Pushing Back on Glenn Beck in central Ohio


paper ballots now - Posted on 03 September 2009

FYI, below are the advertisers on the Glenn Beck Show. If you feel like it, contact them and let them know whether or not you appreciate their sponsorship of Glenn Beck's show. You can remind them of Glenn Beck's comments, like "President Obama is a racist" and "The Hurricane Katrina survivors are scumbags" and "I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims."

You could ask these advertisers if they endorse or reject Glenn Beck's
comments and insinuations. The Glenn Beck Show can be heard between 9
AM and noon weekdays on 610 WTVN, Brian Dytko, General Manager, phone number 486-6101. You could suggest that WTVN's parent company, Clear Channel, return Air America Radio (Progressive Talk) to the radio airwaves in Columbus and then you wouldn't be so upset as to call advertisers.

btw, many of the advertisers did not realize that their ads were running during the Glenn Beck Show or they were unfamiliar with his show. Several advertising decision-makers said they would consider not sponsoring Beck's show because with just a few initial calls. Their decision would be much easier if more calls were made.

Here are the advertisers heard during the Glenn Beck Radio Show this week:

There is a national effort to contact advertisers of the Glenn Beck radio and TV shows. Learn more about it at www.colorofchange.org .

This is from a USA Today "Common Ground" column with conservative Cal Thomas and moderate Bob Beckel , published in 2007. http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2007/07/a-warning-to-ta....

Bob: So how's that for common ground? No Fairness Doctrine, but encourage grassroots pressure directed at advertisers of radio, or any broadcast programs — liberal or conservative — that not only don't allow dissenting opinions, but lie with impunity.

Cal Thomas: If people don't like a program, they can both choose not to listen and not buy the products advertised on such shows. Boycotts, after all, are as American as apple pie.
