Evidently Jason Ellis announced this morning that Opie Radio will become Faction Talk. Opie said on Twitter that he is going to hang around until the end of his contract.

Too Long; Didn't Listen: Opie had apparently been complaining about not being included in a coming 30 for 30 documentary, even though O&A contributed to XFL. Turns out he DID get invites but never checked his email. Then, Opie and Charlie Ebersol were starting to patch things up, Opie hung up on him, only to find out via Roland that Charlie was about to give the phone to his father Dick Ebersol.

Opie blew it.

I did enjoy that the others in the studio ripped in to Opie about ignoring the invite especially when Jerry Jones (Dallas cowboys owner) was in the doc.

loving opie.

How exactly did the opie and Howard rivalry begin anyway?

Since this looks like it may be his downfall

Just getting this from the Stern thread: apparently Artie went nuts on Opie's show with racial slurs and this may have gotten Artie fired from his show with Apatow. And of course, this is Opie's fault because Artie is a manbaby.

In short: God hates Opie, apparently.

I actually heard this- they started the show playing a John Lennon song called "woman is the n****r of the world" and then Artie proceeded through the entire next bit to rename popular Beatles songs with the n word included. Opie said a couple too. Even made a joke about "what will the YouTube guys name this one"

I didn't realize Troy's last name was Henson until they said it on air. Also that guy is turning 40 this year. I'd have thought he was like 24-26 the way he acts.

I missed what was said about it but the caption on the screen of my radio was "channel changes" when I turned it on this morning to Jim and Sam. They ended the conversation talking about Opie and what "might" be going on with him.

I hate the ads as much as anybody but I’m sure Sirius didn’t make a conscious decision to only allow some companies to advertise that wasn’t based on “gas enough money to buy ad space”

Ant also teased an announcement of having signed a cohost for his show. I'm sure it's not Opie but I bet he got a lot of people's hopes up.

As much as I find Anthony to be a poo poo I kind of enjoyed him being back on there today.
