DJs / DJ's
Hi teachers,
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/97836/Kate-Middleton-Prank-Radio-DJs-Left-Heartbroken-And-Gutted-Over-Death-Of-Nurse
The Australian radio DJ's who prank called the hospital that Kate Middleton was being treated at for acute morning sickness last week, have gone on Australian TV to apologise for their prank and have admitted to being "heartbroken" and "gutted" over the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha.
What's the plural form of the noun "DJ"? DJs? DJ's?

This is a relatively new idea in punctuation. I prefer to consider CD, DJ, PM (prime minister), etc., as single entities, with no apostrophe unless making it a possessive. [The new CDs are very exciting. ~ The CD's release date is still unknown.] [The DJs are responsible for their prank. ~ The DJs' prank had far-reaching consequences.] Other natives will disagree, I am sure.
