MILWAUKEE - A radio station pulled a conservative talk radio show from the airwaves Monday as Hispanics continued to protest its host and his use of a racial slur.

WISN Radio's parent company, Clear Channel Communications Inc., said Mark Belling's program would return but did not say when.

Several advertisers complained or pulled ads after Belling used the word "wetback" to describe illegal Mexican immigrants on his Oct. 27 show about potential voter fraud in Wisconsin.

Around 300 people demonstrated outside WISN's studios Friday, and Belling issued a seven-paragraph apology Saturday. But Hispanic leaders said it was insincere and too late.

Maria Monreal-Cameron, president and CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Wisconsin, said Monday that Belling should be fired.
