History
On July 3, 2014, radio personality Anthony Cumia, and one half of the Opie and Anthony show on The Opie and Anthony Channel on SiriusXM, was fired after he posted a series of tweets following an alleged off-air incident with an African American woman on the street. Cumia claimed he was punched by the woman while attempting to take a picture in Times Square. SiriusXM issued a statement regarding the incident, saying Cumia's tweets were "racially-charged and hate-filled." Cumia refused to apologize for his actions, although he deleted the tweets after being fired.
After Cumia's firing, his radio partner, Gregg "Opie" Hughes, remained at SiriusXM to continue broadcasting with Opie and Anthony third mic, comedian Jim Norton. Cumia gave his blessing as the two were required to fulfill their contracts.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Opie with Jim Norton” as american radio show. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american radio show. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q19865925. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
