Fired DJ to return to radio

NEW YORK (AP) — A hip-hop disc jockey who was fired for making threatening racial and sexual remarks about a rival's wife and four-year-old daughter will return to the airwaves, a public relations firm said on Monday.

DJ Star, whose real name is Troi Torain, and his half-brother, Timothy Joseph, or Buc Wild, will host a morning show on a city FM station, said Bryan Pierce of 5W Public Relations. The name of the station, which was being represented by 5W, will not be disclosed before a news conference today, Pierce said.

In May, 2006, Torain, who was co-host of the syndicated "Star & Buc Wild Morning Show" on Clear Channel Radio's Power 105.1 FM, offered $500 to any listener who could provide information about the rival DJ's daughter's school and used racial slurs when talking about his wife, who is part Asian. He said he wanted to sexually abuse the daughter and urinate on her.
