WAR OF THE RADIO!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAS JAY MAC AND G-MAN REALLY SUSPENDED FROM THE BOXX?????




It was in 1938 when Orson Welles now infamous radio adaption of the War of The Worlds fooled millions of Americans. It led them to believe there was an alien invasion happening and it was the end of the world. Fast forward about 68 years and tune into 97.9 The Boxx in Houston, Texas and you'll find the same scenario just not as impactful or significant. Thousands of Boxx listeners thought they were in the middle of The War of The Radio Disc Jockeys. The local controversy comes after two radio air personalities Jay Mac and G-Man claimed they were beefing about who was the true free style rap king in Houston. Also, other on air talent claimed after a major feud both Mac and G-Man had been suspended. This comes on the heels of the local radio station facing a full frontal attack by local activist Quanell X for playing an unedited version of the song "I'm N Luv with A Stripper." So with so many factors coming into play the public was left believing their favorite radio station was falling apart before their very eyes. But what some in the public didn't know that while the protest by Quanell X was very real, the feuding air personalities was not. The Boxx revealed Monday but The Insite learned last Thursday that the feud between the personalities was just a promotion to a Thursday night rap contest. The event was suppose to coincide with April Fools day but took on a life of its own. So, in case you're wondering there was no real War of the Radio Disck Jockey's...

    I heard about this on nthe radio this morning. Madd Hatta was on complaining about the media news to get the full truth when they lie for an etire week to its listeners. 97.9 is crap and their license should be pulled.

    I suspected it was a "distraction" because they wanted to divert attention from the Quanell X controvery ( they must have been taking "distraction" notes from the Bush Administration). Either way, I smelled a rat from the beginning.

    I also heard a couple of their DJ's hinting at legal action against a local station for defamation after airing a story about the situation. Anyone know what station this was?
