3 French Radio Stations Stop Playing Michael Jackson Music After ‘Leaving Neverland’

06/03/2019

3 Major Montreal radio stations have stopped playing Michael Jackson songs as a result of child-molestation allegations against the late musician that aired Sunday and Monday in an HBO documentary.


A spokeswoman for the owner of the French-language stations CKOI and Rythme and the English-language The Beat says Jackson’s music was pulled starting Monday morning.


Cogeco spokeswoman Christine Dicaire says the action is a response to listener reactions to the documentary.
She added that the decision will also apply to Cogeco Media stations in smaller markets in Quebec. The company operates 23 radio stations.


The documentary Leaving Neverland began airing Sunday on HBO. It details the abuse allegations of two men who had previously denied Jackson molested them and actually supported him to authorities.
