Where did you hear that?

I see the station changed their apology on their website. I say keep Hot 97 in hot water. Yippee!!! Keep it up ladies, our voices are being heard. One by one we can remove these fools off the air, or at least let them know their is a certain level of
'entertainment' and if crossed it will not be tolerated!!!

UPDATE!

Miss Jones and the Morning show has been suspended indefinitely.

As of today, several key advertisers have pulled their sponsorship dollars from the show, including Sprint and Mc Donalds.

Hot97.com has an official statement about this.

Her apology is crap. She is not sorry at all. Miss Jones played that song for 4 days -- whenever any one called in to complain. She is sorry she provoked the listeners enough to write, call and e-mail enough higher ups to get her and her Morning Show members suspended.

She is also the one behind the Smackfest - they have listeners comes from all over to slap each other for money. I guess they sign waivers or something - sanctioned assault/battery?

one smackfest program

She will probably be on 105.1 or 98.7 by the end of the week.

I sent Mcdonalds an email telling them about my concerns with their affilation/sponsership with Hot97: Here is an email from them I got today...

Excellent!!!!! Hit them where it hurts. That is the only way they will listen.

Honestly, I think it was dumb, but not worth the energy to get people fired. There is free speech in this country, and while I don't approve of what the song states, I don't think it's right for people to get fired for playing a song, no matter how insensitive it was.

JMO.
