I wholeheartedly agree. The real leverage is through the advertisers, if

you can get the people that provide the income to the station involved

things will change - sometimes quite quickly.



A few years ago in Bend one of the stations thought it would be a great

idea to bring LAs "Mark & Brian" to the local airwaves. They lasted

exactly one day - the the amount of time it took the stations number one

advertiser to realize it's customers were very displeased.

I respectfully disagree. No, I don't suggest calling the show to try to

argue with these people. You're correct that it doesn't do any good.



But, there IS a way to deal with it, which is as Steve suggests: letting

the

management of the station and the advertisers know that you find these

types

of comments unacceptable. Face it, money makes the world go 'round.

Endanger the money flow (ie. tell the advertisers you won't shop with

them

if they allow this type of behavior to go unchecked) and watch some

change

happen.   If enough people write to them, they WILL listen.



I sent my letter to the advertisers. I hope a few more people will as

well.
