Relativistic black hole jet sources are leading candidates for high-energy (≫TeV) neutrino production. The relations defining (1) efficient photopion losses of cosmic-ray protons on target photons and (2) γγ opacity of γ-rays through that same target photon field imply clear multiwavelength predictions for when and at what energies blazars and gamma-ray bursts should be most neutrino-bright and γ-ray-dim. The use of multiwavelength observations to test the standard relativistic jet model for these source is illustrated.
