First, you'd have to prove that your ability to listen to the radio service was terminated deliberately, and not accidentally or as the result of some technical problem. Then, you would need to prove that the termination occurred as a direct result of your comments. Both are difficult to establish.
More importantly, remember that Yahoo is a private company. They are not required to do business with anyone except under their own terms. So, unless you paid for the service, even if you can establish the above facts, there is nothing you can claim other than Yahoo refused to allow you to access a part of their private service.
Unless you had a pay-for-service contract, or were claiming broad discriminatory practices on behalf of a large group of people, I don't think there's much of a claim here. And even if you could prove everything, the cost of the suit would far exceed anything you could get even if you win.

Why do you think you could sue for that? They didn't have a duty to provide these services to you. If there's no duty, you can't sue, under any part of the law. You didn't have a contract and this didn't hurt you in a way that you could sue for tort. You might be slightly inconvenienced by having to find a new radio program, but that's not something that you can do a lawsuit over. And I don't think Yahoo removed the service because of your question... unless someone reports you, I really don't think yahoo reads our questions at all.

You can sue anyone for anything and my firm, Souix, Grabbit and Runne, will be delighted to represent you. You have no chance of winning of course.

No, whether or not they did it on purpose, they can choose to deny anyone access to any of their servers whenever and for whatever reasons they choose.
