Chris Brown Music Banned On Cleveland Radio Stations

Local radio station WAKS FM/ 96.5 has removed all music by pop star Chris Brown -- currently under police investigation for allegedly attacking his girlfriend, 20-year-old singer Rihanna -- from its on-air playlist until further notice.

Brown, 19, was arrested Sunday night in Los Angeles and booked on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was released after posting $50,000 bail.

Rihanna reportedly suffered visible injuries in the alleged physical confrontation in a car early Sunday morning. She is cooperating with police building a domestic violence case against Brown, according to press reports.

"After the alleged incident the phones exploded," Java Joel, evening host at "KISS FM" WAKS, said in a press release issued by Clear Channel. WAKS is owned by Clear Channel. "It's all that people wanted to talk about. They were outraged at this alleged behavior and wondered why we were continuing to support his music. I agreed and immediately pulled all Chris Brown songs from my show until this thing shakes out in the legal system."

KISS program director Bo Matthews said he decided to take Brown's music off the station entirely. "It appears that Chris has made some poor choices, we are following the lead of our listeners, and we will not be supporting Chris Brown on 96.5 Kiss FM in Cleveland until the alleged situation gets resolved," Matthews said.

This isn't the only fallout from Brown's legal troubles. The makers of Doublemint gum have stopped airing a television commercial featuring the singer.
