Morning Radio Show Pulled Off the Air Over Boston Marathon Jokes
Will return Monday
A Sacramento-based syndicated morning talk show has been pulled off the air following criticism of jokes made about Boston, a day after the marathon bombings.
Entercom's KRXQ 98 Rock has pulled their morning show Rob, Arnie and Dawn after CBSSports1140 morning host Don Geronimo criticized the trio on his show for discussing if it's "too soon" to make jokes about Boston and joking about a "top 5 list" of reasons to hate the city.
