Baby, It Ain’t That Cold OutsideAfter #MeToo listeners complaints prompted ENTERCOM AC WDOK (STAR 102)/CLEVELAND to stop playing the song “Baby It’s Cold Outside,” BONNEVILLE AC KOSI (KOSI 101.1)/DENVER took an online poll on the song and over 15,000 responses later, an overwhelmingly majority of listeners were in favor of the song returning to the air.
“We value the opinion of all our listeners and appreciate the feedback we received,” KOSI 101.1 PD JIM LAWSON said. “Respondents voted 95% in favor of us keeping the song as part of KOSI 101.1’s tradition of playing all of your holiday favorites. While we are sensitive to those who may be upset by some of the lyrics, the majority of our listeners have expressed their interpretation of the song to be non-offensive.”

BOOM!
BEST. LINE. EVER.!
Way to go Mile High & KOSI!
Take that #MeToo…
Hopefully this will be the first of many such polls. Nice to see an (albeit small) retraction in what was a rather hasty knee jerk reaction on the part of all media. If you go back through Google, the controversy surrounding these song lyrics is nothing new. I discovered this last year after Gene Valaitis devoted a good portion of one of his Roundhouse Radio morning shows to dissecting the song in the context of the Me Too Movement.
YES! Social Engineered propaganda defeated. One for our side.
