Ex-'Opie & Anthony' host won't apologize for rant

FILE - In a April 26, 2006 file photo, radio shock jocks Greg "Opie" Hughes, left, and Anthony Cumia, right, leave CBS Radio studios on 57th Street with fans after finishing their first morning show, in New York. Cumia is offering no apologies for what satellite radio company SiriusXM called a hate-filled Twitter rant that got him fired. The former co-host of the "Opie and Anthony Show" was let go on July 3 after tweeting his outrage at a woman he said punched him in the face on a New York street. Cumia responded in an interview early Saturday, July 12, 2014, on Fox News' "Red Eye." His tweets used an expletive degrading to women, and SiriusXM called them "racially charged." The woman he encountered is black. (AP Photo/ Louis Lanzano, File)NEW YORK (AP) — Radio talk show host Anthony Cumia is offering no apologies for what satellite radio company SiriusXM called a hate-filled Twitter rant that got him fired.
