Well, everyone else is playing MJ so these fools at that station is not hurting MJ. They are in the minority probably wanted to stop playing MJ anyway because what has been revealed about LN, no one in their right mind would buy into.
I agree that we need to approach radio stations that are not playing Michael and ask why. But it must be in a respectful manner (no histrionics!!!). When they respond, we will need to provide reasoned arguments.
And the MJ fandom needs to be visible for the rest of the year - celebrating and honouring Michael - so that these stations can fully appreciate that Michael is still the KOP.

Here's what I wrote.

I'm so disappointed that Spike Lee has confirmed (via officialspikelee on Twitter) that there will be no 'MJ Block Party' this year.
Spike has held an annual Block Party for MJ in late August each year up to now.
On 30th June there is a 'Do the Right Thing Way' Block party.
Manneken and won't dance Billie Jean!
Just a few days away from this sad tenth anniversary, we regret having to communicate this to you:
A project that the mjbackstage was planning long-time has just been blocked by the political authorities of the city of Brussels, while it had been accepted more than a year ago. To honor the memory of the greatest artist of all time and celebrate artistic genius, we planned a unique event, typically Brussels: the ceremony of a king of pop's costume at... Manneken pis. Tradition means that the statue of the ketje is regularly dressed with specific costumes. A true folklore, with ceremony at the city hall on the grand-place of Brussels, speech and parade to the fountain. Our file had been approved in 2018, and our friend Diane had worked for hours to make Billie Jean's costume in a manneken pis version, which is really not an easy thing. We would like to thank her here very warmly.
The Official Discount date with the Brussels authorities had been set on 25 June. Unfortunately, on the day of dress test on a replica of the ketje, we have been informed that the new echevine of culture, Delphine Hubba, planned to prevent this event. We had to wait this Thursday, June 20th (and see the radio silence to our many messages) to finally receive, by email, an official decision cancelling Michael Jackson's costume to the manneken pis... and the beautiful party that We had planned on this occasion. We strongly regret the unacceptable conditions and the deadline in which this decision took place, as well as the total lack of consideration towards the mjb and fans of Michael Jackson.

'The Guardian' UK picked the story up- of course.
Brussels drops Michael Jackson costume plan for Manneken Pis
Plan to dress statue to mark 10th anniversary of Jackson’s death pulled after Leaving Neverland documentary
The city of Brussels has cancelled plans to dress its famous Manneken Pis statue in a Michael Jackson costume on the 10th anniversary of the controversial star’s death following the latest allegations against him.
An event to be attended by senior city officials during which the municipality would have formally received a miniature sequined jacket, black trousers, trilby hat and single white glove has also been dropped.
The 60cm (24in) Manneken Pis – “peeing boy” in the local dialect – was scheduled to be dressed as Jackson on 25 June on the initiative of a Belgian fan club, a decision that had been approved by the city’s previous administration.
The costume show, and other festivities due to take place over a six-hour event at Brussels city hall, was to be the culmination of a series of tributes leading up to the 10th anniversary of Jackson’s death in 2009, at the age of 50.
The municipality said the cancellation – approved unanimously by councillors – was made in response to the Leaving Neverland documentary, which revived claims that Jackson had sexually abused children.
Delphine Houba, a city of Brussels councillor responsible for culture and tourism, said that as the costume had already been made the clothing would be “administratively received” but that “from then on, we will not dress [him]”.
Neither will the items be put on public display in the museum of the Manneken Pis, where 1,025 pieces of clothing tailored to fit the statue are held.
The Leaving Neverland documentary told the story of two men who say they were groomed and sexually abused as boys by Jackson.
Following its showing at the Sundance festival in January and its broadcast on TV in March there was widespread condemnation of the singer, whose music was dropped by radio stations around the world.
The creators of The Simpsons also shelved an episodes featuring Jackson’s voice.
The Mannekin Pis statue is dressed about 130 times a year in various outfits to mark special occasions or events, such as St Patrick’s Day, Christmas or the start of the Olympics.
The city was said to have been particularly concerned about the possibility of a backlash from the public over the Jackson outfit during its hosting of the Grand Départ of the Tour de France, when the city will be flooded by tourists.
A spokesman said: “The city council of Brussels has not been insensitive to the documentary and has chosen to adopt a cautious position.”

Another safechuck lie .thanks to respect and tscm
I'm reading that Brussels has cancelled an event that would have involved an MJ 'Billie Jean' costume. Apparently the 'Manneken Pis' (Please google-images it) is the centre of a ceremony where it is dressed in different costumes; this year it would have been dressed as 'MJ 'Billie Jean'.
To be honest, I can see why the town dignitaries would cancel this costume this year, although it seems ridiculous that they did so at such short notice. (I think it may just have provoked more mockery of MJ. I expect the worldwide press would have used the images to make more 'noise' about the allegations).
This seems to be a 'google translate' version of what happened.
I'm so disappointed that Spike Lee has confirmed (via officialspikelee on Twitter) that there will be no 'MJ Block Party' this year.

I think it's worse when more stuff gets cancelled because I'm sure the media will make a list of it and fail to mention everything that hasn't been cancelled, or that has taken place already. I wish the Copenhagen Church service had made the news!

@WilmaBDrop12 It's not because of Leaving Neverland. It's because of scheduling issues. The Prince block party was cancelled too.<script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>
