Never heard of Opie & Anthony
I have long said Howard moving was going to be his death. Why will people pay for radio when they are costumed to get it free? Maybe in several years from now, but it is going to take time to get people to be willing to pay for it. Moreover, this will come out of peoples disposable income - internet fees, higher state and local taxes, gas prices and the multiply high gas has on all goods and serves, paid sites on the net, cable TV, mobile phones and all its extras, and the price of live - there is a limit what consumers are willing to pay extra for and how much for. The economy is very strong, perhaps the strongest ever, but there is a limit on disposable income and I do not think there has ever been a market like there is now where all the different place that are competing for these finite disposable dollars.
