ANYTHING FOR RATINGS!!!! - SiriusXM radio host Anthony Cumia of the Opie and Anthony show was let go after his racistAnthony_Cumia Twitter tirade this past week. Speaking on behalf of the company, Patrick Reilly called Cumia’s comments “abhorrent” and in a statement explained why SiriusXM could not keep Cumia on as host. “SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the Opie & Anthony channel. The decision was made, and Cumia informed, late Thursday, July 3 after careful consideration of his racially charged and hate-filled remarks on social media,” Reilly stated. “Those remarks and postings are abhorrent to SiriusXM, and his behavior is wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents.” Cumia responded by blasting SiriusXM on Twitter. “Sirius decided to cave and fire me. Welcome to bizarro world. Fired for s**t that wasn’t even on the air & wasn’t illegal. So, who’s next?” Cumia tweeted. “After the wkend, I’ll have a better idea of things. F— Sirius. I’ll pop on the Compound show next week and discuss this with TOTAL FREEDOM.”
