Ummm....I think you missed the part where I said that companies have the right to do exactly that.

HOWEVER, they would not be doing it if it weren't for the FCC's meddling, because these same radio personalities are helping the broadcast companies make MILLIONS.

Regardless, it is a poor business decision. Pulling a personality off the air because you got fined a couple hundred thou is a pretty stupid decision if that personality has made several million dollars for your station, and is still doing so. I would just pay the stupid fine occasionally and keep right on going.
