While no statistics are available for the number of listeners to the show, Saibil said he was contacted by many people who enjoyed the show and wanted to listen the next week. There was virtually no advertising, just a few tableslips for one meal. In fact, after having done a pilot episode last semester, the station purchased a seven-second delay machine so that the hosts could adhere to Federal Communications Commission regulations. A delay machine allows hosts to edit a live show in case callers use inappropriate language. But officials of the Wheeler School, a private school for nursery through high school students, merely didn't approve of the show's sexual content.
People tune back in later in the day.
Corgan claims that McCarthy and BSR's executive board decided to cancel the show before he spoke with them. We just didn't have a choice. There was no obscene language, and the hosts only had to censor one caller, Saibil said. Some students say they can understand why the Wheeler School objected, but find it discouraging that Brown student radio doesn't have its own voice. Saibil is discouraged because he and Caro-Bruce had extensive plans for future shows and were just getting comfortable with the equipment.
