KDAL Talent Disciplined For Strip Club Comments

Two Duluth radio talk show hosts were disciplined for words used on-air to describe a strip club during a morning broadcast Wednesday on KDAL-AM 610.

The Duluth News-Tribune reports Ken Buehler and Johnny Lee Walker of the KDAL Morning Show were talking about Walker’s going-away party and the questionable word was used in reference to where the party should have been held. Buehler suggested a kind of bar where women are undressed from the waist up.

“It’s not a word you can’t say, it’s just not KDAL appropriate,” said KDAL operations manager Mark Fleischer.

Buehler was asked not to return for the rest of the week, but will be back on the program with Pat Cadigan on Monday. Walker announced Tuesday that he was leaving the radio business. He did not go on-air Thursday, his final day at the station, Walker said.

Ken Buehler said he was told by management that he was not allowed to comment on the suspension.

The morning show airs from 5-9 a.m. on weekdays. Buehler has been part of the lineup for about a year, Fleischer said.
