Background and history

Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia were raised on Long Island, New York, in Centerport and Elwood respectively. Long Island is an island located in southeastern New York, USA, its western shores directly across from Manhattan, from which the island stretches New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous Centerport is a hamlet (and Census-designated place) in Suffolk County, New York on the notably affluent North Shore of Long Elwood is a hamlet (and Census-designated place) in Suffolk County, New York, United States. Hughes graduated from SUNY Geneseo and for the next seven years, interned and worked at several upstate New York radio stations such as WCMF in Rochester (where he first worked for Brother Wease) and WUFX in Buffalo (which is now WEDG, currently the Buffalo syndicator of O&A). The State University of New York at Geneseo —also known as SUNY Geneseo or colloquially Geneseo State University —is located in Geneseo, Livingston Rochester is a city in Monroe County, New York State, south of Lake Ontario in the United States. Brother Wease is the stage name of Alan Levin (born November 1, 1946 in Rochester NY) a Buffalo (ˈbʌfəloʊ is the second largest city in New York State. Opie eventually found his way back home to rock station WBAB on his native Long Island. WBAB is a rock Radio station on Long Island. Located at 1023 FM, the station is licensed to Babylon New York and is owned by Cox Radio Although not initially doing a talk-show, Hughes did experiment with certain talk elements, including a recurring character named "Spuds Buckley". Cumia was a high school dropout barely earning a living as an HVAC duct worker when he began performing songs with his brother Joe. In August 1994, Hughes received an entry during an O.J. Simpson parody song contest. Orenthal James "O J" Simpson (born July 9 1947 who has also been called The Juice, is a retired American football player, The song was titled "Gonna Electric Shock OJ" (sung to the tune of Otis Redding's "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay") by a local band known as Rotgut, of which Cumia was the lead singer. Otis Ray Redding Jr ( September 9, 1941 December 10, 1967) was an American soul singer The song was a hit on Hughes' show, and he invited the Cumia brothers to the studio to play live in September 1994. This sparked several more appearances, where "Ant & Brother Joe" jumped at any opportunity to be on the air. In December 1994, Cumia also appeared on The Howard Stern Show during an impression contest in which he imitated Jackie the Jokeman, Beavis and Butt-head, and Sam Kinison. The Howard Stern Show is an American radio show hosted by Howard Stern on Howard 100, one of two channels on the subscription-based Jackie Martling (born John Coger Martling Jr on February 14, 1948) is an American Comedian, comedy Writer, musician Beavis and Butt-head is an American Animated television series created by Mike Judge.

Hughes' show was called "The Nighttime Attitude", which aired from 8 pm-midnight on WBAB. WBAB is a rock Radio station on Long Island. Located at 1023 FM, the station is licensed to Babylon New York and is owned by Cox Radio ^[2] Shortly after Cumia's arrival, he and Hughes requested that the show be moved to morning or afternoon drive, the two most listened-to timeslots in radio. When the station refused, Hughes and Cumia moved the show to afternoon drive on WAAF in Boston, where they premiered on March 27, 1995 as Opie & Anthony (O&A). Events 196 BC - Ptolemy V ascends to the throne of Egypt. 1309 - Pope Clement V excommunicates Year 1995 ( MCMXCV) was a Common year starting on Sunday. Events of 1995

WAAF-FM

Among Opie and Anthony's most notable Boston stunts was when they hyped a giveaway of "100 Grand" for weeks. When they finally gave away the prize, the winning caller laid into the duo with biting invective after he realized the repairs he needed to make to his truck would be un-affordable with a 100 Grand candy bar instead of $100,000. ^[3]

The duo was fired in April 1998 from WAAF for an April Fool's Day prank involving Mayor Thomas Menino. This article is about the informal holiday For other uses see April Fool. The Mayor of Boston is the head of the municipal government in Boston Massachusetts. Thomas Michael Menino (born December 27, 1942) is the mayor of Boston Massachusetts, United States and the city's first Opie and Anthony told their listeners Menino died in a fiery car accident while vacationing solo in Florida. Many believed the story, leading Menino to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, as the FCC prohibits the broadcast of knowingly false information if it causes public harm. ^[4] WAAF suggested that the duo have pies thrown at them while being held in town square stocks. The idea was summarily dismissed by the mayor's office. Facing a possible license challenge, WAAF fired them, but Opie and Anthony promised that they would return to Boston and get revenge. During the early days of XM Anthony stated that the intent of the April Fool's prank was to allow the duo to be released from their contract with WAAF. He also stated that the duo had been having illegal meetings with WNEW prior to the April fools prank. He prempted these comments with "The statutes of limitations must be up on this"^[5]

WNEW-FM

In June 1998, O&A were back on New York station WNEW-FM, where they became a top 10 afternoon drive show in New York by 2000. WWFS (1027 FM) is a New York City Radio station owned and operated by CBS Radio. ^[6]

In November 2000, sixteen people associated with the show were arrested during a promotion for "The Voyeur Bus," a mostly glass bus carting naked women through Manhattan with a police escort. Manhattan Island, in New York Harbor, is much the largest part of the Borough of Manhattan, one of the Five Boroughs which form the City of New York ^[7] The stunt was harshly condemned by Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Giants Stadium, is the home Stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams of the NFL, and the Red Bull New O&A did this as God Bless America began to play before a game[2]. " God Bless America " is an American Patriotic song They said that the $100,000 cost of making each new show was the cause of its demise, though no official reason was given for its cancellation.

In 2001, O&A signed a syndication deal with Infinity to syndicate their show on 22 stations nationwide, including WBCN in Boston, longtime rival of WAAF. WBCN 1041 FM, is a commercial Radio station based in Boston Massachusetts. Onetime friend of the show Andrew Dice Clay then introduced O&A to Jim Norton, a comedian who toured with and opened for Clay. Andrew "Dice" Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein on September 29, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American Jim Norton (born July 19, 1968) is an American Stand-up comedian, Radio personality, Author, and Actor. Norton was a hit on O&A and soon became a regular on the show, appearing three or four days per week.

Sex for Sam

One of O&A's stunts was "Sex for Sam", a yearly contest where the goal was to have sex in notable public places in New York City. Couples from various states would be selected to be trailed by a comedian or member of the show, who would call the program to report the location. The contest was sponsored by Boston Beer Company, maker of Samuel Adams beer; prizes included trips to Boston concerts sponsored by the beer company. The Boston Beer Company ( is an American Brewing company founded in 1985 by Jim Koch in Boston Massachusetts, USA. The Boston Beer Company ( is an American Brewing company founded in 1985 by Jim Koch in Boston Massachusetts, USA. The contest was approved by the station and had no major problems for the first two years.

However, in "Sex for Sam 3", comedian Paul Mecurio encouraged Brian Florence and Loretta Harper, a Virginia couple visiting Manhattan, to have sex in a vestibule at St. Patrick's Cathedral on August 15, 2002. Paul Mecurio is a Rhode Island -born comedian once featured on Comedy Central Presents. The Commonwealth of Virginia ( is an American state St Patrick's Cathedral is a decorated Neo-Gothic -style Catholic Cathedral in North America Events 778 - The Battle of Roncevaux Pass, at which Roland is killed See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. When a security guard ordered Mecurio and the couple to leave the church immediately, Mecurio began to argue with the guard, who then contacted police. The couple was arrested and charged with public lewdness. Intense media scrutiny led to the Catholic League demanding that Opie and Anthony be fired. The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, widely known as The Catholic League, is an anti-defamation non-profit group in the United States with The Catholic League also threatened to get WNEW's license revoked.

O&A broadcast the next day, but were ordered not to directly address the incident for legal reasons. The show went into re-runs the following week. On August 22, Infinity suspended Opie and Anthony for the duration of their contract, and canceled the show. Events 392 - Arbogast has Eugenius elected Western Roman Emperor. However, the company continued to pay the duo to stay off the air for the balance of their contract. The Catholic League immediately dropped its bid to revoke WNEW's license.

The repercussions of the incident were widespread:

• Infinity was fined $357,000 by the FCC--the maximum amount allowed by law, and the second-largest indecency fine in American radio history. It refused to pay the fine. ^[8]
• WNEW's ratings, already dreadful aside from Opie and Anthony, dropped even lower than those of noncommercial stations and never recovered. The station returned to the music format in January 2003, starting with an adult contemporary format, later switching to a classic dance music format before returning to the AC format, at which point the station's call letters were changed to WWFS. Adult contemporary music, frequently abbreviated AC, refers to styles of popular music that ranges from "lush Sixties pop often vocal -based and rooted in Disco is a Genre of dance-oriented music whose origins are hard to define WWFS (1027 FM) is a New York City Radio station owned and operated by CBS Radio.
• Harper pleaded guilty a month later to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to seven days of community service. ^[9]

XM Satellite Radio

Events 610 - Heraclius arrives by ship from Africa at Constantinople, overthrows Byzantine Emperor Phocas "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Initially, the show was offered to XM subscribers at a premium cost of $1. 99 a month, to which they encountered some resistance. In April 2005, "High Voltage" became part of the basic XM subscription. There are no numbers available with respect to the number of premium subscribers. Hughes gave some indication, however, when he told the Long Island press in 2006, "We went from having a show that was syndicated in 17 major markets to having a few thousand", which did not help to remove the discrepancy. ^[10]

On April 17, 2006, DirecTV ceased airing XM 202 (The High Voltage Channel) on their satellite TV service, citing subscriber requests for more music channels and less talk and sports channels. Events 69 - After the First Battle of Bedriacum, Vitellius becomes Roman Emperor. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Events 1467 - The miraculous image in Our Lady of Good Counsel appear in Genazzano, Italy. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ^[11]

Opie & Anthony frequently mentioned on the air that they hated the name "High Voltage", which was selected by one of the company lawyers. They had been trying to change the name but were unsuccessful for the first 2 years until Eric Logan announced on their October 4, 2006 broadcast that High Voltage would be renamed "The Virus" on November 20, 2006, due to the demands of hardcore O&A fans, known as "The Pests".

A big part of the XM show was the "Assault on the Media", led by "The Pests" to give the show additional exposure. The Opie and Anthony Army (also known as "The Pests" are a collection of Opie & Anthony listeners who take a proactive approach to the show as opposed to mere passive On May 19, 2005, show intern Nathaniel showed up behind Arthur Chi'en of WCBS-TV.

The disruption caused Chi'en to shout "What the fuck is your problem, man?" while the cameras were still rolling. Chi'en was fired a few hours later. (The situation brought the show nationwide press. )

On May 15, 2007, XM suspended Opie & Anthony for 30 days, in response to a broadcast featuring an African-American homeless man who had wandered into the studio. Events 1252 - Pope Innocent IV issues the Papal bull Ad exstirpanda, which authorizes but also limits the Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century.

Sexual intercourse, in its biological sense is the act in which the male reproductive organ (in humans and other higher animals enters the female reproductive tract Condoleezza Rice (born November 14 1954 is the 66th United States Laura Lane Welch Bush (born November 4 1946 is the wife of the forty-third and current President of the United States, George W ^[13] Charlie spoke wildly for nearly twenty minutes, commenting on a wide variety of news topics. A right wing blogger posted a ten second excerpt of the discussion, and was later posted to The Drudge Report, with no context given to the audio. Commentary on the incident was especially incendiary from Bill O'Reilly, who called the situation "the worst I have ever seen. " CBS (terrestrial) radio continued to air the show from 6:00 am-9:00 am Eastern time, and had a decidedly more subdued sound, due to greater scrutiny.

Fans reacted to the news by canceling their XM Radio subscriptions. On the day the suspension was announced, callers to XM Radio customer service experienced lengthy hold times. ^[14] Moreover, some sponsors pulled their advertising off XM, in protest of the suspension. ^[15]

The duo's month-long suspension from XM ended on June 15, 2007, and they returned to XM's airwaves on that date. Events 763 BC - Assyrians record a Solar eclipse that will be used to fix the Chronology of Mesopotamian history Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century.

XM Executive Vice President of Programming Eric Logan also stated that the 216,800 number was partially taken when O&A was suspended from the XM airwaves in April-May 2007 and estimated their weekly numbers as actually being in excess of a million. ^[16]

Return to broadcast radio

On July 17, 2006, Opie and Anthony signed a deal with Citadel Broadcasting in which the first three hours of the show would be broadcast on nine of Citadel's rock stations. Events 180 - Twelve inhabitants of Scillium in North Africa are executed for being Christians Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. For the similarly named television broadcaster see Citadel Communications. ^[17]

After an 18-month run on XM, The Opie & Anthony Show began simulcasting on XM Radio and various terrestrial radio stations from 6 am to 9 am EST. From 9 am to 11 am (and on some days up to noon), the show will be broadcast exclusively on XM Radio. XM listeners are able to hear the show uncensored the entire time (except when the main feed is "self-censored" by the hosts), however from the 6-9 slot, the FM-only listeners will hear an FCC-compliant version of the show. ^[18] In the initial Arbitron ratings released since their move to terrestrial radio, The Opie & Anthony Show doubled Free FM's ratings in the New York City market in the month of May. Arbitron ( is a Radio audience research company in the United States which collects listener data on radio audiences similar to that collected by Nielsen Media ^[19] In Philadelphia O&A achieved a threefold increase in the month of May over David Lee Roth's April performance with listeners, ages 18-34. ^[20][21] In Boston, they doubled the listeners of all ages and achieved an even larger increase in younger demographics. ^[22] According to the winter 07 arbitron ratings, O&A have doubled Roth's ratings with their target of 18- to 34-year-olds. But so far that's only meant going from 2% to about 4% of the audience, a third of Stern's old numbers in NYC. ^[23] Following the Summer 07 Arbitron ratings, O&A's 18- to 34-year-olds ratings slipped, while their morning drive rating in NYC of 2. 1 left them only ahead of sports based WFAN network in the morning. ^[24]

Run-ins with the FCC

The Federal Communications Commission has twice fined O&A for broadcasting material deemed in violation of decency standards. The first fine involved several November 2000 - January 2001 airings of a jingle produced by Dru Boogie, a deejay who regularly appears on the show. The $21,000 fine also involved a segment of "Guess What's In My Pants", as well as a song titled, "I'm Horny for Little Girls". ^[26] O&A's second FCC violation - the "Sex for Sam" broadcast - set a precedent for being the first time that a fine was issued to each individual station airing the alleged indecent material. ^[27] The total was $357,500; $27,500 against each of the thirteen CBS Radio/Infinity-owned stations that broadcast the show. ^[28] Infinity appealed both fines, after which its parent company Viacom made a $3. 5 million settlement which cancelled all pending indecency violations. ^[29] The show has not been in trouble with the FCC since that time.

Program content

Opie and Anthony often comment on American sociopolitical and popular culture. Their "cringe" style of entertainment has earned them the sobriquet "shock jocks". Shock Jock was an Australian television comedy series broadcast on TV1. Hughes, Cumia and Norton broadcast for approximately five hours per day. Generally speaking, Opie sets the daily flow of the show and introduces topics, while Cumia and Norton provide color commentary. The show has few limits, and covers a wide array of topics interactively, with a great deal of time devoted to callers, and sound bites sent in from listeners. With their reemergence on terrestrial radio, however, the trio have been more conscientious about what might be censored. This has led to the "dump report", an XM segment in which the specific content of censored bits is lamented. Some of the more hardcore O&A fans, nicknamed "Pests", have been known to go to extreme grassroots efforts to promote the show. The Opie and Anthony Army (also known as "The Pests" are a collection of Opie & Anthony listeners who take a proactive approach to the show as opposed to mere passive
