University of Delaware Condemns Student TV Credit Thanking 'Charlie Kirk’s Killer'

Officials removed the credit within hours without announcing discipline.

Overview

  • The phrase appeared in the closing "Special Thanks" of The BiWeekly Show alongside other facetious entries such as "cocaine" and "violence," according to posts shared by the Delaware GOP.
  • The university issued a statement calling the language deeply offensive and said students cut the rolling credits from the version posted after the livestream.
  • STN49 is student-run but operates under the University of Delaware’s Department of Communication with a named faculty adviser, according to the network’s bylaws.
  • Delaware Republican Party leaders publicized the credits and called for an apology and a transparent investigation into how the content aired.
  • The Federalist reported an internal message urging students not to speak to the press, and the university has not detailed any disciplinary steps tied to the episode.
