Hate radio hosts suspended for saying Whitney Houston was ‘cracked out’ | A Los Angeles radio station suspended two talk radio hosts after making inappropriate comments about Whitney Houston. John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, the hosts of the John and Ken Show, said the late singer was “cracked out for 20 years.” The hosts, who often rail against immigrants, will return to the air Feb. 27. The National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC), which has urged the radio station to take the show off the air, said the suspension was not enough. “How many times do John and Ken get to spew their hate, apologize and then do it again after taking off a long weekend? KFI must permanently remove John and Ken from the air. Los Angeles deserves better,” said the NHMC’s Alex Nogales. Change.org has a petition here.
