Shock Jock Week: Opie and Anthony on Ru Paul & Frankie Blue and their former station, 102.7 WNEW New York
Nothing is off limits to these two! This recording of the O & A show on XM Radio was made shortly after the duo’s satellite radio start, and they go off on their former employer, Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS, Inc), the new format on WNEW.
This features a recording of the Frankie Blue show on WNEW which O & A are playing on their show. And, you’ll probably agree after listening… yea, Frankie Blue sounds like he’s schnockered!!! A bit of advice for you high profile local jocks… don’t open yourself up with this kind of a show, because you’ll be rewarded with national publicity, at least if Opie and Anthony hear your tape!
PARENTAL ADVISORY - for vulgarity and sexual innuendos. This is definitely not something for kids! You’ve been warned. This goes on for 21 minutes, and if you can get by the foul language, you’ll be rolling with laughter!

I have to say it’s good to see that O&A are still as brainless as they ever were on WNEW with that has been comic whats-his-name. But even as pointless, and stupid as they usually are, they have a point this time around. Thats some embarassing shit, what with Franky Blue messing up the call letters, and slurring words, and just being a loser dengenerate while on air. You all must be soooo happy that Howard finally went over to satilite radio. A few months ago everyone could hear how badly you were imitating him, now it’s just left up to the memories of people over 30, that remember Howards old great shows, and how O&A still to this day try but can’t hold a candle to him. Radio isn’t what it used to be, since the demise of WABC Music radio, it’s just gotten worse and worse year after year. O&A have a point though, maybe it’s a good idea for a new format… Lets listen to people on the radio that are just blown out of their skulls on alcohol or whatever kind of chemical concoctions, yea thats it, they’ll take calls from the public, where we all call in, and guess what the announcer is on that morning, and the winner gets whatever prizes they’re offering that day for guessing, the right mind altering mix of chemicals that the DJ is on. I’d listen every day.
The reason we posted this is just that… while O&A leave much to be desired (and certainly don’t fit the “Classic” description), they make a great point about the state of radio in general. No, most hosts don’t show up for work in an altered state (I should know, having done morning drive with many different people over the years), but there is a lax mentality in this business… an apathy which is taking over at many stations, and much of that is simply because many on air folks are depressed at the prospects that their job might be the next one eliminated.
But, Frankie Blue? If one wanted to keep their job, this sure wasn’t the way.
You know, no matter how much we complain about it, radio is NEVER going to return to the ‘glory days’ we remember from the 60s and 70s. You can never look backward in this business, only forward. So, we can only hope that stations figure it out and program real personality radio someday, with intelligent, funny and compelling personalities the way we remember… of course with a modern format. Most of today’s radio is trash, and that’s why you don’t hear a lot of newer airchecks from the last 10 years.
