[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.

We should all
thank Ken Charles for his integrity (scroll down left sidebar menu to "contact - contact KPRC).
On the same menu, near the top, is a link to listen to KPRC live over the net.

I just wrote my local cbs television station and told them 'sorry you have to be associated with the network but until they make things right, you're locked out of my household'. We'll see...

Just about. Rather was born in Wharton, TX, Halloween 1931. Got his start in New Orleans, at the CBS Southern Bureau.

Looks like somebody in broadcasting is listening to their customers and/or their conscience after all. We need more of this. CBS is on the fastrack to become the incredible shrinking network.

I am so pleased to hear about this. I sent e-mail to KPRC, long before the RatherGate events, explaining that we often switched off KPRC talk radio at the top of each hour to avoid hearing the CBS News Break. We called it the "CBS Liberal Lies Break" in our house. The KPRC advertisers at the top of each hour following the news were wasting their money in our home at least.
