Sheffield radio station LinkFM apologises&faces sanctions after airing 'jihadi chant’
Think the station should be suspended until it's clear that it now has strong processes in place to avoid such mistakes.
Quote:
The Pakistan Muslim Centre, the licensee of Sheffield-based Link FM, says it "wholeheartedly [apologises] for the error", adding that the presenter who broadcast the chant did not speak Arabic, and the piece had not been checked before being aired.
Link FM, which is based in Sheffield, was found to have committed two breaches of the broadcast watchdog's code by playing a chant - known as a nasheed - twice during two breakfast shows in December last year.
The Pakistan Muslim Centre, the licensee of the radio station, said it "wholeheartedly [apologised] for the error", adding that the presenter who broadcast the chant did not speak Arabic, and the piece had not been checked before being aired.
It faces sanctions following the Ofcom investigation.
The broadcast watchdog received four complaints with listeners reporting that the nasheed which was aired was called Jundallah and contained "jihadi lyrics" that "promoted terrorism".

I think I read somewhere that the same place got a rollicking a few years ago for something similar?

It's a matter of who listened and complained.
