WXXL DJ Left Off The Red Carpet
6-11-06
According to Carol Alfonso, WXXL-FM
106.7 DJ Alex Diaz, was
allowed to watch the American Idol's Season Finale rehearsals and he was audio
taping the rehearsals, but FOX TV policy does not allow the
taping of material that they consider copyrighted. It turns out that Alex
Diaz, played back a segment of "Idol" with winner Taylor
Hicks and runner up Katharine McPhee dancing to one of the songs of
the show, during the rehearsal. Diaz aired his tape during the Doc &
Johnny Morning Show. During the "Red Carpet" event, Diaz was
confronted by FOX Network executives, who were aware of the airing
of the material and they told Diaz to surrender his credentials for the
show's "Red Carpet" and the after show parties.
