The radio station will be airing re-broadcasts of the show until Infinity Broadcasting Inc. (the company which owns the station) comes to a decision.

According to The New York Post, the "Opie and Anthony" show was yanked off the air on Monday as WNEW-FM's owner fretted over the shock jocks' promotion of a sex stunt in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Meanwhile, a federal regulator called for possibly revoking the station's license.
Opie and Anthony - whose real names are Anthony Cumia and Gregg Hughes - chuckled about the arrests on their Friday broadcast. But WNEW management apologized for the incident.
Joe Zwilling, spokesman for the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, said "I'll let the FCC determine what it should do. I'm doing whatever I can not to give these two individuals any more free publicity."
The show's producer Paul Mercurio, who used a cell phone to provide live, on-air commentary of the frolic was also ticketed on a charge of acting in concert with public lewdness.
