100.5 were suspended and ordered to undergo sensitivity training after making remarks about being at "real" Alaskan. "Have you made love to the Yukon River and peed in a Native woman?" one of the DJs said.
The DJs haven't publicly apologized but issued written apologies through the radio station. Some Alaska Native groups have pulled their advertising and the Alaska House voted to condemn the remarks.
