Apparently Citadel's decision to drop "Opie & Anthony" from the 95X lineup yesterday, replacing it with a music-intensive show branded as "Shut Up and Rock" was a surprise to O&A themselves.
A summary of Monday morning's show on the duo's own website says a listener from Syracuse called into the show between 6:00 and 6:30am, asking why they weren't being heard on 95X. The post explains Citadel wasn't pleased with the show and "it was only through a back room deal that O&A were able to keep the show on in Buffalo," referring to Citadel's 103.3 The Edge (WEDG), the O&A affiliate in that market.
The 7:00 section of the summary begins with a brief update, claiming even more Syracuse listeners have called in, wondering why O&A aren't on 95X. It goes on to slam Citadel's stock performance and name... which we imagine won't do much to convince Citadel to change its minds.
