WWL Radio's corporate parent says an internal probe into who posted an anti-gay tweet to the station's official Twitter account is over.
"WWL has completed its investigation into the highly offensive, unauthorized tweet sent from WWL’s Twitter account on September 10, which directed a homophobic slur at Seth Dunlap," Entercom Communications said in a release. "WWL conducted this investigation with the assistance of an external digital forensic firm and outside counsel, and expended considerable internal resources both in New Orleans and on our corporate staff."
The company did not say what that probe revealed.
"We determined that the most appropriate next step is to involve law enforcement. At this point, the investigation is in the hands of law enforcement."
Entercom says that it is not appropriate to comment any further.
"We will be preparing a lawsuit and complaint in the upcoming weeks," the statement from his attorney said.
