There's a rock/metal programme once a week on an Austrian alternative radio station ("FM4") where they occasionally play Opeth.

Opeth is on TV. I get a TV station called FUSE and they play everything from Hip Hop to Death Metal. They had an interview with Opeth two or three weeks ago (very funny I might add - talking about Peter shitting his pants and how they were the same clothes, including underwear, for weeks and never shower) and followed it with a live song. I don't remember which song... damn my memory, but I know that it was from Blackwater Park.
I have seen Lacuna Coil, Lamb of God, Strapping Young Lad, Mushuggah, Chimera, and many more bands interviewed. They show most of this underground metal on a show, aired late night, called Uranium.

But in Germany there's nothing like that... only kiddie-bullshit! There's just one alternative programme every sunday night, but it actually isn't very good. Even there they will most often play bullshit like HIM. So I nearly got a shock when I once saw a Cannibal Corpse clip there ^^

I have...
the box.
its like a low rent mtv that doesn't even pretend to be 'alternative' and just plays hip hop and pop all day. today I saw some band dressed up as mcdonalds staff singing that 'a pizza hut a pizza hut kentucky friend chicken and a pizza hut/mcdonalds mcdonalds' etc song to a european dance beat, then this song came on with sounded a bit like daft punk but much, much worse. the video appeared to just be a long advert for various tools but modelled by women in pants, who occasionally say something along the lines of 'touch me baby' or something.
the world needs opeth

Down here in Melbourne, Australia (and several other cities/states) we get several metal radio segments. The most popular one would definitely be Full Metal Racket, and they do play Opeth quite often, as the host of the programme is also a major fan. I've never heard Opeth on mainstream radio though.

Theres this radio station that plays hiphop/soft rock, and they played in my time of need and called opeth an "emerging soft rock band"

I personally think it will be funny when people who think opeth is softrock download "when" (you know they will), and be like "yah, I can get into this", and then when mikael screams, they will piss themselves scared.

My friend (not a huge Opeth fan) said he heard them on XFM (London radio station) at around 3am. He's quite reliable, so I'll trust him.

ive played them on the radio myself, that count? my friend has a radio at our local campus station, sometimes i tag along and play some metal, otherwise he just plays weird rock stuff. and so what if there's no listeners

I used to dj on a priate metal station in cork called freak fm and i used to pay it all the time. could only get it in cork tho.
The reason I asked is because I feel there are certain songs on "Damnation" that would fit perfectly on FM radio in the US. I guess it just takes the right amount of push.
