On The Air, Wisconsin Talk Host Admits Past Sexual Harassment

Dukelow

WOODWARD COMMUNICATIONS News-Talk WHBY-A-W278AU-W246AY/APPLETON, WI "FRESH TAKE" host JOSH DUKELOW told listeners FRIDAY (12/8) that he had "sexually assaulted and sexually harassed women in the past" and regrets having done so, reports the APPLETON POST-CRESCENT.  DUKELOW opened the show with the admission and said that he hoped the conversation would spur more men to talk about their past behavior.

GM KELLY RADANDT issued a statement saying that the station was unaware that DUKELOW's topic about sexual harassment would include his admission, and that the station "immediately began gathering information and have had several conversations with JOSH. As a company, we take sexual harassment very seriously and are diligent with incorporating employee training and policies. We have never received any sexual harassment allegations against JOSH. At this time, given the details he has provided -- both to us and now publicly -- there will be no changes to his current employment with our station." 

DUKELOW was off the air on MONDAY but will be back on the show TODAY (12/12).
