Sharpton Urges FCC Radio Crackdown

Al Sharpton has urged the FCC to crack down on radio stations that have anything to do with gangsta rap violence. “He encouraged the agency to hold field hearings to investigate violence involving radio stations, bar artists from the air for 90 days if linked to violence, and consider such incidents when deciding whether to renew broadcast licenses. Some stations were double-booking rival music artists and gossiping about competing musicians on the air just before they arrived which led to fights, Sharpton said.”
