Follow Up: CEO tries to lie to Rocky Mt. News

Breach of contract much? (0.00 / 0)

So Brown doesn't like being publically associated with a politician who is supported largely by racist organization?  Is he going to repudiate his support for One Trick Tom, and demand his money back?  Nope.  He's gonna use his power as CEO of NRC to try to pull the ad.  Because republicans are all about suppression of the truth.

My Letter to KCUV (4.00 / 1)

Since KBCO, KTCL and KBPI have lost their free-form and innovative styles due to the corporatization of the radio industry, KCUV, a NRC station, has been a welcome relief to my ears.  They play some great music that isnt heard on other stations, a little bit of old, a little bit of new, its just great.  Here is my note to KCUV/NRC broadcasting re: the Winters ad and their response.

To Whom It May Concern:

I am really disappointed in the actions by your stations owner, Tim Brown regarding his refusal to air ads by Democratic Congressional Candidate Bill Winter.  The "Dateline: South Carolina" ad makes credible connections between a number of right-wing hate groups and current US Congressman and Winter opponent, Tom Tancredo.  Local newspapers and internet blogs have uncovered information regarding donations by station owner Tim Brown to the re-election campaign of congressman Tom Tancredo which may or may not have influenced the decision to pull the ad from your station as well as other NRC Broadcasting stations in Denver.

KCUV has been a breath of fresh air to the airwaves of Denver, harkening back to the free-form "old days" of KBCO and other AAA stations.  I have appreciated the range of artists that KCUV plays on the air since you were broadcasting on the AM dial, the amount of material you play that is never heard on any other local station is mind blowing.

There seems to be a ground swell of support gathering on the internet and the media against Tim Brown and NRC Broadcasting and I fear that your great station will needlessly be drug into the whole matter. 

I would like to emplore anyone at KCUV who might have the ear of Mr.
Brown, for the love of the music, ask him to withdraw his objections to the "Dateline: South Carolina" ad and allow it to air on yours and other NRC Broadcasting Stations.

Thx,

archangelsk

Their response:

Archangelsk,

Thank you very much for contacting KCUV!

To set the record straight we have honored the contract we have with the Bill Winter campaign and in doing so have run all of their commercials and will continue to do so.

We have complied with all FCC regulations and rules as it relates to this issue.

Pulled Winter Ad discussed on Jay Marvin (0.00 / 0)

On Jay Marvin, AM760, this morning, after Jay had Bill Winter on, the topic of the 'pulled' radio advertisement came up, which just enraged Jay. The podcast of Hour 4 should be up on the AM760 site soon. At the end of the show, Jay brought on Berrick Abramson, who gave Jay an update that the Winter campaign had received news that the station (JACK-FM) was going to indeed run the ads. Can you say 'backpedaling like crazy'?

Several of us have sent emails to Keith Olbermann's Countdown to nominate Tim Brown to win a "World's Worst Person" award.
