Abstract:

Radio station WRDU is the Triangle’s most popular station thanks to shock-jocks Steve Reynolds and Kevin Silva. Reynolds and Silva have 169, 000 listeners per week who tune in to their raunchy and controversial show that airs between WRDU’s rock music. Some area residents are offended at their brand of comedy often aimed at women, blacks, ethnic groups, and Southerners. Questions also arise about how long WRDU and the show will stay popular as musical tastes change.
