Three major Montreal radio stations stop playing Michael Jackson, citing abuse allegations GlobeArts

Michael Jackson emerges after his third day in court for his child molestation trial at the Santa Barbara County Superior Court in Santa Maria, Calif., on March 2, 2005.Three major Montreal radio stations have stopped playing Michael Jackson songs as a result of child-molestation allegations against the late musician aired Sunday in an HBO documentary.

“We are attentive to listeners’ comments, and last night’s documentary created reactions,” Christine Dicaire, director of marketing and communications for Cogeco, said in a written statement.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.

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.
