Corus Radio suspends airplay of Hedley in wake of sexual misconduct allegations

A spokesperson said the move is temporary and the company will "continue to closely monitor the situation."

The pop-rockers fronted by Jacob Hoggard and including Dave Rosin, Tommy Mac and Jay Benison issued a statement calling the allegations "unsubstantiated."

Edmonton-based radio station Hot 107 tweeted that it won't play any Hedley music until further notice.

B.C.-based Kiss Radio also tweeted that it has dropped Hedley songs from its playlist.

The philanthropic organization WE, which has had a long relationship with the band, saidit has "no plans to work with Hedley in the future."

And Air Miles saidit has cancelled a contest in which its collectors could have won a VIP experience at a Hedley concert. Air Miles said"winners will be offered a substitute prize."
