Quebec stations stop playing Michael Jackson, citing abuse allegations

A spokeswoman for the owner of the French-language stations CKOI and Rythme and the English-language The Beat said they pulled Jackson's music Monday morning.

She added that the decision will also apply to Cogeco Media stations in smaller markets in the province. The company operates 23 radio stations that it says reach more than 5 million listeners every week.No other broadcasters contacted said they plan to remove Jackson hits from the airwaves. "We currently have no plans to pull the songs but are monitoring the situation closely," Chris Sarpong, a spokesman for Corus Radio, said in an email to The Canadian Press on Sunday.

Jackson's family and his estate have denounced the documentary in recent weeks through written statements, a lawsuit and letters to HBO and Britain's Channel 4, which also plans to air the film. Their central criticism has been the film's failure to talk to family members or other defenders of Jackson, whom they insist never molested a child.

"It's the story of these two families and not of all the other people who were or weren't abused by Michael Jackson," Reed told The Associated Press after the film's premiere. "People who spent time with him can go, 'He couldn't possibly be a pedophile.' How do they know? It's absurd."

R u kidding me! The guy is gone, let him Rest In Peace already! And they are allegations, correct? So WTH.....

Okay but he was proven innocent sooo..SMH

Dear Quebec radio stations, stop being PC GUTLESS WONDERS!!! These guys wait 10 yrs before contradicting (lying) their SWORN statements made before a court!! You are believing a one side story, MJs (conveniently) not here to defend himself!! Shame on them and shame on you!!

I just burned all my Michael Jackson CDs👍🏻🤣🤣 good riddance

Good!, all radio stations should banned all his songs years ago. If M.J. were alive today, would be be added to the metoo list, like Kevin Spacey?, or Bill Cosby?. M.J. was a very sick individual, a grown man sleeping with young children?. 😡🤬

Just In: The inventor of the wheel was a wife beater. Boycott and stop using anything that relies on the wheel.

Is this new news for them? Was Quebec under a media blackout during the 90s?

This is stupid...get over it. Leave the man alone. He was abused himself as a child...let the man rest in peace!!!

According to Airchecker Golden West (40 stations) has done the same.

But what will the Catholic priests use for background mood music?

Michael Jackson's brothers say accusers' film neglects factsMichael Jackson's brothers and nephew say they weren't surprised by a documentary resurrecting allegations of his sexual abuse of children, and they're prepared to defend him. And they know any better than the victims? Pfft. They’re more worried about losing $$$$. How often did they visit Neverland? Did they stay overnight when MJ had young guests? Were they there when MJ gave children wine? Huge income at stake to cover this unpleasant side of their brother. WeHateBait
