A month after firing shock jock Don Imus for racist comments, CBS Radio has fired the Doghouse, a former San Francisco and San Jose morning team, for a prank phone call making fun of workers at a Chinese restaurant.

The Doghouse, with J.V. and Elvis (Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay), had been working at CBS Radio’s New York affiliate, WFNY-FM (92.3). The pair was fired Friday.

Two years ago, the two were fired in San Francisco for making sexual comments off the air to a woman who was in the studio to promote a charity event for a local drum and bugle corps.

“This is huge news. It shows we don’t have to tolerate this kind of racism,” said Frank Lee of the Organization for Justice and Equality in the East Bay, one of seven groups that petitioned the network and protested outside its New York headquarters.

The group had gathered 10,000 signatures in four days after Vandergrift and Dan Lay played the prank phone call on the air. During the call they made sexual comments to a woman who answered the phone at a Chinese restaurant and made fun of another man’s accent and driving skills.

The duo, which used to work at San Jose’s Hot 97.7 and San Francisco’s Wild 94.9 and Free FM 106.9, played the offensive call April 21, a week after former CBS morning show host Don Imus was fired for calling the Rutgers University women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos.”

Lee said his group was notified of the firing of Vandergrift and Lay and their producer late Friday. The two had been suspended after the group complained to the network April 24.

“This case should have alerted the media that programs with such racist and sexist content will not be tolerated and that racial discrimination and sexual harassment must be stopped,” Lee said in a news release.

Doghouse fans have supported the pair on its Web site and suggested that the network has infringed on freedom of speech. The fans are continually playing the prank call on the site with a segment from Fox TV’s `Hannity and Colmes.”

Both Sean Hannity, a conservative, and Alan Colmes, a liberal, have defended the Doghouse.
