Actually, my station of choice is the NPR affiliate in Buffalo, NY.

Well Bionca, I hope these horrible things you are mentioning in your posts are not occuring here. There is prejudice, homophobia, sexism, intolerance, etc of course to a certain degree, but I hope they keep it to themselves and I hope they are in the minority (and in the suburbs..stay away from downtown!).

Well I don't know about Canada, but those horrible things do happen here(in the US). While my initial thought was oh well its just some radio stunt just trying to get more listeners and publicity. That still doesn't excuse their comments.

If this morning radio show was a "comedy-themed" program, it still shows how skillfull the really good comedians/talk show hosts are. I watch Craig Ferguson and Chelsea Lately semi-regularly and they don't come across as mean...more like silly and mischevious. They poke fun at all strata of society but they walk the other side of the line. The guys on Bionca's radio station seem to walk on the other.
