Asian-American groups accept apology from radio hosts

TRENTON — A coalition of Asian-American groups says it has accepted an apology from two talk radio show hosts regarding on-air comments about a Korean-American political candidate that some considered racist.
The controversy stemmed from statements during an April 25 edition of "Jersey Guys," a talk show hosted by Craig Carton and Ray Rossi on NJ 101.5 WKXW-FM, owned by Millennium Radio New Jersey.
"We are encouraged by the outcome in this matter and by Millennium (Radio) New Jersey's ongoing commitment to ensure greater ethnic understanding and awareness," Veronica S. Jung, a representative of the Asian-American groups, told The Record of Bergen County.
The incident came just weeks after a high-profile exchange with Carton and acting Gov. Codey over disparaging comments Carton made about Codey's wife, Mary Jo, and her experience with postpartum depression.
