We're currently taking a break, you can read more about why here. Our archived news and book reviews are still online and you can view or search the old site if you wish. We're aggregating headlines from some our favorite sources at MediaMouse.org, so check that out if you are interested.

97.9 WGRD: Radio, Misogyny, & Sexism in Grand Rapids

This is a set of data and resources (linked to the right) that accompany an article written by Media Mouse on Grand Rapids alternative rock station WGRD's use of sexism and misogyny to appeal to male listeners. While the transcripts linked below should make it abundantly clear how WGRD and specifically, DJ David Fox, promote a subservient role for women through their repeated references to women as sex objects, readers are strongly encouraged to consult the article accompanying this data for additional contextual information.

Contact the WGRD Staff

We strongly encourage people to contact the WGRD's management staff to let them know that the offensive content featured on David Fox's show is unacceptable:

Additionally, WGRD's owner—Regent Broadcasting—can be contacted locally at 616-451-4800 or at its corporate headquarters at 513-651-1190.

WGRD Transcripts Showing Homophobic, Racist, Sexist, and Misogynistic Content

The following transcripts were collected in during the months of February 2006 and March 2006. They are not intended to log every incident of objectionable content but instead provide a representative sampling of the content that can be heard on DJ David Fox's 7:00pm to 12:00pm show on Monday through Friday on WGRD.
