Two broadcasters in Maine have been terminated, according to a statement posted on the WHOU Facebook page, after calling female high school basketball players overweight and laughing about it.
Radio station owner Fred Grant told CNN the two broadcasters involved are Jim Carter and Steve Shaw.
WHOU is a local radio station located in Houlton, which borders New Brunswick, Canada, in eastern Maine. The broadcast "happened on our video streaming service WHOU.live, not on our radio station WHOU 100.1 FM," Grant told CNN.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
