LONDON, Nov 24: British media regulators on Thursday imposed their biggest sanction ever against a radio broadcaster, fining Manchester’s Key 103 FM 125,000 pounds ($215,500) for comments made by a presenter.
In October last year, James Stannage joked about the death of Kenneth Bigley, a British engineer who was murdered while held hostage in Iraq.
He also made highly abusive comments about Muslims, Ofcom said, and used a mock Asian accent.—Reuters
