The duo will be part of a new channel on XM. No holds barred now, I guess. Here are some of the details...
Opie & Anthony Confirm Jump To XM
After months of rumors about where the duo would wind up, XM announced today that the controversial jocks are taking their show to satellite radio. After a two-year layoff, Opie & Anthony will launch a live, weekday program on Oct. 4 on a new premium XM channel. They are holding a press conference at noon today at the New York Hard Rock Cafe to discuss the move. "We learned a lot during our two years away from our fans, and we can't wait to get back on the radio and reconnect with them," says Gregg "Opie" Hughes. "This is a huge milestone for us because XM provides a nationwide audience that local radio simply can't match." Anthony Cumia adds, "XM is the future of radio as we know it, and it is the perfect platform for us to entertain our radio fans." Opie & Anthony were fired by Infinity in August 2002 for airing the sounds of a couple having sex in New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral.
