Looks like more cryptic talk from Opie suggesting Jason Ellis is taking his time slot, and he's possibly getting punted from Sirius altogether. Cue a half baked, too late O&A reunion in Cumia's basement.

share to other sites if it's funny, i don't need credit. first time trying to chroma key a video with a really bad background, which sucks and is longer than the 10 minutes i was willing to put into this

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.

I've always liked O&As guests, but haven't ever really had them click with me. I have been listening to Jim and Sam for the last week or so since they were on Ellis and I do really like them. I'm happy with this move, and the more I look at everything Opie has done in the last year (2?), I kinda see why the brass don't really care that much about keeping him happy.

Looking forward to the new channel, especially Jude getting a talk only show.

Sam and Jim then Ellis then Opie? Maybe when Opie hits the bricks they can bring Ronnie B. in. Also Ellis confirmed on his facebook that it's starting in January.

Did Ellis get better at doing radio? I remember him as being Jocktober material. I haven't listened to him since that Jim Jefferies bit though.

Nah. He was on the Bonfire not too long ago and was doing his alpha male extreme bullshit still. It blows my mind that Sirius would give him a channel with this much weight.

You didn't read the whole sentence you goose. Also this is just my opinion but I don't think 'just fine where he is' = a middle of nowhere station with not even enough bandwidth devoted to it to prevent your voice from sounding robotic half the time.

They're probably giving Ellis a chance before they just move Bennington over, or running out contracts so if Ron wanted to move to fit into the channel he could. To have Jim & Sam and then Bennington would be the best of all worlds.

Oh, and in Jocktober-esque news, remember Blaine and Allyson and how Allyson has been out of work for a few years and was getting by on a lovely podcast? Well, she's got a job in Detroit again:

https://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/108993/allyson-martinek-joins-wnics-jay-towers-in-the-morning/

And...she's an 'on-air personality' an actual co-host on an established show whose station is the local 24/7 Christmas station. A step up in the saddest way possible.

Edit: mistook 'on-air personality' as 'low rung producer type' when in reality she's a co-host which isn't as bad but still sad in many ways.

Pretty much. Chip is a character he does. The whole joke is just basically that Chip is lame and annoying and it really irritates people. It's really more of an in-joke. You use it specifically to irritate your friends/loved ones. That's what makes it funny. The joke is Chip is awful.

Smugworth posted:

After Ant got fired, the station got re-branded. Opie being the narcissist that he is wanted it named after him. It won't be long though. Apparently it's being re-re-branded as Faction talk come January and Jason Ellis will be on the channel.
