How did Anthony wipe them from existence? Nobody tape traded back then? I don't remember the specific reason but wasn't it something to do with lobster girl?He may have the missing periods in 99 and 2000 that Anthony had wiped.

If Erik Nagel, former producer, releases it for monetary gain that would be likely to trigger a legal response. As opposed to a random anonymous YouTuberWWAWD Erock archive of WNEW tapes he says he has but isn't releasing for some reason?
for monetary gain
When did the WNEW archive pre-2001 or so get erased from the internet?O&A both had their own ties to the tape traders (file sharers.) In fact this is how Erock got hired at XM (he was SexBagel)
There was a time where the entire WNEW run was available online in mp3 format. Ant had everything surrounding the Lobster Girl timeline wiped by his pals who posted the shows. He also dumped out of the show when callers mentioned forums where they talked about it.
There is audio of the Lobster Girl stuff out there as someone posted clips a few times to long-dead file sharing sites. And of course the master tapes which Opie and apparently Erock claim to have.

It feels somebody outside of Erock/Opie has to have that. I feel some pest would keep the episodes for himself even though Anthony wanted it gone off the internet.The divorce was finalized March 2002, so likely around then. But a lot of the files survived until the site spreadtheonavirus didn't have giant chinks of 99 and 2000 which was O&A at their height.
He tried to do it on demand, but Keith couldn't figure it out.
I feel like that'd be worth figuring out. I love that they just went "Nah too hard" and just left a considerable amount of money on the table from not streaming it.
Compare it to say the lost Dr Who episodes. The archives are gone because BBC didn’t keep them. It’s entirely possible someone out there has tapes of these episodes they purposefully or unknowingly recorded. But i’ll get back into O&A to explain why it’s hard to get these:It feels somebody outside of Erock/Opie has to have that.

The point about Doctor Who; That was in the 1960s when home video recording was still in its infancy and if the production company/network that made the show decided to wipe it, it was gone for good. It's also why stuff like the New York-era Tonight Show with Carson sadly doesn't exist; NBC reused the tapes. Carson eventually had his production company make a note to save episodes from 1973 onward. Tape trading/archiving for radio broadcasts goes back decades due to the general ease of it compared to video archiving prior to the late 1970s, it's how Tarantino used real 93 KHJ audio in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood. I'm 99% sure most of 1998-2001 WNEW-era O&A still exists outside of Slobbo and Opie, but as you said, nobody's been arsed to look for it.TLDR; The tapes most likely exist but are lost simply because the circumstances are so unlikely for us to ever have access to them.
Well more than that i don’t think we’re asking the right people. If someone has these tapes chances are they aren’t even an O&A fan, just a serial archiver of radio shit. Where you would even find those people to ask them about it who knows.I'm 99% sure most of 1998-2001 WNEW-era O&A still exists outside of Slobbo and Opie, but as you said, nobody's been arsed to look for it.
Facebook groups, Twitter, YouTube. There's radio archivists on YouTube who might know the right people.Well more than that i don’t think we’re asking the right people.

It looks like the cannibal board Armin Meiwes was on which should give you an idea of how fucking old it isto all you faggots complaining about this 2004 era message board. At least we have fucking style sheets. That whole "message board" looks like just straight html.
How the fuck would I even go about figuring that out? Admins right. That website is visual AIDS.I can almost guarantee somebody on https://nyrmb.com/ has them.
Don’t click on anything that my son sends you. We had to take away his computer access until he was 25.How the fuck would I even go about figuring that out? Admins right. That website is visual AIDS.
