Background and history

Gregg (Opie) Hughes and Anthony Cumia were both raised on Long Island, New York, while Lil Jimmy was born and raised in New Jersey. Hughes graduated from SUNY Geneseo. For the next seven years Gregg (Opie) interned and worked at several upstate radio stations before he was awarded a radio gig spinning records at rock station WBAB on his native Long Island. Although he did not not initially host a talk-show, Hughes did experiment with certain talk elements, including a character named Spuds Buckley. Cumia dropped out of high school and was barely making a living as an HVAC duct worker when he began performing songs with his brother Joe, who remains a constant supporter of the Opie and Anthony Show. Mr. Norton, a self-proclaimed Fancy Man is a stand-up comedian and the full, third chair member, of the Opie and Anthony Show. In August 1994, Hughes received an entry during an O.J. Simpson parody song contest. The song was entitled "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, for which Cumia was the lead singer. It became a hit on Hughes' show, and he invited the Cumia brothers to the studio to play live. This sparked many further appearances, where "Ant & Brother Joe" jumped at any airtime opportunity available. Soon after, Hughes and Cumia became a radio team. Hughes' show was called "The Nighttime Attitude," and aired from 8 p.m.-12 midnight on WBAB. [1]. Shortly after Cumia's arrival, it was proposed to management at the station 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-FM, Boston, where they premiered on March 27, 1995 as Opie and Anthony (hereinafter referred to as O&A).

WAAF-FM

Among Opie and Anthony's most wholesome and hilarious Boston Stunts was when they hyped up giving away 100 Grand for weeks. Finally, when they gave away the prize, the winning caller laced into the duo with biting invective after he realized the repairs he needed to make to his truck would be unaffordable with a 100 Grand Bar as opposed to $100,000. 100 Grand Bar or, previously, $100,000 Bar is a candy bar produced by Nestlé.

The duo were fired in April 1998 from WAAF in Boston for an April Fool's Day prank involving Mayor Thomas Menino. They told their listeners the Mayor of Boston died in a fiery car accident while he was vacationing in Florida and out of the reach of family and friends. Many believed that this actually happened, leading Menino to file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission. An FCC rule prohibits the broadcast of knowingly false information if it causes public harm [2]. WAAF suggested to remedy the situation that O&A have pies thrown at them while being held in town square stocks. The idea was summarily dismissed and the duo were later fired, promising that they would return to Boston and get revenge. 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...

WNEW-FM

In June 1998, they were back on the air on the New York station WNEW-FM. O&A began to gain popularity on this station, becoming the number one afternoon drive show in New York by 2000. In 2001, O&A signed a three year, $30 million dollar syndication deal with Infinity Broadcasting to syndicate their show to 22 markets around the country. This included WBCN in Boston, a rival of the station that fired O&A earlier in their careers. Within a year, they were number one in several markets, including Boston. Former friend of the show Andrew Dice Clay then introduced O&A to Jim Norton, a comedian who toured with Clay and opened for him.

O&A hosted the short-lived XFL Gameday - the pregame show for Vince McMahon's startup football league - for four weeks in February 2001. The half-hour show aired on Saturday nights in select NBC affiliates across the country prior to the beginning of the evening's games. The show was taped on Wednesdays at the WWF's theme restaurant in Times Square, and was open to the public. It featured analysis by WNBC sportscaster Bruce Beck and NY/NJ Hitmen head coach Rusty Tillman. However, it also featured plenty of raunch. One particular segment featured O&A as chefs, inserting a cucumber in between two melons. O&A were almost banned from Giants Stadium for life during the filming of one episode when they imitated a proposed XFL rule where first possession was determined by placing the ball at midfield and having two opposing team-members attempt to get it. O&A did this as the Star-Spangled Banner began to play before a game.

Sex for Sam III

In August 2002, O&A were cancelled for the "Sex For Sam 3" stunt. Sex for Sam was a yearly contest O&A held in which the goal was to have sex in notable public places. Couples from various states would be chosen to compete in the contest and each couple would be followed by a comedian or member of the show, who would call in to the program to report the location. The contest was approved by the station and was held without a major problem for the first two years. However, in the third year, one comedian made the decision to lead his couple to have sex in a vestibule in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Contrary to most media reports, O&A did not broadcast the couple having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral. In fact, none of the couples were broadcast engaging in intercourse. The incident was mentioned as taking place by Paul Mecurio, the comedian watching the couple. When a security guard approached Mecurio and told him that he and the couple must leave immediately, Mecurio began to argue with the security guard, causing the guard to contact the police. The couple was placed under arrest and charged with public lewdness. Intense media scrutiny led to the Catholic League taking offense and demanding that O&A be fired. O&A broadcasted for one more day, but were not permitted to refer to the incident for legal reasons. Infinity Broadcasting then cancelled the Opie and Anthony Show. St. ... CBSs first color logo, which debuted in the fall of 1965. ...

Although never proven conclusively, it has long been speculated that Mercurio actually goaded the security guard into calling the police, and subsequently goaded the police into arresting the couple and himself. Supposedly, Mercurio believed that the ensuing publicity would further his comedic career and enhance his popularity and standing in the eyes of O&A staff and fans. If this is indeed the case, it can be argued that, had it not been for Mercurio's self-serving grandstanding, the couple would not have been arrested, the incident would not have received such intense media scrutiny, and O&A would not have been fired/suspended. As such, many people connected with the show, perhaps even the hosts themselves, blame Mercurio for their dismissal. In light of this belief, Mercurio is "persona non grata" on the XM/CBS program.

Notwithstanding media coverage claiming that O&A were fired, in actuality the pair were still under contract. Therefore, O&A continued to draw a salary from Infinity while not being permitted to broadcast. O&A were given a chance to be let go from their contract if they signed another contract stating that they could never talk about present and past Infinity Broadcasting employees or management but they declined the offer. After waiting for two years for their contract to expire, O&A announced on August 3, 2004 that they had signed with XM Satellite Radio, where they would not be subject to FCC guidelines. They began broadcasting on October 4, 2004 with Norton as the third member of the team.

XM Satellite Radio

Opie and Anthony began broadcasting on October 4, 2004 exclusively for XM after 2 years of being off the air. Due to XM's fear of a boycott or backlash, they were put on a premium service ($1.99/month extra) but given their own channel, High Voltage 202. The hosts have repeatedly mentioned on the air that they hate the name High Voltage, as it was picked by one of the company lawyers. After six months on XM, it was decided to put channel 202 "High Voltage" on the regular XM format and the extra charge for the show was dropped (although, rates were hiked to $12.95 and XM Online was also placed in the basic package). High Voltage is an audio channel (channel 202) on XM Satellite Radio. ...

A big part of the XM show was the Assault on the Media, led by The Pests which would help get the show some additional exposure. On May 19, 2005, show intern Nathaniel showed up behind Arthur Chi'en of WCBS-TV, and was coincidentally joined by Crazy Cabbie. The disruptance caused Chi'en to shout "What the fuck is your problem, man?" while the cameras were still on.

Because of the Sex for Sam 3 incident, O&A had stated that their contracts with XM Satellite Radio were renewed yearly (though this has since changed, as stated but unclarified on the program). Anthony stated in June 2006 that Opie and Anthony signed with XM for an additional two years, in addition to the two years left on their contract.

In February 2006, Allan Sniffen of the New York Radio Message Board stated that he heard rumors of Opie and Anthony replacing the floundering David Lee Roth on CBS Radio's FM stations. On the air, Opie said that the rumors were true, but did not clarify the specifics. Opie also reassured the audience that they were not leaving XM. For the next couple of months, these rumors stayed in the background while David Lee Roth continued his FM talk show. They then resurfaced in late April of 2006, when Roth was unexpectedly kicked off the air on April 20, 2006. The weekend passed, and on Monday it was revealed that the show would return to terrestrial radio beginning that Wednesday. The show would also expand to 5 hours, and could go to noon if need be.

Return to broadcast radio

A heightened awareness of broadcast indecency following the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, coupled with the notion that they might create trouble for their over-the-air employers, led Opie and Anthony to join XM after the expiration of their pay or play contract with Infinity Broadcasting[3][4][5]. But early in their XM run, O&A made it clear that they wished to return to over-the-air radio[6], and a clause in their XM contract allowed them to seek out terrestrial affiliates on which to simulcast their show[7]. Their first broadcast on traditional radio since August 2002 took place in Syracuse, NY with WAQX airing a cleaned-up, day-old O&A Show for two weeks in December 2005[8]. During this time, XM received inquiries from several radio stations looking to carry the show[9], but ultimately O&A resumed XM-exclusivity for well over a year. In April 2006, CBS Radio chose Opie and Anthony to take over for David Lee Roth just four months after Roth replaced Howard Stern. Many, including Roth himself, believed CBS had intended to hire O&A ever since Stern announced his SIRIUS deal, and that they had merely used Roth as a buffer[10][11]. It was revealed afterwards that XM had spoken to CBS about bringing O&A back shortly after Stern's October 2004 announcement [12]. The wardrobe malfunction.

Opie and Anthony returned to Free FM on April 24, 2006 to announce their show would be returning to CBS Radio on April 26, 2006. Amusingly enough, there was an error attempting to play the show's talk over music after the show introduction, leading to a few moments of dead air ocurring. Their first notable quote after this moment: "And that's how it starts, kids." Their first official show on FM occurred April 26, 2006, on Anthony's birthday.

Opie and Anthony observe and comment on American social and popular culture. Their "cringe" style of entertainment, which has received support from listeners, has earned them the sobriquet of "shock jocks". Hughes, Cumia, and Norton broadcast for five to six hours every weekday morning, taking virtually no breaks during the second half of the program, broadcast on XM. The show has few limits, and covers a wide array of topics, and is very interactive, with a great deal of show time being given to fans calling in, and sound bites sent in from listeners.

Initially, the show was offered to XM subscribers at a premium cost of $1.99 a month. 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."

After a successful 18-month run on XM, The Opie and Anthony Show is now simulcast on XM Radio and various terrestrial radio stations from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. EST.

• Whip 'em Out Wednesdays (WOW): O&A invented this promotional technique in May 1995. WOW was written on many bumper stickers and they encouraged all women to flash any person who had a WOW sticker. The promotional technique began on WAAF-FM in Boston and reached the point where an astonishing number of trucks in Massachusetts had either a WOW sticker or WOW written on the bumper. The bit has continued to grow since then and now spans across the country, since O&A now host a national program. There are "WOW Sticker Stops" at many locations throughout the country where WOW stickers are given away. They are also given at many Opie and Anthony events and can be ordered on their official website. However, due to popular demand, many requests from the website have gone unfulfilled. O&A have therefore said that the best way to get WOW stickers is to send a self addressed stamped envelope to their studios in New York.

• The Walk Over: Since joining XM in October 2004, O&A had broadcast from the Steinway Building. As part of Opie and Anthony's 2006 return to terrestrial radio, CBS Radio required that the 6 - 9 am ET portion of the show originate from the studios of WFNY-FM, which is located only one block from XM. [18]. The solution was to broadcasting from WFNY for the first three hours, and from the Steinway (also known as the Economist) Building for the remainder of the show. The daily travel from WFNY to XM is broadcast exclusively on XM. This "Walk Over" has featured cross-promotions with the FX show Rescue Me, the rock band Def Leppard, and with the presence of video cameras, has provided the opportunity for Candid Camera-style pranks. On June 16, 2006, the "Walk Over" was disrupted by a Howard Stern fan who tried to out talk Opie and Anthony on the sidewalk, then assault a producer of the Opie and Anthony Show.[19]

• What Did We Learn?: Among their frequent bits include "What Did We Learn", where the listeners call-in during the last few minutes of the show and say what they learned from the broadcast that day. O&A devote less time to this bit since the move to XM, but it is still regularly recurring. This bit is almost non-existent at this time.

• Scary news teases: O&A frequently discuss their hatred for the fear-mongering media. They always cite the news teases as an example. They often play news tease audio that reveals no real information, only frightens viewers, such as, "A popular car could be extremely likely to crash, we'll tell you which vehicle has many worried at 11." One of the most egregious news teases they found was, "One city wants to pack all of its sex offenders into a three-block area. Problem is, it could be right next to your house."

• Homeless shopping spree: Bringing back a popular bit from their days on WNEW, Opie and Anthony have reintroduced the Homeless Shopping Spree. Their first on XM took place on December 20, 2005 at the Palisades Center in West Nyack, New York. Ten homeless New Yorkers were bussed over from New York City and given $202 to spend in the mall. Well over 300 "pests" attended the event, despite the New York City Transit Strike that had taken effect that morning.

• Ozone midget sightings: One of Opie and Anthony's old friends in radio back at WAAF went by the name Ozone. On his show, he featured Midget Sightings. This has been adapted to the show, with credit always given to Ozone for the idea. When one is called in, Opie will play a "jingle" of sorts, followed by him saying sarcastically, "Who saw this coming?" The caller will proceed to state the sighting, then it will be rated. The bit was on the brink of death many months ago after a string of sightings that just weren't funny. However, it has made a significant comeback. Anthony has stated his favorite sightings are those at "supermarkets, rental places, or anywhere there's a counter where you can only see their little hands."

Run-ins with the FCC

The Federal Communications Commission has twice fined O&A for broadcasting material deemed to be in violation of decency standards. The first fine involved several November 2000 - January 2001 airings of a jingle produced by Dru Boogie, a DJ who regularly appears on the show. This fine also found a segment of "Guess What's In My Pants," as well as a song entitled, "I'm Horny for Little Girls" to be indecent. The fine was for $21,000[20]. 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 that aired the alleged indecent material[21]. The total was $357,500; $27,500 against each of the thirteen CBS Radio/Infinity-owned stations that broadcast the show[22]. Infinity appealed both fines, and later, it's parent company Viacom entered into a $3.5 million agreement which cancelled all indecency violations pending against it[23].

The Traveling Virus was a small comedy tour headlined by Opie and Anthony, as well as friends of the show, that spanned several locations in the eastern United States in the summer 2006. It was an event they had talked about for many years, but were never able to bring to fruition until they made their latest deal with CBS radio.

Classic O&A moments

• April Fool's Day: On April 1, 1998, while still on WAAF in Boston, O&A, over the course of their show, announced that the mayor of Boston, Thomas Menino, had been involved in a car accident in Florida and died. Things came to a head after Menino's daughter called the station believing the story to be true. They were fired the next week.

• Voyeur Bus: Several members of their crew, including frequent guest Lewis Black, third member Jim Norton, and then-producer Rick Delgado were arrested for being on the transparent "Teen" Voyeur Bus, where six young teenage women were flashing all over Manhattan in 2000. Mayor Rudy Giuliani called the Voyeur Bus stunt, "stupid."

• Homeless Shopping Spree: In late 1999, shortly before Christmas, O&A held the "Homeless Shopping Spree". This bit consisted of a dozen of New York's homeless, each given a hundred dollars and taken to the posh Short Hills Mall, in Short Hills, New Jersey. The mall's reaction was to close down many of the nicer stores and eventually force the twelve homeless men out of the mall.

• AFRO Shows: While on WNEW, O&A made a professional friendship with Ron and Fez. Ron and Fez followed O&A on WNEW. O&A frequently appeared on the Ron and Fez Show. These came to be known as the AFRO Shows (Anthony-Fez-Ron-Opie). Ron and Fez recently made the move to join O&A on XM and currently occupy the timeslot immediately following O&A, 12 p.m.-3 p.m. ET, on Channel 202 High Voltage. The first XM AFRO show was a highly anticipated program and took place in August 2005, with Jim Norton and Bob Saget.

• 55 Gallon Drum Challenge: women dressed in bra and panties were placed in 55-gallon drums and had various food products and non-human waste materials dumped on them.

• 100 Grand" Early in their radio career together, O&A declared a contest one afternoon at WAAF that the 107th caller would receive "100 Grand". They continued this bit throughout the show, careful of never saying "$100,000", only "100 Grand". When the 107th caller got through, he was ecstatic, thinking he had really won $100,000. He shouted happily that he was planning on buying a new car and could barely speak, due to his shock in winning. He was furious when Opie told him it was only the 100 Grand candy bar and proceeded to shout and curse on air. The bit was a classic piece of audio, as listening to the man angered when he learned he had not won any money is one of the early examples of O&A's style of "Cringe Radio" that their listeners love. The audio can be found in many websites, although the language remains censored.

• "Kathleen, put your goddamn clothes back on!": At WNEW, Martini Steve went to see a performance of The Graduate on Broadway starring Kathleen Turner as Mrs. Robinson. Steve commented on what a horrendous sight it was during the scene when Kathleen Turner was naked on stage. O&A sent several members of their show down to Broadway to attend a performance of The Graduate shortly thereafter. One person they sent down there, comedian Paul Mecurio, stood up during this same scene and shouted, "Kathleen, put your goddamn clothes back on!", shocking the audience. The audio was recorded and played on the show the following week. Paul Mecurio is now considered "dead to the show" due to his direct involvement with the "Sex for Sam 3" incident which led to O&A's firing from WNEW in August 2002.

• Opie vs. Jim Norton On-Air Argument: On April 22, 2005, Opie and Jim Norton were both in a hostile mood. A slight disagreement during commercial break set them off, and they began arguing during the show for nearly forty minutes. The two made up shortly after and the two are best chums again. For some reason, a "Worst Of" show was played instead of the replay, and fans complained. O&A and Jimmy found out and decided to release the full audio of the fight on FoundryMusic.com and put the entire episode available for download on Audible.com.

• Messing with Tony Danza: - Early in their time in XM, O&A bashed The Tony Danza Show. They discovered Anthony's dead-on Tony Danza impression and made good use of this skill. O&A sent a staff member down to the line of audience members waiting to go into the Tony Danza Show, which was close to O&A's studio. The staff member would approach one of the audience members, nearly all of whom were white middle-aged women, and asked if she would like to speak to Tony. Anthony then perfectly impersonated Tony Danza, and every time they did this bit, the women really believed it was Tony Danza. Danza Security became aware of these shenanigans and eventually the bit ceased in late 2004.

• O&A Raise Money for Hurricane Katrina: On September 2, 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, friends of the show began an online auction of signed memorabilia from their years of collecting miscellaneous stuff with 100% of the funds collected going to the relief efforts down in the Gulf States. So far, the auction has proved a big success, raising well over $50,000.

• No Filter Paul shits himself: After a long on-air feud with competitor Sonny Forelli, No Filter Paul was forced to drink a container of laxitive and walk up 57th street in a diaper - this was followed by Opie & Club Soda Kenny locking Paul in the XM studio until the laxitive came into effect all over the studio floor.

• Nigga vs. Nazi: During the XM walkover on August 18, 2006, a fan gave Anthony an authentic Nazi war helmet, complete with swastika insignia. After "heiling" a cab and riding back to the XM studio, a caller came up with the idea to head back down to the street and see who would get a cab first: Patrice Oneal, a large, intimidating black man, or Anthony in his Nazi helmet. Opie, Anthony, and Patrice headed to the street for the experiment, in a best of 7 contest. Patrice made sure to wear his medallion outside his outfit and paste an authentic "pissed-off negro" scowl on his face, while Anthony was careful to adopt a chillingly accurate "sieg heil" stance to flag down the cabs. Anthony wound up getting 4 cabs to Patrice's 3. A wildly popular bit, this is now usually referenced by Opie as validating the XM walkover bit for all time whenever any caller complains that the walkover has gotten stale.
