‘Dog’ gone! CBS axes radio show after prank
The Don Imus effect took down more shock jocks yesterday after an Asian-mocking joke left CBS radio execs with another hole in their schedule.
CBS confirmed “The Dog House with JV and Elvis” show was canned permanently after an on-air prank call three weeks ago ordered “slimp flied lice” from a Chinese restaurant.
The show’s on-air hosts, Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay, were suspended as CBS decided their future.
” ‘The Dog House with JV and Elvis’ will no longer be broadcast,” said CBS Radio spokeswoman Karen Mateo.
“In the wake of the Imus case, it would have been maddening to the community if these idiots did not get fired,” said Queens City Councilman John Liu.

Internet radio loses royalty fee appeal
A U.S. Federal copyright panel upheld a contentious decision on Monday that would increase royalty fees Webcasters must pay to record labels.
The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board said after reviewing filings submitted by small commercial Webcasters, National Public Radio, and others, none of them had “made a sufficient showing of new evidence or clear error or manifest injustice that would warrant rehearing.”
The three-member board in its five-page order also declined to postpone the May 15 deadline when the new fees are scheduled to kick in.
The new rules prescribe rate hikes of .08 cents per song per listener retroactive to 2006. The rates would climb to .19 cents per song by 2010, which amounts to a 30 percent increase per year. Each station would also have to hand over a minimum 500 U.S. dollar royalty payment under the ruling.
