A Clear Channel spokeswoman emphasized that the list was not a mandate or
order to radio programmers. In a statement, the company said the list came
not from the corporate offices but from "a grass-roots effort that was
apparently circulated among program directors."
Others in the Clear Channel network, speaking on condition of anonymity,
told a more complicated story. They said that a smaller list of questionable
songs was originally generated by the corporate office, but an overzealous
regional executive began contributing suggestions and circulating the list
via e-mail, where it continued to grow.
