CBS Radio Show Hosts Suspended After Prank Call

[FloridaJudy]

Am I mistaken, or has morning radio been taken over by the most obnoxious kids in middle school?

1. And everyone thought Howard Stern was a problem

:eyes:

2. They bothered people who were required to be polite with them.

Because they were working. Yeah. They should be fired. Let them work in a restaurant.

3. JV and Elvis... they used to be VERY big here in the SF Bay Area.

If I remember correctly, they (along w/ a third host, Hollywood) were fired maybe a year ago from their morning show on Wild 94.9 (the Dog House). I was wondering what happened to 'em...

4. I wish the FCC would just start enforcing the "serve the public" clause of these licenses

This is no "Imus" situation where there are real sums of money involved. "JV" and "Elvis" probably get $300 a day each for their illustrious broadcast.

It's funny that these supposedly omniscent media companies, with their constant polling and focus groups, fail to grasp that the country as a whole has pretty much had it with this whole "lad culture" fad that has infiltrated everything in sight.

WFNY is pulls a '1' share, according to Arbotron 12+ AQH. Why not just pull the plug on these bozos? Are they afraid of them being picked up by another 1-share flamethrower, thus destroying the CBS "Tiffany Network?" Or maybe they're just waiting for al this to blow over so they can bring them back after they've perfected their schtik to include "prank" calls to a synagogue and "joke" about needing a nose job.
