Just announced on the Chris Baker talk show:

Ken Charles, the Station Manager for 950KPRC in Houston (the largest talk station in Houston) just sent the CBS News VP all his nasty e-mails and told them that CBS will either fire Dan Rather by Monday and come completely clean on the matter or he will take CBS News off the air of his radio stations (he manages two of the largest in Houston).

He took Dan Rather's 4pm top of the hour brodcast off effective immediately and replaced it with Fox news.

He said he will find a way to cancel the CBS contract if they do not resolve this in a manner that retains their credibility as a news source.

if they do not resolve this in a manner that retains their credibility as a news source.

He was doing fine until this if statement. Can C^{BS _{reinstate credibility in his view?}}

There seems to be some Houston area folks here we are not acquainted with. Visit us at our Chapter forum when you get a chance.

The one I heard was that he tied himself to a tree and carried on from there.

[GummyIII]

I was going to watch. :-)

O...K....sort of defeats the "...I will no longer be watching your channel" part of the email. I suspect there is no other way, however.

[Dubya]

I just did thanks.

- Pingity - bum^p

[Valkster]

Rather is an idiot and should be fired.

[Soaring Feather]

YES!!!!! bump

[Ptarmigan]

Cool. KPRC 950 should start using FOX News radio instead.

Hot Diggity! We need more CBS Affiliates with this kind of integrity! Wish some of the local CBS TV stations would do the same.

Here is a...

Map Of All CBS Radio Affiliates

Click a region and all major CBS affiliated radio stations for that region will appear in a list. If you type the name of station into google, for example, "KSFO AM", you will know right away if they have an online presence so you can simply contact them by email. If the station broadcasts on the internet, it is likely to be especially receptive to your email even though you may not live in its immediate broadcasting area.

Let's encourage them all to follow the fine example set by 950 KPRC. It's up to us. This is an opportunity and it won't last for long. We can make a difference in America.

Wow! This is getting serious (or series, if you will)... How much longer do ya all think CBS will be able to hold off on coming clean?

[Radix]

So it begins!

I actually watched Dan Rather for the 3rd time this week. I promised myself years ago that I would not do that. They are so going down. Finally, and it feels so good!

[Eaker]

I'm sure that there are not that many listeners anyway.

Ken Charles retooled KPRC and has made them the number one AM station in Houston and they have more listeners than many FM stations here.

Your a bit off the mark.

My daughter called from Brooklyn not long ago. She told me that NYPD helicopters have been buzzing over the East River all afternoon.

Maybe Dan jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and they are still searching for the body.

[Euro-American Scum]

Outstanding!

[laurenmarlowe]
