Michael Jackson Is Being Banned All Around The Globe

This is big for the music industry in the case of Michael Jackson. Who would have thought in a million years that they would be trying to lock Michael Jackson up in 2019.

It was expected that the explosive details set to be revealed in the recently aired Leaving Neverland documentary would have some requisite fallout. Stations In Canada and New Zealand took songs from its playlist after the documentary aired in the States.

“Michael Jackson isn’t currently on any MediaWorks Radio stations’ playlists,” Leon Wratt, the company’s director for radio, said in a statement. “This is a reflection of our audiences and their preferences — it is our job to ensure our radio stations are playing the music people want to hear.”

A spokesman for Radio NZ, a publicly-funded broadcaster, said it would only play Jackson if it was “part of a news story or to provide color around a commentary piece.”

In Canada, three major Montreal-based radio stations have also stopped playing Jackson’s music, according to Canadian news outlet CBC. Other stations in Canada are reported to be monitoring the situation.
