Rochester NY Radio: The Buzz Cuts Morning Duo For Comments

Two Rochester, NY radio personalities have been fired for making offensive remarks about the transgender community. That's after the City of Rochester announced its new healthcare plan to transgender employees and their families.

Radio hosts Kimberly and Beck of "The Breakfast Buzz" on WBZA 98.9 FM The Buzz made the comments during a 12-minute portion of the show on Wednesday.

After being suspended indefinitely on Wednesday, on Thursday, the vice president and general manager of Entercom Rochester, Sue Munn, issued a statement saying “their hateful comments against the transgender community do not represent our station or our company. We deeply apologize to the transgender community, the community of Rochester, and anyone else who was offended by their comments.”

They also mocked the mental health status of transgender individuals and how city taxpayers would be footing the bill for transgender reassignment surgeries.
