Some North American radio stations have stopped playing the music of Arcade Fire after the rock band’s frontman, Win Butler, was accused of sexual misconduct.
A representative for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. told Ottawa City News and CBC News that the broadcaster will “pause” playing the Grammy-winning act’s work on its CBC Music FM radio station and the SiriusXM CBC Radio 3 station “until we learn more about the situation.”
Additionally, the program director of Indie88 in Toronto also said that his station made “a quick decision over the weekend to pull the band’s music” but has “not yet had a fulsome internal conversation about the permanence of this decision.”
