BAI upholds complaint over George Hook
Although the radio station apologised and suspended Mr Hook over the controversy, part of the BAI compliance committee’s decision was based on the fact that it failed to take corrective action in a timely fashion.
Mr Hook apologised in a statement the day after the broadcast last September, and made an on-air apology three days later. He was suspended a week after his comments and Newstalk confirmed a week later that he was being removed from his lunchtime slot.
