Carrying a little stick and speaking loudly in Milwaukee

11.08.2004

Here's an update to this story from last week. Local conservative talk show host Mark Belling was suspended today as a result of the ongoing controversy over remarks made on his show a couple weeks ago.

Over the weekend, Belling apologized again for his comments. It seems the folks at Clear Channel, which owns WISN-AM where Belling's show airs, had enough of the negative publicity and sought to remedy it by taking the host off the air.

WISN and Clear Channel are probably hoping Belling's absence from the air makes the matter go away so the show can resume after a few weeks. For today, however, the sudden absence was what gave the story nationwide play on the news wires.

WisPolitics has an audio clip of the segment for those who want to hear it.
