Subject: Call for FCC investigation into CBS WFNY-FM (92.3) "Doghouse" repeated sexual and racial discrimination broadcast
Body:
Dear …
I'd like to alert you to a very disturbing public radio broadcast by CBS WFNY-FM, 92.3FM in New York, New York, in the “Doghouse” program by JV and Elvis. And I'd like to call for a formal FCC investigation into its indecent content, levy of highest fines for the two incidents, and shut-down of the “Doghouse” program.
Here is the link (on Youtube.com) of the recording of the program segment.

The 6-minute segment was first broadcast on April 5th, a day after the infamous Imus incident (also on CBS), and outrageously rebroadcast on April 20th (date needs to be verified), after Imus was fired by CBS. Their pushing and testing of boundaries is impossible to ignore.
CBS, as one of the major mainstream media in the United States whose influence on public especially on young people cannot be over-stated, in this case, grossly abused its broadcasting privilege, and must take full responsibility for the incidents. The fact that CBS let such profane content broadcast and re-broadcast is both horrifying and most unsettling. What is CBS sponsoring? What is CBS encouraging?
I’m …. Of Chinese origin (and as a female), I found the content incredibly insulting, and found the re-broadcast infuriating. The extreme offensive nature of the continuous sexually and racially discriminative content is way beyond whatever that "freedom of speech" could possibly justify. And I can assure you that the Chinese communities that I'm connected to felt the same way.
According to my knowledge, New York City Council member John C. Liu, California Sen. Leland Yee, and activist Jesse Jackson have all expressed their protests and/or concerns.
Your immediate look into this matter and public or private response would be highly appreciated.
With regards

NEW YORK TIMES 报上登的文章：
CBS Radio suspended two hosts from an FM station in New York City yesterday after an Asian-American advocacy organization complained about the broadcast of a six-minute prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant that was peppered with ethnic and sexual slurs.
The call was first played on “The Dog House With JV and Elvis,” a mid-morning show on WFNY, on April 5, the day after Don Imus made his comment about the Rutgers women’s basketball team on WFAN, another CBS-owned station. The call was then replayed on “The Dog House” on Thursday, a week after Mr. Imus was fired by CBS Radio.
