Too raunchy for radio!
A couple of months ago, the National Hispanic Media Coalition & the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation launched a campaign against the Jose Luis Sin Censura Show. The radio show is broadcast in 37 markets across the U.S. & is very raunchy even for radio. The Jose Luis Sin Censura Show is like the radio version of Jerry Springer Show. They have shouting matches constantly, naked girls fighting, & unacceptable language throughout the show, even if it is in spanish!
A few months ago, the NHMC & GLAAD filed a complaint against the show to the FCC. The complaint was because of the language of the show that obviously offended many. In the show they had said words in spanish but still very ugly. Words like: "pinche (f***ing in english), "culero" (assf***er), "punal" (faggot), & even anit-latino slurs like "wetback".
The NHMC & GLAAD weren't the only organizations to complain, a total of 30 organizations filed a complaint to the FCC because of the show's vulgar segments. Yet, the show is still on the air.
This show obviously has an audience out there that continues to grow. Despite the hard campaign against the show, I don't think they will be pulled by the FCC. It will be different if it was television, but FCC allows a few loopholes when it comes to radio shows. There are many shows out there that are unfortunately still on the air, promoting hate. Look at Rush Limbaugh, he still has a very strong fan base. Depsite the fact that he called our President a muslim, joked about Michelle Obama's weight, & even backed up the Tea Party at times.
There's always an audience out there that is easily entertained & influenced. The good outcome is that many coporate companies have taken notice to such behavior on The Jose Luis Sin Censura Show & pulled their advertising. AT&T has pulled their advertising as of today from the show.
That's a good start but they will still have an audience in 37 other markets. I think they just say whatever comes to their head without thinking. Although, the ad for the show looks pretty gay to me! What's with the hot guys half naked behind the host? Okay!
