Not personal at all. I don't care for shock jocks and wouldn't listen to them, so I'm going on what I've heard in the media (although they did touch on this on WPLJ's morning show).
I'm not sure I know the whole story of what O&A were doing but just the idea doing something weird and possibly offensive while a religous service is going on not good. The Catholics may have gotten more publicity on this than another religious group, but I'm sure any religous group would be upset.
WNEW/Infinity are keeping their mouth shut for some reason...perhaps under legal advice. I agree O&A may have been hired to push the envelope, but sometimes people can go to far.
Classic rock stations do tend to repeat the same stuff over and over (Q104 does the same), but it was still very sad when things you've expected to be the same change - like WNEW. I wasn't a big WNEW fan growing up but my DH was - he's got tons of concerts he taped of the air from them. Now he likes WFUV.
