ATLANTA (AP) — Clear Channel Communications suspended two Atlanta radio talk show hosts after sexually explicit talk with a porn star was aired during their morning program.
Larry Wachs and Eric Von Haessler, hosts of "Regular Guys" on WKLS-FM, had planned to interview porn star Devinn Lane on tape, then play the tape backward Friday to mock the federal crackdown on broadcast indecency.
But while recording the segment during a commercial, their microphones stayed live and Lane could be heard describing sexual acts.
Pat McDonnell, Clear Channel regional vice president, said it appeared to be an accident, but the hosts will remain off the air until a full investigation is completed.
Clear Channel, the nation's largest radio station chain, announced a zero-tolerance policy toward indecency last month. It pulled Howard Stern off its stations and fired the disc jockey known as "Bubba the Love Sponge," whose programs brought the chain a record $755,000 fine for indecency.
