Vancouver, Canada’s KiSS-FM radio station has been playing Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” on repeat for hours after laying off three of their DJs on Tuesday.
Three of the pop-soft rock station’s popular DJs and radio hosts, Kevin Lim, Sonia Sidhu and Tara Jean Stevens, were laid off after five years of working at the radio station, according to Pitchfork.
“KiSS is changing and, unfortunately, we were informed that we will not be part of this new chapter,” said Lim and Sidhu during their final broadcast yesterday. “It comes with mixed emotions, as you can probably hear.”
When a listener reportedly called in to request a different song, the DJ allegedly ignored it and continued to play “Killing in the Name,” according to The Vancouver Sun.
Upon learning of the protest song’s repeated airplay on Canadian radio, Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morelloretweeted this one fan’s suggestion that the choice of song was deliberate due to staff changes.
