'BLOTTO' BIG TROTS OUT 'BLUE' MATERIAL

December 18, 2004 -- Radio program director Frankie Blue, apparently under the influence after an office Christmas party, grabbed the mike during a late-night show on 102.7 WNEW this week — and may have gone off-color.
Bounced WNEW shock jocks Opie and Anthony reported the incident with great relish on their XM Satellite radio show yesterday as they played a tape of Blue's slurring unscheduled Wednesday night on-air appearance on DJ Yvonne Velasquez's show.
But the big question is whether Blue — who had attended WNEW's Christmas bash that afternoon — uttered the F-word.
During four rambling minutes at the mike, Blue — the legendary urban radio programmer hired last July to kick-start the long struggling WNEW — repeatedly promoted a station-sponsored $50,000 contest, muffing his words and mixing up the station's name.
The highlight — as far as Opie and Anthony were concerned — came when a seemingly blotto Blue said station stars Rick, RuPaul and Kim would "pick out a winner, and then they're going to f - - - the winner."
Opie and Anthony weren't sure just what the f-word was, but they had a lot of fun speculating — and delighting in the decline of the station that booted them over two years ago after they broadcast a couple having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"The station's been in the toilet since we left," said a gleeful Gregg "Opie" Hughes.
Blue was not at work yesterday and did not return a call for comment from The Post.
No complaints about Blue's possibly off-color remark were received by the Federal Communications Commission, according to enforcement bureau spokeswoman Janice Wise.
It's about time O&A got credit for breaking a story on satellite radio.

Mainelli used to be program director at WABC radio in New York before going to the Post
I'm pretty sure he's a fan of the Boys and doesn't particularly care for Hoo...Hoo
Good to see he's got his XM...................

Maybe we should write the FCC to let them know we were "offended" see if it starts anything against WNEW

That station is self-destructing on it's own and besides, Infinity is looking to dump stations anyway. I'm sure that will be one of them

So I'm not allowed to be white if I listen to dance music?
Christ, there's a Hip-hop station in Philly that's programmed, promoted, and DJ'ed almost entirely by white people.

Just thinking out loud here, but wouldn't a late night show fall under safe harbor rules where silly little things like the occasional F-Word are usually overlooked?
