Radio Boycott

Updated:

The NAACP is calling for a boycott of the Star and Buc Wild Show. The New York based morning show has now hit Richmond's airwaves on 106.5 Da Beat, but some would rather tune the show out.

"The n-word constantly, the b-word referring to our women," says Virginia NAACP President Salim Khalfani.

Khalfani and other community leaders want the shock jock crew off the Richmond airwaves, and they're urging a boycott.

"I just don't know how any human being of good conscience could support that filth," he says.

The show's main host, Star, takes aim at all cultures, there's even a character on the show called White Trash.

We tried to get in contact with the Program Manager of 106.5 Da Beat at Clear Channel, but he had no comment, meanwhile managers at the station are expected to meet with members of the NAACP.

What impact it will have remains to be seen. At a news conference Tuesday, some business leaders threatened to go after advertisers if the show is not taken off the air.

"It's all negative, there's nothing positive in it at all," says Buisness Leader, Ken Johnson.

It seems what some are calling the new face of talk radio, may be hitting a sour note with Richmond listeners.
