O&A Suspended for 30 days *EDIT* possibly fired? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

**Ender81** · 05-16-2007, 09:12 AM

Regardless of what you think of their show (we know O&A and Stern fans don't really mix) this is a load of crap. What am I doing paying for radio if it's not going to be free of cencorship. It's like someone complaining about a guy getting killed on the Sopranos, if you don't like it stop subscribing.

**EDIT**
According to the main page on wackbag (unofficial O&A forums) they have been fired. I guess we will find out in the coming days if that is true.

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.

its complete and utter bull****, now WTF am i gonna listen to at work. Its all over that Homeless Charlie segment when he talked about doing Condlezza Rice in the butthole and then punching her in the face. But I dont understand satellite radio dosent have to follow FCC guidelines, so did this happen on their Free FM show I cant remember since I listen to the entire thing on XM.

willthethrill · 05-16-2007, 09:33 AM

Stern fan here and i completely agree that getting suspended is total crap. They are on XM they should be allowed to say almost anything they want. And by almost i mean as long as it does not incite violence or make some wacko go do something crazy.

mr_eh · 05-16-2007, 09:42 AM

they can say whatever they want, but its at the discression of xm. not the fcc.

they cant get on the air after their suspension and say **** over and over again for 3 hours

Bleeding hearts are ruining this country. Everyone is a ****ing victim. Its time the majority starting standing up for our rights and stop letting civil rights leaders and other special interest groups tell us what is acceptable and what is not. Who the **** are they to tell me what I can and can't listen to.
