XM has every right to hire and fire for any reason they see fit so long as it does not break any contractual agreements or the civil rights laws.

Don't like it? Cancel XM radio.

Ah, k, that was this past year I assume.
 
LOL at the free speech arguement.
These people are EMPLOYEES of a company.
The COMPANY deems what is ok for them to say. If the US govt stepped in and said "fire these guys" THAT is against free speech.
Please people STFU.

Hey, if that's the case then they made a bad business decision. But it was theirs to make.

Rumor is that there have been about 50K cancellations as of 4 pm, since the O&A announcement.

where did you hear that?

It was second hand information from one of the guests who is a regular on the show. Also, the other rumor is that O&A have already been fired. Check out wackbag.com (the biggest O&A fansite that I know of) for the rumor.
 
their topic has been censorship the last month or so and how they dont know how long they will be on the air etc...

i am calling this a publicity stunt via XM and whoever owns their show to gain listeners

Unfortunately I don't think so.

from whackbag.com (o&a message board:

I have received word that O&A have been FIRED from XM!!!

I was told this by an extremely trusted source, and not an employee/relative of an XM employee.

Get on the phone, cancel your XM. DO NOT take the 30-day credit - CANCEL it! XM will feel that much more on their bottom line than a 30-day dip.

If XM feels the sting of thousands of people canceling their subs, then there is some sort of a chance!


this is so fscking outrageous...XM hired the boys for exactly this kind of radio!

I'm calling first thing tomorrow to cancel my XM. The boys are the main reason I have it, and I can get Ron and Fez from other sources.

CBS better not drop them too...
 
HOLY MOTHER OF F***!!!!!!!!!!

I officialy have NOTHING to listen to on XM now!!! If O&A were fired, I was gonna listen to Imus!!

FU**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That's IT!!!! I'm canceling that damn service RIGHT F****** NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
JUST got through, took damn near an hour and a half... They offered me 3 free months on both radios...

I'd gladly take that if O&A were put back on the air >.>

As it is, I 'live' in California for college, so I can't listen to the boys anymore save for 92.3 online, which would be 3-6AM local time... I may listen tonight just for sh!ts.

It would be hypocritical of me to tell you to stay out of the thread when the fundamental issue here is freedom of speech...

But you're still an ass.
