Opie & Anthony Suspended From XM
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
The Don Imus backlash continues. XM's Opie & Anthony have been suspended for 30 days by the satellite network for controversial comments they made on live radio. The hosts were suspended today, a week after they did a bit where they made sexual jokes about Laura Bush, Queen Elizabeth and Condoleezza Rice. On May 9, Opie and Anthony, they aired a segment with a man they call Homeless Charlie. As the names of Rice, Bush and the queen came up, Charlie said in vulgar terms that he would like to have sex with each of them. Opie and Anthony have apologized for the bit, but say they should not be under the same scrutiny as shows airing on terrestrial radio. While Opie & Anthony are still broadcast on terrestrial radio, the controversial skit was only broadcast on satellite radio.
