Q102 Philly Uncensored?

A poster on the New York Radio Message Board reports driving from NYC to the shore and hearing Q-102, which he calls "almost a carbon copy" of Clear Channel sister station Z-100 in New York - but with a "Philly flavor."

He notes however Z-100 censors the lyrics of some songs, while Q-102 does not:
Both stations play the song "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" by Panic At The Disco, a rock band. The chorus of this song includes the line: "I'd chime in with a 'Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!'" When Z100 plays this song, the words "God damn" are censored, while they go out over the air when the song is played on Q102. The word "whore" also goes out in Philadelphia, while it is cut in NYC.

Interesting. I would have thought New York would be more "wide open" than Philly.
 
That song is not an urban song so I think the use of vulgarity is completly and totally acceptable. As it will have no effect on anyone due to the color of the skin of the person singing the lyrics. However, if that was a rapper I would be calling the FCC... come to think of it I bet Q102 is a pirate. Only illegal pirates play urban filth.


:D :D :D
 
yea i know what you mean. Panic! At The Disco's album "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" is excellent! I love their song "It's Time To Dance" I love to run to that song! :) 8)
 
I think Panic! At The Disco is the best new band out their. I am going to their concert in Philly on Saturday.

Check out their track BUT ITS BETTER IF YOU DO. It is the most requested song on my radio show.
 
I forget the name to but its is good. Their whole cd is great.
 
I went to the panic at the disco concert last night it was so great they are even better live. All us Philadelphians new every word which was cool. If you ever get a chance to see them live do!
 
In New York more people could hear the words and be offended. :eek:

In Philly we have just angry people. :-\ That or, nobody listens to Q-I02 anymore. :'(
