A week after insulting members of a drum and bugle corps on and off the air, KYLD-FM's (94.9) once highly rated ``Morning Doghouse'' show has been taken off the air. The move also comes just over a month after shock jocks J.V. and Elvis, and producer Hollywood, helped initiate a student walkout in San Jose that possibly could have cost the East Side Union High School District thousands of dollars.

``The station has taken into account feedback from the community in recent weeks in coming to this decision,'' wrote Dennis Martinez, KYLD's program director, in a brief news release with little detail.

Station management would not comment further, and attempts to reach the DJs by phone were unsuccessful.

The often controversial and racy Doghouse was started by hosts J.V. (Jeffray Vandergrift) and Elvis Medina at San Jose's Hot 97.7, moving to San Francisco when that station was sold. On April 21, representatives of the San Francisco Renegades Drum and Bugle Corps sent representatives to the morning show to promote an annual fundraiser. Lisa Johnson, a corps board member, said the team of Elvis and another station employee made lewd remarks to her and leered. Then, according to the letter, Doghouse members lambasted one of the women with the corps, saying: ``You joined color guard because you were too fat to be a cheerleader.''
