Right before signing off at 8 a.m. today, Steve Uyehara had to apologize for a comment he made that had offended some viewers. I missed hearing the comment. What did Steve say? He seemed quite embarassed.

Re: KGMB "Sunrise" Apology
Could this be like a radio station promo that will try to bring in more listeners to tune in to the station in order to find out what the disc jockey said that was offensive?
Why didn't the KGMB poster on this board write in with an explanation of what happened or do they want to keep you in suspense?

Re: KGMB "Sunrise" Apology
It seems to me that if he said something and you were offended by what you heard, the apology was for you. If you didn't, the apology wasn't for you, so why would the station want to repeat the offense?But I'm disturbed! I'm depressed! I'm inadequate! I GOT IT ALL! (George Costanza)

It seems to me that if you are talking to THOUSANDS of people on a LIVE show 2.5 hours per day, 5 days a week, sooner or later you are going to say SOMETHING offensive to SOMEBODY. Let it go.....get a life.

Re: KGMB "Sunrise" Apology
As someone who has to write for "the masses" every day, you'd be surprised at what people take offense to, and what they don't take offenses to.

Originally posted by Walkoff Balk View PostThen, it's okay for a broadcaster to say something racist, sexist, or an offensive statement against a group of people on the air. Instead of stating an apology for the offensive remark, he says, "let it go, get a life." You're a better person than me. if you wouldn't be upset when the statement was made against the group you're in.
No, it's not ok for a broadcaster to offend people, thus the apology that was made. My statement, "Let it go....get a life" is directed to people who have a morbid curiousity to find out about the gory details after the fact. Consider this, if it was THAT big an issue, we would have heard about and Steve would be off the air. So therefore I conclude that it is not worth pursuing.

Give me back the 60's when TV personel wore their gun to the show...
Everything is so fake and PC today that I'm surprised there isn't a pre-emptive appologetic spot every 5 mins. on radio or a crawl on TV to appease some of the oversensetives that have nothing better to do than always complain and ruin it all for everyone else.

Re: KGMB "Sunrise" Apology
Could Steve's apology be for the fact that he LOVES Kevin Federline???
hahaha! I would be red and embarrassed after saying that too!
