History
In early 2001, Norton became a co-host of Opie and Anthony on WNEW in New York City, with hosts Gregg "Opie" Hughes and Anthony Cumia. He first appeared on the show in 2000 with Andrew Dice Clay during his time opening for him on tour and became a regular guest and sat in on some shows. On July 3, 2014, the show, then broadcasting on SiriusXM satellite radio, ended after Cumia was fired for posting a series of "racially charged" tweets following an alleged off-air incident with a black woman on the street. Hughes and Norton then became hosts of Opie with Jim Norton, which aired until September 2016.
Roberts began his radio career on WERW at Syracuse University before interning on the Opie and Anthony radio show on XM Satellite Radio on June 13, 2005, based in New York City. In 2006, he became the show's associate producer, followed by producer in January 2010. In April 2011, Roberts became the host of the pre and post Opie and Anthony radio show, and became the show's executive producer in February 2014. From June 2015 to October 2016, Roberts hosted Sam Roberts' Show.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american radio show on SiriusXM. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48840798. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2024, 2001 and 2000.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
