Howard Stern Admits To Opie & Anthony Gag Order
March 15, 2006
The feud that started between Howard Stern and Opie & Anthony while both were
employed by Infinity Broadcasting is reaching new levels on satellite radio with
both parties taking shots at the other. But, while sitting in on Sean Hannity's
program yesterday afternoon, Stern finally admitted to the long-rumored gag order
that he had Mel Karmazin place on O&A when they were handling afternoon drive at
WNEW/New York.
When Stern was asked by a caller about the gag order, he confirmed it by
admitting, "That's right. I believe in censoring anyone who is my enemy." He also
added, "I believe in censorship when it benefits me."
Playing back that audio on their XM Satellite Radio program this morning, Anthony
noted the hypocrisy of that statement by saying, "He's been complaining that
individual members of the FCC were putting their morality on his program instead
of interpreting FCC law ... which is exactly what he did [with us]."
Earlier in the program, Stern addressed O&A by saying, "When I'm in business with
a company and they hire Howard Stern imitators to go on in the afternoon... I
don't want anyone knocking me. I have a plan every time I go up against people...
I analyze the competition and I think about you six different ways to Sunday. I
turned to Mel Karmazin at the time, 'Your two boys that you hired, who sound
identical to me, will implode. I give them three to four months. They're so
desperate to be famous, they are going to do something stupid. If they can't talk
about me, they're gonna go insane. Watch.' He laughed since I made other
predictions about radio. And I watched them implode."
While it took three years of WNEW broadcasts for O&A to, as Stern suggested,
"implode," the duo has had a successful run at XM and recently revealed they are
in negotiations for a new long term deal. But going back to the Stern drama, O&A
say they didn't start this feud, and that it was Stern who started calling them
copycats and felt threatened by their show.
"When we came into New York City .... we knew you don't come into Howard's
backyard and start bashing him," said Anthony. "What we did was slowly build up
an audience that happened to be his audience driving home. We had a common
audience. He saw that, somehow, as a threat. He saw there was potential for The
Opie & Anthony Show to get an audience and perceived it as some kind of threat to
him."
"We didn't attack him as a human being," Anthony continued, explaining they would
parody Stern. "I would do impressions of him and suggest maybe he wasn't as close
to his audience as he once was because he is winging out to the Hamptons in the
'Howie-copter.' Instead of coming back to us on the air and battling us that way,
like he had with John DeBella and many other personalities across the country, he
went behind the scenes to Mel Karmazin, and had him drag us into his office and
threaten us with a firing if we didn't stop talking about [Stern]."
Hannity, appearing on O&A's program this morning discussing the Stern interview,
tried to say Stern deserved credit for not dodging the subject, but O&A
immediately cut him off, pointing out that this is the first time in the 5+ years
that Stern has admitted to his behind-the-scenes wrangling. They also pointed out
that the issue went beyond O&A not mentioning Stern on their program and included
guests being blocked from appearing on their show. One CBS Radio insider told
FMQB that, at the time, then-K-Rock PD Steve Kingston would block music artists
from appearing on O&A's program, a statement verified by a couple anonymous
record reps. "There was an admission that they were telling people not to appear
on our show," explained Anthony.
Back to current day, O&A and their "Pests" have been wreaking havoc with portions
of Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio channels. Recently, Scott Ferrell's test run on
Sirius was derailed by O&A's fan base as they inundated and controlled the phone
lines making it impossible for Ferrell to get a caller on the air that wasn't a
fan of O&A.
O&A have also been pointing out what they call more hypocrisy by Stern for taking
off certain Fridays, playing audio of Stern, Robin Quivers and Artie Lange
discussing why it is important to be in the studio five days a week. "If you are
not there on Fridays, then you are doing a disservice to your audience," says
Stern in the audio clip. "If you are going to do this job, then you show up every
day and give it your best."
Meanwhile, despite denials by CBS Radio that have been reported elsewhere, O&A
insist they were "absolutely" contacted by the radio company to replace David Lee
Roth. "We've been negotiating with them for a few weeks," said Opie. "When it was
first presented to us, it was a done deal and then you get lawyers going back and
forth." O&A also told Hannity that there were "major hurdles" that need to be
cleared and they didn't want to "compromise the integrity" of their program to
fit terrestrial radio broadcast standards.
"We love being on satellite radio," said Opie. "If it compromises our satellite
radio show too much, then we don't want to do it."

OK, what does this article reveal?
Howard used his power to silence two lousy clones.
He admits it, so he is no longer a hypocrite, but is now a typical jew
that looks for the easiest way to solve a problem. The admission is
another tactic that throws the pests off balance. It keeps them busy
listening to thousands of hours of Stern shows in order to grab any
hypocrisy they can. Of course, when one speaks for a living and is
recorded, sooner or later, a contradictory statement will be made. Is
Howard a machine or an human insectoid hybrid? No one ever said he was
stupid, not even our gal Vicki.

The gag order puts Stern one up over Imus, since even Imus never went
that far.

Censorship by the government and censorship by a boss are two very different
things. I find it amazing that nobody on this thread gets it. Let's try a
football analogy:
A center tackles the quarterback, his own teammate. That is not a violation
of the rules, so there's no penalty from the officials. But if you're the
QB, wouldn't you ask the coach (your boss) to intervene?
Or to put it another way: How many DJ's were *not* gagged by Stern? For
starters, those that worked for other companies were free to say what they
wished. Also those that weren't considered (by Stern) bad for business.
Of course asking Howard for a serious explanation just proves Hannity has
his head in a warm dark stinky place.

HAHAHA! Listen, even Stern couldn't get away with badmouthing Mel
Karmazin on the air and had it written into his contract. So this
free speech bull---- is an illusion. You're only free to speak as
much as won't get you fired. Who kept his job and who didn't?

What I find amazing is Stern's saying that he voted for Gore and
Kerry, since the FCC commissioner who led the "decency" campaign was a
former aide to a Democrat senator and was appointed by Clinton and
since Gore's wife was leading the crusade to censor records and
require warning lables. He isn't much of a credible free speech
advocate.

Now we know why he wanted O&A to kiss his ass and come to Sirius. So
Mel could make another gag order. YOU lose Howie, you are being

Let's see. O&A weren't on at the same time as Stern, so I can't see
where whatever ratings they got would hurt Stern.

Someone who holds himself up as a brave champion of Free Speech should
NOT go around saying "I believe in censorship when it benefits me." At
the very least Stern could've been much more diplomatic in the way he
said it.

Of the three, only Mel got forced out of CBS/Infinity, IIRC. Stern

A "tactic"? Ha.
"Tactic" implies that he planned that response. His demeanor and tone
suggest otherwise.
And if his "tactic" is to show the world what a fucking hypocrite he is
("I favor censoship when it benefits *me*") then it's a pretty fucking
stupid tactic.

How does admitting it make him less a hypocrite when his hypocrisy is

I was listening to the Hannity show live and Howeird was goofing on the
caller, he was more interested in getting Hannity to talk about wanking it.

Fartman diplomatic? Maybe when John Bolton's not-congressionally-authorized

CBS paid them so they wouldn't go on another station and compete
directly with Howard Stern.
If they were nothing, they why would CBS PAY to keep the from
competing with Howie. Howie was a-scared.

I think it's more likely that CBS didn't want to more or less hand a
show with a listener base to satellite radio, which is exactly what
would've happened. By continuing to pay them for that period of time,
it gave individuals opportunity to seek out other shows instead of
blindly following O&A over to Satellite Radio.

He may have shut them up once before .. but that wasn't entirely due to him
being Howard Stern .. he was already beginning to lose his crown .. as I
understand it .. they were told that they can't say this or that and they
knew that they couldn't do a show without talking about the goblin, so they
just laid low .. I think it would have cost them money if they mentioned him
.... Well .. they aren't being quiet now from some of the clips I have
listened to and if the rumor is true about going back to FREE radio, my
guess is that Hman will have no impact on what they say or do .. They
aren't really the kind of talk show I care to listen to .. but when they are
ranting about coward and slobbin .. I start downloading ...

Wrong. This was WAY before O&A went to satellite. After their
suspension they were offered to compete directly with Howie by doing
mornings on Q104 in NY. Infinity PAID O&A to stay in their contract
so they would NOT be able to directly compete with Howie with no gag
order. They WERE a threat and they were PAID to stay OFF the air.

I saw something funny on the O&A web site the other day. They had
video and pictures of their "pests" at Howard's Late Show taping
holding signs proclaiming Opie and Anthony as the Pioneers of Satellite
Radio. First off, XM went national in 2001 three years before Opie and
Anthony spoke their first words into a satellite radio mic, so how
could they be pioneers? Now im sure the arguement could be made that
they were the first shock jocks on satellite, you've got to figure
though Howard was still under contract then and XM wanted some talk
content to their services so why not hire a couple of unemployed jerk
off's with a mild amount of fame like O&A?
Another thing that the pests will proudly show is video of them
"harassing" Stern employees outside of the Sirius building. It had to
be the most pathetic fucking thing I have ever seen. Imagine about 12
guys standing around in the cold at 4 in the morning holding "Hoo Hoo"
signs and shouting at Stern's limo as it pulls in. They really blasted
Arite too, shouting his name at him as he casually strolled into the
building.What a bunch of fucktards.
One final thing before I go, enough with talking about subscriptions.
Sure XM has more, they got a head start in the satellite radio game. I
saw on another group some XM fans saying that Sirius exceeding the 4
million mark is bull---- since they count radios in new cars as subs.
XM does the same ----! Also, since XM has more subscribers someone
please do some sort of ratings graph showing how many of XM's six
million subs actually listen to O&A. Granted not everyone with Sirius
listens to Howard, but I bet hes still getting higher ratings with his
smaller amount of subscribers than Opie and Asswipe.

Know what's funny? Sirius offered O&A more money but they turned it
down because they liked XM's technology better and liked the fact that
they had a lot more subs already that they thought would become O&A
fans. Stupid asses.

Howard already has better ratings than Imus, Roth, or Corolla.

Howard started this when he proclaimed that he was headed over to Sirius
to "pioneer satellite shock jock". Opie and Anthony then protested
(quite rightly) that they had already been doing it for fifteen months.

There are no rating as such. The companies have a good idea, but it is
proprietary information, we're unlikely to ever get it.

Wh-Wh-WHAT?! They went with the company that had better technology and
