A radio station in Kentucky recently made its position on the "Baby, It's Cold Outside" controversy known by playing the song for two consecutive hours on Sunday morning.  "I'm not sure why it's controversial. We've played this song for years, you know, this song is older than WAKY is. It's almost 70 years old," Joe Fredele, director of programming for WAKY, told WLKY. His comment and the station's decision come as a number of radio outlets have dropped the song from their playlists because they believe it sends the wrong message.  The holiday classic, released in the 1940s, is a duet in which the man repeatedly asks the woman to stay in his apartment and her saying time and time again that she'd rather not and asking about what is in her drink.  The Wall Street Journal notes that critics assert it's suggestive of date rape and coercion, but Susan Loesser, the daughter of the song's writer, Frank Loesser, says otherwise.  
Susan Loesser told the media outlet: "She's flirting like crazy. She's wanting to stay, but she's worried about what people will think."
