3 radio stations pull Michael Jackson music citing child abuse claims in 'Leaving Neverland'
While Michael Jackson fans are divided over the child abuse allegations in Leaving Neverland, Cogeco Media, one of the largest radio networks in Quebec, has pulled the late singer’s music from its stations.
The ban means that the King of Pop’s music will not be played on three major stations owned by the company — CKOI, Rythme and The Beat. Dicaire told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that the decision also applies to Cogeco Media stations in smaller markets. The company operates 23 radio stations in total that reach more than five million listeners per week.
In the U.S., Cumulus Media, one of the largest owner and operators of AM and FM radio stations, said the company “is never in favor of censorship,” according to Variety. In the Leaving Neverland documentary, which aired on HBO Sunday and Monday, two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, detailed abuse allegations against the singer, who died in 2009. Jackson maintained his innocence amid similar allegations when he was alive — and was found not guilty of charges with both Robson and Safechuck testifying on his behalf.
