Hits 105 Texarkana bans 'un-American' Madonna

[mvcg66b3r]

A Texarkana classic hits radio station won’t be playing “Material Girl” anytime soon: HITS 105 has knocked Madonna off its playlist as “a matter of patriotism,” calling the singer’s Women’s March on Washington speech “un-American.”

In a statement posted on the station’s Facebook page, general manager Terry Thomas said “Banning all Madonna songs at HITS 105 is not a matter of politics, it’s a matter of patriotism. It just feels wrong to us to be playing Madonna songs and paying her royalties when the artist has shown un-American sentiments. If all stations playing Madonna took their lead from us, that would send a powerful economic message to Madonna.”

i'm sure more radio stations in cities that lean "Right" in their political views will ban her music from their airwaves, but it could be similar to almost all country stations banning Dixie Chicks music in 2003 in the wake of the comments one of them made in the wake of the Iraq War.

I don't follow the current charts much. Are there any hit-oriented stations that even play Madonna?

But yes, "bombing the White House" is a bit much.

As if Madonna cares. As if.

She probably doesn't but it's cheap publicity for the station at her expense.
