Positive I heard an F-bomb-ing

Seriously... TWICE!
Jock in question said no, but I know what I heard. (Not that I'm offended, I was concerned for their jobs!)
I listened to the context a couple times and there's no doubt because of the specifics of the caller's leading dialogue. Explanation: the word was used/spoken outside of its typical context...it is also the name of a British clothing corporation [acronym of French Connection United Kingdom], however the caller used the f-word instead of the co's initials, as is its proper pronunciation.
Neither person in the studio heard it that way, legitimately believing the person said "Bucs," but the sound over the air didn't contain a "B" or an "S", just an "F" and "K"..... clearly, twice.
It was "prime time" (sort of) on a weekend, at a mid-ranked commercial station owned by a non-tolerant corporation.
Couldn't the people involved still lose their jobs? ???
And/or get fined?
Thanks for any input.

OK... so since it was the weekend, that narrows it down to around 4 stations that aren't voicetracked. Whoever it was and whatever the case, get over it. There's bigger problems like this "mid-ranked commercial station's" playlist. 50% of the songs they're playing might as well contain the word in question. You know what the "artists" are implying anyway. Kids aren't stupid. Move on....
 
Hey Bill, Ever heard the saying "don't mess with people that buy ink by the barrell?" Ponder that for a minute....

Gee, thanks.
I was mainly surprised, is all.
And wondering about implications in today's environment--thought I'd talk about it with some professionals.
Whatever.
 
How about this...forget you ever heard it so someone might keep a job...Christ :mad:
There's no need for this conversation. We all know what is ELEGEDLY forbidden right?
S**T happens people!!! Can we at least try and get over it and stop pretending we're all SO CLEAN.
Damn..P.C. behavior is slowing tearing things apart.

...and to think if it weren't for Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, we might not even be having this discussion...

Amazing the damage a couple of dumb boobs can cause.
