Was Christmas At Ground Zero banned from some stations?
Someone told me that Christmas At Ground Zero was banned from some radio stations! Is this true and if it is, why?
WHAT CAN YOU DO?

I don't think he offended any radio stations. I think that the good doctor was trying to be sympathetic to those people that lost a loved one in the tragedy of September 11th.
You have to realise that the Christmas shows aired less then ten weeks after the attack and a lot of people didn't have closure yet.
The World Trade Center was commonly referred to as "ground zero" by the media, and I don't think anyone wanted to talk about nuclear bombs going off during Christmas at "ground zero"
Maybe by Christmas this year people will be more open to the humor that is in that song and it will be back on the Doctor Demento show. On the other hand, it might be five, or even twenty-seven years before people are ready to hear it again.

Ah hello? The person who told me said it was banned when it was released
I don't think that C@GZ was banned since it's release. It was played on Dr. D. for quite some time, the only exception I know of is this past Christmas season. My favorite alternative station used to play songs like C@GZ and TNSWC-EGV around Christmastime every year before they started playing Howard Stern's show. I doubt that they would have played either song this year because of 9/11.
