Various factors including listeners, sponsors, and the FCC.

Dear WRKO: We are pulling ads from your station because
we are offended by your midmorning talk host. People are
coming into our stores and complaining about it.

It's the marketplace. Look at when people boycott something like a TV show/network: the "advertiser pressure". That's
what's going on here. WRKO is afraid of losing listeners,
SPONSORS, etc,; and certainly a certain Mr. Stern's
language resulted in CBS/Infinity getting a bunch of FCC
fines.

...so we do have freedom of speech but various factors in a commercial radio station may lead them to certain decisions.

Like the country stations who pulled Dixie Chicks music
after that furor, remember? :)

You think that offended the average WRKO listener? I think for every 1 offended they have 100,000 who chuckled.

This all comes down to the gay agenda. "fag" gets you suspended. "Fat Lezy" gets you fired. "Corrupt Midget" and "Fatboy" gets you a big contract.

Stern may have gotten them fined by the stuck by him because he was a golden goose who laid 24k eggs.
