I pay to listen to this because they cannot say anything on free radio, now they take this away too, unbelievable. I will have to cancel my paid service. I am sick of this politically correct bs!

They had a guest talk about wanting to rape and beat Condeleeza Rice and First Lady Laura Bush! Not only is that kind of speech NOT protected by the First Amendment, it will get you a personal visit from the Secret Service. They are lucky they didn't get more than a suspension. Don Imus got fired for saying 'nappy headed ho's', but Opie and Anthony get a 30-day suspension. Now that is what really doesn't make sense.

The ONLY reason i listen to XM is to hear the Opie and Anthony show. Whether a fan or not, what is being done to them, and radio hosts alike, is a shame. An embarrasment to our society. This needs to be stopped before it goes too far. Now it's radio talk shows, what's next? Television? Music? YOUR freedom of speech? I'm so angry right now!
Flood XM with email:

This is bs.

Listen, all you who are canceling to XM, will you re-up when they are reinstated? If so, you have just given XM more cash that you didn't need to. Take the 30 days! I have been a fan since WAAF and I did not cancel yet. I will when they are officially fired.
They are trying to look better for the merger. That's the ONLY reason. They have done more shocking stuff than that. Listen to the dragon wagon bit on youtube.

My dad is pissed too. He got XM because he drives between three states, and wanted something constant to listen to. Then he found O & A, and has listened to them for about a year. He just canceled both his subscriptions tonight. And will not resubscribe. (He has heard O & A have been fired). He sent XM an angry e-mail last night, and they wrote him back saying something about how O & A need to better control their creative freedom. (something along those lines). Anyway, just thought I'd drop you a line and let ya' know that your not the only pissed off Opie and Anthony fan!

Cancel your subscription and make sure to sent an email, letter and let them know you cancelled yoru subscription because of the BS. I cancelled my subscription this week and made sure to point out it was due to the suspension, I also have all the email addresses for those you should contact to express your outrage. It is BS, uncensored my a**, XM gave into special interest group presure and turned its back on it PAY listeners, F*** XM! XM SUCKS!

Agree 100%. This is bullshit. This is nothing but the PC Police building on the momentum they got with Don Imus and basically looking to suck the life and all the joy out of radio. What was said here was no big deal, but a few loudmouths made it into a big deal and XM, to their immense discredit, caved in.
Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. All bullshit, all of it. If I were an XM subscriber I would cancel. If it means that much to you you can get MLB steamcasts online for $14.95 for the year, both home and away feeds.

Everything has a regulation of some sort. The FCC regulates the airwaves satellite radio operates on. They don't regulate satellite radio though. XM did that of their own will. Besides, one can go too far in anything they do or say. This is just another example of it. I don't see why you "have" to cancel your membership for. They will be back in 30 days. There are other options for things to listen to. You're overreacting. Relax!
