I'm fuming. Apparently they're suspended for some comments a homeless man made on air, which, in my opinion, were no big deal on XM. XM was supposed to be a place where they could say whatever they wished without fear of being censored or reprehended, and yet, XM has suspended them, whereas Free FM is keeping them on the air.

What the fuck is the radio world coming to?

Fascists. They should be allowed to say anything they want, as long as it's not inciting violence.

Precisely. Thank you.

What's more, they were taken off XM, which is not regulated by the FCC. This whole thing would make more sense if the FCC were to suspend them for indecent remarks on terrestrial radio.

Ahem. A one, a two, a one two three...

Can't say I saw that coming

. But this situation did not involve the good ol' FCC, surprisingly.

Yeah, but I didn't know when I'd next get the op to use it.
