It seems Hot 99.5/Washington, D.C., offered to bail Bobby Brown out of jail in exchange for Brown appearing on "The Kane Show", Hot 99.5's morning program. Well, Brown accepted. But, when it came down to making good on his appearance, things did not go so well. According to starpulse.com:

"Brown did call the morning program...but hung up after 10 minutes after getting into an argument with the host over whether he would discuss his child support woes and his actual agreement with the station...the two engaged in a lengthy argument over Brown's alleged agreement to appear on the show and he hung up."

The station's website says, in part: "Hot 99.5 and Bobby Brown's Attorney have mutually decided that this wasn't in their best interest and Bobby's attorney has agreed to return the money to Hot 99.5."

My Take on this Turkey: I fault any radio show or station that thinks talking to Bobby Brown is relevant programming. You get what you deserve.
