It was just an all around bad move to put out a watered down, censored version on terrestrial radio.

Hell, didn't they just get back from a months suspension for such tasteless comments about violently raping Condi Rice that went out on regular radio?

I dunno, I just have never liked them. I found them trying to hard at times. Thats just my opinion. ;)
I know Stern likes to tell people on his show that O+A aren't successful but that isn't the case, as I'm guessing you heard about the ratings on his show. I've looked online to try and find any markets that they may have pulled out of and haven't found any. I used to be a Stern fan but he has been mailing it in for years, and IMO Artie Lang is the only thing that saves the show.

The suspension was over comments made by a homeless guy regarding raping Condi Rice, and after O+A were warned about it they discussed it again the next day. XM is trying hard to protect the merger with Sirius so they suspended them, and caught a huge firestorm of shit for it.

Stern himself admitted on the Sean Hannity Show that he put a gag order on O+a to not discuss anything to do with him when they were both on Infinity, after Stern made comments about them and they retaliated. What happened to the old Stern that would take on all comers?
