This is why radio is dying.  Out of touch Howard Stern wannabes still doing the same tired schtick that was on radio 35 years ago.  Rob had a good run at WGRF, too bad it had to end like this. 

The station has now released an official mea culpa statement on the incident. It was read on air by 97 Rock's DJ Jickster:

“By now you’ve probably heard about some things that were said on 97 Rock this week. In a weak moment, reckless, racist words were spoken on our air. Words that echoed widely, and caused pain in this community.

Please allow us a moment to talk to you about this…and to apologize, from our hearts,  for the hurt that’s resulted.

It’s so important to us that you know, this is not who we are. We’re Buffalo people — all of us committed to making our community a better place to live.

We aim to build, and we work hard all year to lift up western New Yorkers who need a hand.  We rally this community to feed the hungry. We make wishes come true for children with life threatening illnesses. We raise money to fight cancer, support children’s hospitals, and a lot more.

It is our mission to make life better for everyone who lives here — to entertain you, make you laugh and make you proud of your hometown.

We know we have let you down, and for that we are truly sorry.  Here’s our promise — we’ll redouble our efforts to fight ignorance and racism in our community. You can trust us to do more to help, and to unify all who call this big, beautiful, diverse town their home.  

 Because….that’s who we are.  Thank you."
