Co-host Arnie States expressed regret for his profoundly offensive remarks, "I ignorantly thought that namecalling was just that, and due to my ignorance, I was wrong about that." The third host, Dawn Rossi, had objected to the defamatory language throughout this incident.

For two and a half hours on Thursday, they were joined by Kim and Autumn in responding to listener calls in a very respectful and informative dialogue. GLAAD Senior Director of Media Programs Rashad Robinson later described the broadcast as encouraging,

"Today's episode of Rob, Arnie & Dawn in the Morning was an important opportunity to have a conversation about transgender people and lives, and we are encouraged that the hosts used their platform as a forum for education about these issues in a way that resonated with listeners,"

You can hear the entire broadcast on the KRXQ web site.

On the same day, KRXQ General Manager John Geary expressed the same sentiment on the station home page:

I know that you are probably aware of the recent comments made on the Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show, which have clearly upset, and caused pain to, many who heard them. I regret that, as those remarks do not represent my beliefs, or those of Entercom. We have always encouraged, and will continue to encourage, everyone on the Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show to exchange diverse and, at times, provocative points of view. These recent comments, however, were not just provocative; they were hurtful, and, they were unacceptable.

The show that aired today was intended to provide an open forum to candidly discuss the complex issues of sexual identity, and to be a positive and thoughtful consideration of this topic. We can't undo the hurt that may have been caused, but we can foster a greater level of tolerance and understanding by people on both sides of the issue. I believe that today's program began that process.

I would like to thank the Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show, the KRXQ FM management and station owner Entercom Communications for stepping up to do the right thing. I am grateful to everyone who raised awareness of the harm brought by verbal violence against children and especially to Kim Pearson and Autumn Sandeen for their leadership on the Thursday morning broadcast.
