L.A. talker KFI (640) suspends John & Ken over "crack ho" remarks
The afternoon duo allegedly said that Houston had been "cracked out for 20 years" and commented about her death, "Really, it took this long?" Here's the statement from Clear Channel-owned KFI: "John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou have been suspended for making insensitive and inappropriate remarks about the late Whitney Houston. Management does not condone, support or tolerate statements of this kind." The statement goes on to quote John Kobylt: "We made a mistake, and we accept the station's decision. We used language that was inappropriate, and we sincerely apologize to the listeners, and to the family of Ms. Houston." KFI says "John and Ken will return to the air Monday, February 27." The Los Angeles Board of Radio-Info.com is talking about John and Ken's latest scrape here.
