TORONTO - A Canadian broadcast watchdog says it has received no complaints from listeners after radio stations intentionally defied a ruling against "Money for Nothing" by airing marathons of the Dire Straits tune last week.

The Canadian Broadcast Standards Council ruled the 1985 hit single unfit for radio because its lyrics include an anti-gay slur.

The decision sparked an impassioned outcry and classic-rock radio stations in Halifax and Edmonton struck back by playing the unedited version of the song over and over again.

J.C. Douglas, the program director at Q104 in Halifax, said earlier this week that a few listeners pledged to file complaints in response to the stunt, while others claimed they had already done so.

But Canadian Broadcast Standards Council national chairman Ron Cohen said Wednesday afternoon that no such grievances had been filed.

The council won't take action against any stations airing the unedited version of the song unless another listener complains.

"Actually, I was surprised, but there aren't any complaints received yet," he said in a telephone interview.
