it's officially an end of a era at SiriusXM as they have fired Gregg "Opie" Hughes 3 years after the other half of the controversial radio duo "Opie and Anthony", Anthony Cumia was fired for a series of racist tweets. the reason for Opie's firing, "inappropriate behavior". Opie was fired by SiriusXM after he recorded a co-worker of the show in a state of undress as he was using the restroom.
Opie and Anthony joined XM Satellite Radio in 2004 (before it merged with Sirius Satellite Radio in 2007-2008), 2 years removed from being fired by CBS Radio for the infamous "Sex For Sam" contest stunt where they sent couples to random places all over New York City to have sex in public, in which one couple made the bad decision to have sex at St. Patrick's Cathedral, in which their show broadcast from WNEW in New York City and was syndicated in several markets.
after 10 years on SiriusXM/XM Satellite Radio, Opie and Anthony broke up in the summer of 2014 after Anthony was fired by SiriusXM for racist tweets containing the N word. in the years since, Opie remained with SiriusXM hosing "Opie Radio" along with Jim Norton until they had a falling out late last year and Norton along with Sam Roberts, a former intern with the Opie and Anthony show on SiriusXM, launched a show on SiriusXM Faction Talk (the channel that started out as High Voltage, then rebranded in the Virus in 2006, then again to the Opie & Anthony Channel in 2011, then again in 2014 shortly after Anthony's firing to SiriusXM talk before the station took it's current name late last year) in the mornings in October of last year, while Opie's show moved to afternoons, where it remained until today.
Opie filmed a fellow SiriusXM employee (who he had bad blood with) in the bathroom while he was in the act of using the toilet, which he filmed it without consent of the person on the toilet, which makes it an illegal act of misconduct.
