There is nothing lamer than a radio talk show host who tries to stir up shit with a competing host. Especially when the other host is more successful and doesn't even notice you doing it. (see: Opie and Anthony)
what the fuck are radio wars
Well Howard did have a gag order enforced on Opie and Anthony. I can see why they would be upset.

They were talking about his kids and he didn't even know who they were, other than them both being on Infinity. Opie and Anthony are just obnoxious. It's painful to listen to those whores. Howard Stern has participated in his share of gay radio war shit, but Opie and Anthony are just douche bags.
Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD is the first time that I've seen a format war. It's fucking distinguished mentally-challenged.
Howard Stern did lame radio shit all the time but usually it's not totally 100 percent unsolicited. How would you react of two guys you've never met or talked about in your life. Two guys who're beneath you in the same company were going on the air and talking shit about your kids. It's not like he wanted to stop them from doing their show or stop them from being funny.
He just didn't want two douche bags in the SAME COMPANY going on the air talking about his kids. If it was a gag order to prevent them from talking about him in general that would be a bit different but c'mon. It's also not like Howard Sterns kids are public figures. It's pretty fucked up.
Like I said Howard Stern has done a lot of the dumb radio war shtick but generally there's some base to it that isn't just professional jealousy. Howard Stern hasn't ever really made an effort to rip into them on the air, that's pretty unusual since I think if it had happened a few years prior he would have run them out of Infinity if not the broadcasting business.
It's funny we're participating in the very lameness that this thread was founded on.
Howard Stern made more money for his company than any other radio performer. Their performance on regular radio NOW is the worst CBS has seen since David Lee Roth. In fact it's worse. I cannot imagine how pissed I'd be if I were one of the (all 12,000 people) who signed up for XM for Opie and Anthony for them to switch over to a pay service, only to go back and offer the same shit on regular radio. Any performer with any real skill or talent or expression who isn't a total whore would go back to doing a butchered version of their show instead of focusing on the median that offers most creative freedom.
They're performing horribly in the ratings in every market. CBS isn't going to keep them any longer than they have to.
STAR WARS
I wouldn't say it's out of hand at all. I haven't heard Howard Stern mention Opie and Anthony at all since they replaced David Lee Roth. I'd say the radio war is pretty one sided.

I guess you haven't been listening to the show. They were brought up again the other day when Mel was in the studio to talk about the merger.
Basically that they shouldn't be hired if the company merges.
