Well I think this one was just a matter of time. I mean how long did people think it would be until Opie and Anthony would be heard in XM’s home town of Washinton DC. Well, according to this its not too far off. The thing I find most interesting about it is that the article eludes to O & A picking up the mid day spot @ WJFK. I dont think they’ll have any issues roping in listeners then, but I do find that time slot an intriguing place to put the boys.
I’m filing this one as rumor, but probably not for long.
June is offcially declared as Black Music month XM . There will be several artists featured across several channels. Here’s XM’s promo page for the event. There are alot of special events including station takeovers….looks like an excellent lineup…check it out !!!
