WBAB jocks apologize for racist bit, by Bart Jones, Newsday. Under threat of suspension or firing, two WBAB radio hosts Friday apologized profusely for a fake commercial they aired called "Wetback Steakhouse," said they would undergo cultural sensitivity training and channel more of the charitable donations they raise to Latino groups. John Parise and Roger Luce of the Roger and JP morning show also said the station would invite Latinos onto its public affairs programs to discuss issues affecting their community. Does this indicate that WBAB's signal was not hijacked? It doesn't say that. Earlier coverage here and here. 7:33:01 AM    comment []
