Dear Chris [ Gen. Mgr - KPUA ]
I work for a major rent a car company here on the Big Island
For years I have been programming your station into each and every rental car I get in during the course of my work day .I have programmed literally 10’s of 1000’s of such rental cars
Effective immediately I will cease programming your station into any and all cars and I shall further re-visit the programming I have done and remove all pre-sets to your station .
Your discontinuance of Rush was a bad idea . It will have it’s own costs
Bye bye
There you go! THAT’S the way to do it. Leave them alone and let the weeds grow up around them until they disappear completely.
Love it! My rentals in LA always have ‘mariachi’ music programmed in
When my dad was still alive, he was a courtesy driver for a Lexus dealership in in S.E. Michigan and he would do the same thing to the cars he was returning to owners after being serviced.
Advertiser boycotts can work, though they usually fail because most people don't connect purchasing decisions to their personal values.
Once an advertiser boycott gains traction — and in very liberal areas like Massachusetts and Hawaii they may work against Limbaugh because the station managers and many in the potential listening audience are likely to disagree with Limbaugh — the best way to respond is for highly motivated supporters to counteract the boycott by responding with letters indicating that cutting Limbaugh also carries costs.
When people complained about articles in newspapers where I have worked, one of the questions I liked to ask — not the first question, but on the list — was whether the complainer was a subscriber or a regular reader. Often the person complaining wasn't even an occasional reader but got angry about something they read on the internet and complained without even being a paying customer! It's amazing how often that happens.
When actual paying customers (or in Leo WIndhorse’s case, people with an economic impact) complain about a boycott, it can have a significant effect.
