it was made official by all parties involved - Opie & Anthony of XM Radio, will return to CBS radio in seven major US markets on April 26.
The pair, Gregg "Opie" Hughes and "Anthony" Cumia will replace David Lee Roth, who was originally hired to replace shock jock, Howard Stern, who himself vacated terrestrial radio for SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
CBS showed Roth the door last week because of poor ratings.
Under the terms of the new agreement between CBS and O&E, CBS radio will broadcast a three-hour version of the Opie & Anthony show on their stations from 6:00-9:00AM, ET each weekday morning. The show will originate from New York and be simulcast on XM Radio uncensored. Opie and Anthony will continue to broadcast from 9:00-11:00AM, ET exclusively for XM subscribers live from their current XM studio in New York.
Additionally, CBS RADIO stations in New York, Dallas and Philadelphia will stream the three-hour show online at http://www.923freefm.com, http://www.1053freefm.com and http://www.941freefm.com,
Financial terms were not released to the public. MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT: Sirius Fan Newtwork |
