Management discretely gave him a tip to consider for improving his show and his reaction is to essentially spit in their face, telling them he's not going to change a damn thing and calling them assholes for even daring to bring it up and ruining his day. Why would he want to feel sad?

His recent numbahs have filled him with hubris. He's acting like he's the Howard Stern of AM radio, but he's only been at the station for like a month. Behaving like a raging jackass right from the onset is not going to help his case when the numbers go down again (which they inevitably will as the novelty wears off). His reaction is a way bigger red flag than the original complaint was.

I'd be kinda astonished if they even knew what "the numbers" are:

1) XM and Sirius Radio never had a reliable way to measure the popularity of a show. Satellite broadcasting is a connectionless protocol; the satellite just blasts out the signal, it doesn't "know" how many people are listening. It's not like TCP/IP or something like that, where you can track every network connection.

2) You CAN track online streams, but online streaming wasn't a big part of XM's audience back when Cumia was fired 10+ years ago

3) Cumia could provide his own streaming metrics, if he'd bothered to keep them. Considering that I could still listen for years after I managed to cancel my subscription, I'm guessing Compound Media's analytics weren't "high quality."

4) Radio stations rely on Nielsen ratings, but Nielsen simply calls up old people and asks them what they listen to. I've listened to thousands of hours of talk radio, but I've never talked to Nielsen. I have relatives who are pushing 90 who've never listened to talk radio at all, and they HAVE filled out Nielsen questionaires, because they have a land line and I don't. Hell, I don't even answer my phone.

It's kinda insane how shitty that radio and streaming metrics are. I used to work on this shit for cel phones and we could basically provide all this data and more. We not only knew how people were using their phones, we also knew WHERE they were using them, when they were using them, etc. And I haven't worked in telco for over ten years. I have some friends who do, and the amount of data that they can hoover up, and what they can do with it, is bonkers. For instance:

If you listen to Faction Talk or some other lame program on XM, XM can't even tell if you're listening.

But if you drive by a billboard, the billboard owner can buy data that tells them how many people saw the billboard, how many people drove by, when they drove by, etc. Even 10+ years ago the telcos were working on technology that would take the pictures that you take with your phone, and then use the geolocation tags to sell you shit.

And that's just the LEGAL stuff, God only knows what kind of ILLEGAL spying the telcos are doing.

The entire reason that his boss would send an email like that is to build a case for whacking him.

If he was dumb, he'd find some email that was trolling or over-the-top; the fact that he intenionally picked out an email that's milquetoast is because he's trying to build case.

Realistically, Cumia's boss is probably half his age and has literally no idea who he is or why he was hired.

Haven't seen you on here in awhile, glad you're not dead from ass cancer.

Nana is dreadful at hosting. He still has a literal piece of paper that he picks up, reads, and says out loud "Uh, hmm, what's next...oh yeah, Bill Burr on The View..." I could excuse that in his early days of ComePoundMe dia since he wasn't used to hosting, but you'd think he might find a smoother way to transition to a new topic after all this time.
He does zero preparation cause he’s super lazy. Opie did all the set up, Ant just had to chime in with zingers. Easiest fucking job on the planet

Dear WABC 77 Management,


I am writing to express my concerns about Anthony Cumia, a former host of the "Opie and Anthony" show, and his past behavior that I believe is inconsistent with the values of your station.


In July 2014, Cumia was terminated from SiriusXM following a series of racially charged and hate-filled tweets. These included derogatory language directed at a Black woman he claimed assaulted him in Times Square. He referred to her using slurs such as "cunt" and "animal," and made statements like "I hope she gets shot" and "They aren't people." SiriusXM stated that his remarks were "abhorrent" and "wholly inconsistent with what SiriusXM represents" . In recent years Mr. Cumia has continued the violent verbal assault of African Americans and Jewish people on https://x.com/compoundboss?lang=en and https://x.com/AnthonyCumia. Anthony's live in girlfriend has also made strong anti semitic comments
most of these tweets where rt and promoted by anthony on his twitter

Additionally, in 2016, Cumia was arrested and charged with strangulation, assault, and unlawful imprisonment following an alleged incident at his home in Roslyn Heights, New York .


Given these incidents, I am concerned about the appropriateness of his association with your station. I urge you to consider these past actions when evaluating his current and future involvement with WABC 77.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It was Opie
Honestly I think it was from Opie too. If you want to troll people you pretend that you are a fan while saying horrible shit. It's basically someone that hates Anthony that emailed the boss. So this is very interesting. @Gay Faggot. aka @musta̖rd aka @JebJoh care to comment on who it was that is trolling Anthony. Actually, it is really funny how angry he is about it 😂

This is another tally under the "the forum should have open enrollment" column. What if the dude that opens this wants to come join in the fun and/or ask more questions? He won't be able to.
