You could hear Opie and Anthony nudging one another, goosing their on-air partner as they savored every twist and cringe in the painful tale of the man whose penile implant kept him aroused at all times for 10 years.

For two guys who make their living on the radio capturing the ears of men in their physical prime, the story was a godsend. "It was pure comedy," says Opie (Gregg Hughes). "The guy couldn't hug anybody. He couldn't wear a swimsuit. We figured we could do this on the radio because the story was in the newspaper."

But the "Opie & Anthony Show" isn't just any two guys mouthing off on the air. This is a comedy duo with a past; these are radio bad boys whose every utterance is monitored by network attorneys and government regulators. And the rules on FM radio have become much stricter in the post-Janet Jackson era, especially now that Congress and the FCC have jacked up the fines that stations face for airing indecent material during hours when children are likely to be listening.

So midway through the chatter about the poor fellow and his malfunctioning implant, the radio jocks pulled the plug on their own banter. "You know," Opie said, "let's just save this for XM."

Every weekday morning since April, for three hours, Opie and Anthony have performed an "FCC-compliant" show on 11 CBS stations, including WJFK (106.7 FM) in Washington. When the guys finish their stint on broadcast radio, they walk a couple of Manhattan blocks to the studios of XM Satellite Radio, where they continue their show for two hours of anything-goes comedy. Pay satellite radio is not subject to federal content regulations.

great story

you know it shouldn't be in the news area though. This area is for huge impacting events.

On OnA's first day back on the air they had the the head of the Catholic league on to give a thumbs up to them returning to regular radio. This was a Huge Deal for that reason AND, being Howard Stern's nemisis, they took his slot in NY and all around the country. Their return was covered by Access Hollywood, E! channel, Hannity and Colmes among others.

Still not a headline news type thing. I didn't say it wasn't a news story or covered by popular people. I said it isn't the type for this particular area though.

I would understand you saying that if I had put it in serious topics but this section is called "In the News". Even in your last response you say this is a news story. This Radio show is a major player in 3 seperate companies that all trade on the NYSE. Thats why it deserves to be here more then entertainment.

I saw them on Jay Leno this week.
