Station issues apology after negative Mariah remarks

On Thursday, January 27th, we posted audio clips of Power 92 disc jockey Brandon responding to people as they asked to hear Mariah's new single "It's Like That" played on air. Instead of spinning the song as requested, Brandon dished out rude comments that were insulting to both Mariah as well as the people requesting her single. "No hoes are played on this station," he told one listener. "Mariah is a slut, that's why she doesn't have any fame anymore. She opens her legs for everybody, even the farm animals."

The listening audience was appalled and flooded the station with their disdained opinions. Some fans even filed complaints with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates communications for a number of media outlets including radio stations. As a result, Brandon issued an apology on air. "It was inappropriate of me to say the things I did," he said. Since then, he has not been on-air regularly and reports suggest that he has either been demoted or temporarily suspended from the station.

The station, located in Peoria, Illinois, is also now kindly accepting requests for Mariah's "It's Like That". If you live in the area, please call the station at (866) 686-9292 or (309) 686-9292 to request the single. All votes will be tallied and counted towards the Power 9@9 countdown, which airs at 9:00pm central time.
