Well, what does this news about the Opie & Anthony deal do to CBS’ suit against Howard Stern, which complains about him promoting satellite radio even after they’d allowed it:
For three hours each weekday, Opie and Anthony would do a cleaner version of their usual show — one acceptable under broadcast standards — for the CBS audience, produced in the Midtown Manhattan studios of WFNY (92.3 FM), a CBS station. That portion of the show would also be heard on XM.
After that show, the two hosts — whose real names are Gregg Hughes and Anthony Cumia — would travel to XM’s studios nearby for two additional hours of the show, unrestrained. As part of the deal, Opie and Anthony would be allowed to use the end of the CBS show to plug their satellite program, said the executives, who were granted anonymity because the negotiations are still under way.
