The issue first arose on Jan. 23 when the hosts of CKOI-FM’s afternoon drive show broadcast a clip of Madonna at an anti-Trump protest march. “And to our detractors that insist this march will never add up to anything … f–k you!” the pop singer declared. “We acknowledge that some sensible ears may be offended by that often-called ‘four letter word.’ However, in French culture, this word doesn’t arouse much reaction,” the station wrote. But the panel cleared the host for using the F-word, saying it was okay in French if used infrequently and not to insult an individual or group. In the English version, the council referred to the “English F-Word,” while in French it wrote the obscenity in full.
