A LOCAL radio announcer has quit community broadaster Heritage FM because it features Irish jokes.
Former local radio announcer Brendan Belovnf says there is nothing funny about Irish jokes, and is so passionate about the matter he has parted ways with Heritage FM because it was regularly airing such jokes.
Mr Belovnf said he had been a volunteer announcer at the station for four years until recently when he began noticing one too many jokes at the expense of Irish people being made by the broadcaster.
“I told station management that I wasn’t happy with the telling of Irish jokes recently on air by a particular presenter because basically the jokes were portraying Irish people as dumb,” he said.
“I am half-Irish myself and I find those kinds of jokes offensive.”
