“Anthony Cumia, the “Anthony” portion of the shock-jock radio team, was fired by employer Sirius XM after Cumia made a series of racially charged tweets Wednesday night.

“SiriusXM has terminated its relationship with Anthony Cumia of the ‘Opie & Anthony’ channel,” Patrick Reilly, the satellite radio broadcaster’s media relations manager, said in a statement.
