SAGA COMMUNICATIONS OF ARKANSAS, LLC was granted a license renewal for KEGI (Classic Hits 100.5 THE EAGLE, formerly Classic Rock KDEZ (Z-100))/JONESBORO, AR, but has been slapped with a proposed fine of $4,000 for airing a lottery commercial during a live broadcast. Stations in states without lotteries are prohibited from airing ads for other states' lotteries; on a remote from a liquor store across the border in MISSOURI, an announcer touted "a whole Lotto luck and a whole lot more, if you know what I mean, nudge nudge wink wink" and "Lotto MISSOURI luck." Another allegation of indecency involving promos for HOOTERS was dismissed by the Commission.

I recall several years ago when it was announced that Hooters was going to build in Springfield. Several folks were all up in arms. I ran an editorial saying that I had eaten at several Hooters across the country and their food is "OK", not spectacular, but not bad either. AND...that if you are concerned about seeing too much "skin" from the girls, not to worry, you see the same amount on the cheer leaders at a SMS ballgame. Next day some old lady called the station and talked with me, she said the reason people were upset was because it was named after a woman's body parts....I quickly replied... "you know, down in Branson, there's a store named "Dick's Five and Ten" and I have never heard a man complain about that.
She hung up on me.
