Houston CBS Radio Affiliate 950KPRC
Dumps Rather, May Cancel CBS Contract

Excerpt:

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.


Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

He was doing fine until this if statement. Can CBS reinstate credibility in his view?

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

Thanks for the ping. I believe the Houston station manager is following FCC rules. The licensee is liable for transmitted content. I believe other owners/station execs to follow suit. If law suits result from this SeeeeBS sleaze, quite possibly the station/license holder could be sued for libel.
