It took just one complaint. OZ FM in St. John's aired "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straights last year, which led to an official complaint over the word "faggot" and the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council banning the song on radio. This evening, radio stations in Halifax and Edmonton are going to play the unedited version of the song on repeat for a full hour in protest of the ruling. We speak one of the radio execs behind the idea and self proclaimed professional music geek Alan Cross.
