that either did or came close to getting you canned?
One of the stations I worked for (WKBC) is in an ultra conservative area of North Carolina, and I found out very quickly after being hired, that I had to be careful what I said on the air.
For instance, I intro'd the bubble gum pop tune "Angel In Your Arms" once with the time, station ID, my name, and "You know, I'm just an angel in your arms - what's that? You want me to take off my wings?......my robe too huh?........well, here it comes" .....which was timed perfectly to hit the first strains of the opening vocal.
I got called into the station owner/managers office after my shift and got a stern talking to....she said - "This isn't Winston-Salem, this is North Wilkesboro - you can't say things like that on the air here - the public won't like it"..........
Keep in mind I was hired because I would say things like this on the air at my previous station (which ironically was owned by her son).
Next?
