This afternoon, Rob Williams, Senior VP of ClearChannel Radio/ Market Manager for New York City released this statement"Power 105 finds recent remarks broadcast by Troi Torain of the Star & BucWild Morning Show to be wholly unacceptable. As of late this afternoon, heis no longer with Power 105.1 or Clear Channel Radio. We sincerelyapologize to those who may have been offended by his remarks."According to Josefa Paganuzzi, spokesperson for Clear Channel/New York, therest of the Star & Bucwild morning team are "on suspension until furtherinvestigation happens."On Monday, Torain, who has been exchanging verbal insults on air with DJEnvy of cross-town Emmis CHR/Rhythmic WQHT (Hot 97), made severalthreatening and sexually charge remarks about Envy's young daughter.According to sources, a listener then complained to a New York CityCouncilman, who called John Hogan, CEO of Clear Channel, demanding Star'sdismissal. As of today, Premiere has only told affiliates that the show issuspended indefinitely. Stations are responsible to put in their ownreplacement for the time the show does not air. Calls for comment to Star'smanager, Wyatt Cheeks, were unreturned at press time.
 
I never really could get into Star and Buckwild, it was very New York and for me it wasn't really funny. I think Beat just needs to flip formats. Power and WEDR are holding down the hip-hop format quite nicely.
 
MEMO TO CLEAR CHANNEL,POWER-96 and 99-JAMZ are holding down the hip hop format quite nicely. Here's your chance to flip WMIB-FM to a 'Pure Dance' music format. You can even keep the call letters and go with 'B-103.5' - 'The Beat Of Miami'. Learn from Cox's mistakes with 'PARTY-93.1'. Hire some real dance jock personalities. Broadcast LIVE from a different South Florida dance club every night of the week after 10 PM. Rotate your playlist constantly - not once every 18 months. Don't brag for three years about how many commercials you don't play per hour. Spend some Clear Channel money on this hot new station. Promote it like crazy. I can help.THE MAJOR
