Anthony Launches Video Podcast Today

Anthony

If you thought fired ‘Opie and Anthony’ host Anthony Cumia was uncensored on SiriusXM, just imagine the freedom with which he will speak now that he’s his own boss on “The Anthony Cumia Show.”

Cumia’s subscriber-based, high-definition video podcast premiers on Monday at 4 p.m. on AnthonyCumia.com ($6.99 a month), and in addition to pushing the boundaries of what listeners expect a podcast to be, he is also giddy about the prospect of letting SiriusXM know that they “f***ed up” by firing him.

In a wide-ranging interview with TheBlaze, Cumia opened up about the now-infamous Times Square incident that got him fired, his views on race, his new show, and more.

He offered a small taste of his grievances with his former employer.

Cumia recalled a meeting with SiriusXM President Scott Greenstein, during which he told the “Opie and Anthony” crew that all the company cares about are subscriber numbers.

“We were trying to tell him how important the talent end of things are, getting out and meeting the fans and everything else, and he was just looking up at the ceiling, couldn’t give a sh*t, and he blatantly told us all they care about is sub numbers,” he told TheBlaze.

That’s why he said he can’t help but be grateful to the “amazing fans” who he says have canceled their SiriusXM subscriptions and supported him.
