    I’m very happy many advertisers have pulled their ads from this station! Idiotic comments from broadcasters need to result in these actions and it wouldn’t be a bad idea to give these moron announcers a boot out of their jobs. Glad I majored in broadcast media prior to the shock jock age starting. Hope people still learn ethical methods of broadcasting!
