Two fired over radio tsunami parody

NEW YORK (AP) -- The producer and co-host of a morning radio show that mocked tsunami victims have been fired.

Producer Rick Del Gado and co-host Todd Lynn were fired. Del Gado was involved in writing and airing the song, and Lynn made "offensive, racially insensitive comments" following the song's broadcast, Cummings said.

Three other members of the morning crew, including star Tarsha "Miss" Jones, remain in the middle of a two-week suspension that ends February 9. Their salaries from those two weeks will be donated to tsunami relief. full story


While there's still nothing on Miss Info in the story, a little digging came up with this story from FMBQ, in which it says that:
Other members of the morning show crew -- Miss Jones, DJ Envy and Tasha Hightower -- have each been given two-week suspensions with their salaries being redirected to Give2Asia for the duration of their suspensions, which will end on Wednesday, February 9. Another member of the morning show, Miss Info, was not suspended.
That's good to know. at least Emmis Communications has some sense. I can't believe Miss Jones got off the hook though. In my mind she's just as guilty as Lynn and Del Gado, and deserves to be axed as well. A two week suspension without pay? You've gotta be kidding me!

Keep on making noise...the people CAN make a difference!
