[history]
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.

KFYI here in Arizona was already going on about how much longer they would be a CBS affiliate. They run CBS news during the daytime, but at night and on weekend they usually run a foxnews feed. Methinks CBS market share is a dwindling base. :)

O...K....sort of defeats the "...I will no longer be watching your channel" part of the email.Only if they know I'm doing it. :-) At the moment, they're worried one of the dreaded pyjama-people is compiling a list of their advertisers to put on the net.

Certainly not all CC stations are CBS affiliates.Ours (AM 610 in SoFlo) is an ABC affiliate.

Yes! We should all contact our CBS affiliates in our areas and express our concerns and hope they will consider sending similar emails. CBS Credibility is zero and any station that remains with them has the same credibility.
Can any enterprising freeper obtain/compile email or other contact information for CBS affiliate management?
Same could be said for news outlets that carry AP stories, as they are just as guilty of manufacturing news for the kerry campaign.
