According to the Sacramento Bee, ten employees of the radio station KDND (107.9, the end) have been fired for their role in a contest for a Nintendo Wii which allegedly lead to the death of one listener. In addition to the firing of the DJs and radio "personalities", the station also saw fit to cancel the "Morning Rave" program.
Jennifer Strange, 28 and mother of three, died of suspected water intoxication in the station's ill-conceived "Hold your Wee for a Wii" competition.
I'll reserve further comment, but hope this leads to a massive wave of morning radio personality firings.
