Apparently Entercom is real serious about not mentioning Sirius or XM on the air, because it’s being reported that an afternoon talker was bleeped when mentioning the news about the companies yesterday.
According to Radio-Info, regionally syndicated afternoon talker Howie Carr was bleeped when reading the news about the DOJ’s approval (from the Drudge Report apparently).
Carr supposedly was discussing the merger news on air, saying “Justice Department approves [EDIT]. That’s good.” Then later Carr said to his producer: “Did you cut that out? I can’t report the news?”
More and more it’s the corporate regulations - not the FCC mandated indecency regulations - that are crippling broadcasters from doing their job. This is a perfect example.
