XM reinstating Opie
From Times wire reports
Shock jocks Opie & Anthony will resume live broadcasts on XM Satellite Radio on Friday following a one-month suspension after a guest described his rape fantasies on their daily show, the company said Monday.
Hosts Gregg “Opie” Hughes and Anthony Cumia last month were suspended for 30 days after a guest spoke about forcing U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and First Lady Laura Bush to have sex with him.
XM denounced the comments and the hosts apologized. But XM, which has agreed to be acquired by rival Sirius Satellite Radio Inc., later suspended the team after they made remarks on the air that suggested their regret was not sincere.
