Where will The Dog House Resurface?

My question is, are they banned from CBS radio in any market? My guess would be yes. Where else could they possibly go?

I am an admitted fan, but is there any station here that could possibly pick them up? Or is it over for Elvis and JV?
 
Maybe KTRB-860???

How about KTRB-860. They're Independently owned and this would give them pr (whether it is good or bad?) as well as a local show.
 
Re: Doghouse Fired. Again. (Was: Where will The Dog House Resurface?)

The Associated Press reported this afternoon that the firing is official:

NEW YORK, May 12, 2007 (AP) -- One month after CBS Radio fired radio host Don Imus, it has permanently pulled the plug on a pair of suspended New York shock jocks for a prank phone call rife with offensive Asian stereotypes.

"The Dog House with JV and Elvis," hosted by Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay, "will no longer be broadcast," CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo said Saturday.

The cancellation of the show on WFNY-FM, nearly three weeks after the hosts were suspended, was another indication of the increased scrutiny on radio hosts and the heightened management sensitivity to complaints in the wake of the Imus firing.

Side comment: when the last person leaves the last studio at the last radio station in the U.S., make sure you turn out the lights...

Oh, and scratch Free FM 106.9 off their list of potential Bay Area stations, for two reasons. The first is that CBS owns it, and CBS ain't going to hire them back here.

No chance they work till after this "fire the radio host because they said....." wave ends. (and honestly, why would they want to work right now not knowing what they can and cannot say?) By that time, maybe a non CBS, non CC station in the Bay Area will have flipped to an appropriate format for them, or the satellite merger will have been decided one way or the other and their hiring freezes will be over.
 
JV and Elvis are dead meat for a while. If they have hung on to some of their dough, maybe they can ride this out. Never cared for Imus, but think he had the right to be obnoxious, or even a bigot. It sure appears like the market made this decision, Sharpton not withstanding. When Proctor and Gamble, the biggest advertiser in the country, pulls off your station, any management would yell uncle.
