Former Opie & Anthony radio host Anthony Cumia has shared on social media that he is set to join the team at 77 WABC in New York as a new host.
In a post on social media, the former SiriusXM talk show host shared that he is joining the Red Apple Media-owned station.
“Looks like I’m the newest member of the WABC Talk Radio family,” Cumia wrote. “Details about show days & times to come next week. This will not affect my show on CompoundCensored at all. Looking very forward to my triumphant return to broadcast radio in NYC. Thanks to everyone at WABC Radio.”
Cumia previously hosted afternoons at WNEW from 1998 to 2002, before Opie & Anthony were fired by Infinity Broadcasting for what the company considered an uncouth promotion. It was one of several times Cumia exited a broadcasting job under similar circumstances. Cumia was fired in 2014 by SiriusXM for sharing racially charged tweets after claiming to be the victim of an attack by a Black woman.
Anthony Cumia had spent a decade with the satellite broadcaster, joining then XM Radio in 2004. Other radio stops include working at WAAF in Boston.
Since his high-profile ouster from SiriusXM, Cumia has hosted a digital show on his subscription-based Compound Media. Since 2021, he has hosted CompoundCensored with VICE Media co-founder Gavin McInnes.
77 WABC has yet to confirm the news of Anthon Cumia’s hiring.
