Shock jocks suspended

Still recovering from the Don Imus scandal, CBS Radio suspended two local shock jocks after they twice broadcast a racially charged prank call to employees at a Chinese restaurant.

The hosts of the daily morning show, WFNY-FM’s “The Dog House With JV and Elvis,” have been suspended indefinitely without pay, CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo told the New York Times in an e-mail Monday. One of the hosts, Jeff Vandergrift, apologized on Monday’s show, she said.

In the segment, broadcast on April 5 -- a day after the infamous Imus comment on CBS -- and again last week, a caller to a Chinese restaurant intersperses an order for takeout with lewd language.

Community advocates pushed for CBS to fire the hosts of the show.
