FIRED OVER IRAQ SUPPORT?
Groups, SF Host Call Attention To Possible Sacto Funny Business
Has ongoing support for America's involvement in Iraq cost a Sacramento talker his job?
After the termination of longtime conservative KFBK / Sacramento host Mark Williams (top right photo), that's what several political groups, as well as a prominent San Francisco talker, seem to be suggesting.
Though "budget cuts" were originally cited as the reason for his departure, Williams was quickly replaced by an outspoken liberal, sparking suspicions about the real motivations behind the move.
Because his replacement is said to be adamantly opposed to American actions in Iraq, groups such as Move America Forward, led by KSFO/ San Francisco morning host Melanie Morgan, have sprung into action.
With some early success already claimed, an advertiser boycott is underway.
In addition, after reports that Rush Limbaugh may soon be removed from Armed Forces Radio, the talk titan is fighting back against recommendations made by Lund Media Research.
The company was recently hired by the military to "modernize" the network's programming schedule.
In my latest Inside Radio column, "Battleground: Rush", we cover both of these issues in-depth. Read it here.
Thanks for the ping!

In case you hadn't heard the Loonies want to cut Rush off from the Armed Forces Radio Network he gets 36% of the listening audience with only one hour, NPR with 5 hour gets 37% of the listening audience, and Scare America with 3 hours gets 1-2%.

I appreciate the ping but this is a NorCal issue that I have to shrug off; "there they go again". I enjoyed NorCal for 4 years (Mountain View, San Mateo, Fremont) but couldn't take the stench of liberalism any longer. I moved to SoCal for a reason...it's quite red down here. Besides, the weather's better :)
That being said... we have Melanie Morgan at KSFO 560 in the Bay Area and she is WAAAAY prettier than John & Ken or Roger Hedgecock, etc... :)
Thanks for the link.
