Texarkana radio station bans Madonna songs after Women's March speech
Source: KVUE
TEXARKANA, Tx. (KTHV) - It looks like one radio station in Texarkana has had enough of Madonna and her music.
HITS 105 posted on their Facebook page that they are removing all of Madonna's music from their station indefinitely in response to statements she made during a speech at the Women's March. Madonna made headlines after she said she's thought an "awful lot of blowing up the White House, but I know that this won't change anything."
The radio station said they decided to remove her music after that comment as well as the various "F-bombs" she dropped during her speech.
"Banning all Madonna songs at HITS 105 is not a matter of politics, it's a matter of patriotism," said Terry Thomas, General Manager of the radio station. "It just feels wrong to us to be playing Madonna songs and paying her royalties when the artist has shown un-American sentiments."

"As of 2015, Dixie Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way—which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year—and "Not Ready to Make Nice", a single from that album. By December 2015, with 30.5 million certified albums sold,[2] and sales of 27.5 million albums in the U.S. alone, they had become the top selling all-female band and biggest-selling country group in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present)."
Because Texarkana is hardly her core fan base.
While even terrestrial FM is dying a slow, painful death? Talk about a dinosaur. Are they still spinning vinyl?
