Per XM Press Release

Press Release News | Home
WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, May 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- XM Radio announced today that the company has suspended Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia, hosts of "The Opie & Anthony Show" and ceased broadcast of the show for 30 days, effective immediately.
XM Radio deplored the comments aired on "The Opie & Anthony Show" last week. At the time, the company strongly expressed its views to Opie and Anthony, and they issued an immediate apology.
Comments made by Opie and Anthony on yesterday's broadcast put into question whether they appreciate the seriousness of the matter. The management of XM Radio decided to suspend Opie and Anthony to make clear that our on-air talent must take seriously the responsibility that creative freedom requires of them.
As a company, XM provides customers with tools to control what they listen to on XM. "The Opie & Anthony Show" appears on one of XM's explicit language channels (XL). Whenever a radio is tuned to an explicit language channel, the letters "XL" continuously appear on the screen. XM frequently mentions on its explicit language channels that the content may be inappropriate for certain listeners and tells how to "block" channels that feature this type of content. Channel blocking is available through xmradio.com or by calling 1-800-XMRADIO.

The fascistic PC thought police strike again.
each demolition of free thought and choice makes the next one that much easier.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

This is an old (and pathetic) ploy.
O&A did this a few times in Boston that I remember, and I bet if you search the archives, I bet they had some "two week" suspensions in the past for random shit.
Rather than just going on vacation, they get "suspended" for 30 days, which gives them free media coverage, energizes their fans, and gives them a common enemy to rail against when they get back: The evil corporate machine who is surpressing their freedom of speech.
Rinse. Repeat every year or so.

goto wackbag.com and this on the their root:
Quote:I have received word that O&A have been FIRED from XM!!!
I was told this by an extremely trusted source, and not an employee/relative of an XM employee.
Get on the phone, cancel your XM. DO NOT take the 30-day credit - CANCEL it! XM will feel that much more on their bottom line than a 30-day dip.
If XM feels the sting of thousands of people canceling their subs, then there is some sort of a chance!

If they are truly fired and I'm some enterprising radio executive at Clearchannel or whatever radio vehicle they haven't burned bridges, I'd offer them some shit salary as a job.
They have no other talents, they will either just retire for life with good money, or take some embarassing job.
I think they are egomaniacs liek most people who hunt out celebrity stats. Pay them a pittance and give them an audience and make a bunch of money of their hardcore fans (if any still exist)
