‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ pulled from ‘some’ Canadian radio stations
TORONTO – “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” is getting a chilly response from Canadian radio stations.
CBC Radio says it will join at least two other broadcasters in the country, Rogers Media and Bell Media, who have pulled the controversial Christmas favourite out of their rotations this year.
That comes as the duet, written back in 1944, faces renewed scrutiny over what some say are inappropriate lyrics which have been amplified in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
CBC spokeswoman Nicola Makoway says the broadcaster plans to remove the song at midnight on Tuesday with “no plans to play it going forward.”
