I convinced owners of my company to pull all ads from Sinclair!

[goodboy]

I'm in Columbus OH, WTTE & WSYX are our local affiliates. We will no longer advertise in any way, shape or form with any of Sinclair's affiliates!



Keep Fighting!

the piano played on by more professional musicians than any other:

[Stew225]

14. If you work

for PianoWorld---tell Paul Graves that someone on DU said HI!!!

My uncle used to be in the furniture business in Ohio (now retired in Florida) but he is old friends with Paul.

[goodboy]

22. actually

paul graves is my competition. I'd say hi to him, but he and his entire staff, as far as I know, are very conservative.

thanks.

[Barney Rocks]

29. hmmmm that is interesting--

I don't know any of his staff, but my uncle is an extremely liberal Democratic activist--and he always thought that Paul saw eye to eye with him on stuff! Interesting! But--it probably has been 10 years since he last saw him.

anyway--in that case good luck to his competition!

[goodboy]

33. are you talking about the store in Clearwater FL?

PianoWorld?

[Barney Rocks]

34. no. My uncle actually

lived in Cleveland Ohio and was in the furniture business for about 40 years--he owned stores all over Ohio. However he retired about 7 years ago and lives in Palm Beach Florida now. But--he has not worked at all in Florida, or ever been in business there. Now that he is in Florida, he has retired and he lives a life of leisure.

I have no idea what piano stores are in Florida, but I do know that my uncle probably does not have any business connections other than the ones he maintained for decades in Ohio.

[goodboy]

44. you know

Graves did have a store in Cleveland for the longest time, and shut it down a couple of years ago. Since our business is only about 1% of the population, I'm sure we know a lot of the same people.


We're doing really well in the Columbus market. I actually have appeared on both Sinclair-owned stations to do segments with the morning crew with Yamaha pianos/Clavinovas/Disklaviers...but that was before all this came up.

[Barney Rocks]

53. I'm glad that you

are doing well--I love pianos I own a vintage one--circa 1912! Keep up the good work--and tell your boss that they rock!

[DuaneBidoux]

38. Yea' but he doesn't want to lose piano sales to people who

vote for Kerry no? I'll bet he would take the money of a liberal in exchange for a piano just as much as anyone else's money!

[goodboy]

39. yep, and I do the same. I don't care if you're a conservative, or liberal

that doesn't change how I treat you as a customer. When the networks I advertise on do something unethical, immoral, and illegal, then I can choose not to do business with them.

[goodboy]

15. I edited the post to protect my company.....and KICK!

[George_S]

16. !!!!!

[blondeatlast]

17. You need to get this in the media; no pun intended! nt

[pelagius]

18. Made my day! n/t

[blondeatlast]

19. We need to support your company--who are they?

Good on you AND them.

We need lots o' info to pass along to our e-mail lists!

[prolesunited]

21. It might not be a good idea for him to say

Lurking freepers with malicious intent are everywhere.

Outstanding, Jason!

[blondeatlast]

24. Good point... hadn't considered that. nt

[goodboy]

45. Get rid of George W Bush. Then my company, and millions of other

small businesses will grow. That's the best support we could ever have.

[Booster]

20. Way to go, Jason. Be sure and tell your company that they

are doing the right thing for democracy and we all applaud their courage.

[goodboy]

46. I did, and I showed one owner this thread, and he was overjoyed.

he posted below somewhere.


Thanks again.

[Vincardog]

23. Good for you keep up the good work

[bloom]

[DesEtoiles]

[colonel odis]

28. freepers will definitely be trying to hurt companies that pull

their advertising from sinclair stations.

what an unbelievable bunch of losers. almost makes you want to vote for bush so they''ll all get drafted.

i said "almost."

[NJmaverick]

30. Out F*CKING standing

Keep up the good work!

[goodboy]

31. From the owner: Thank you for your kind words.

The only way we'll make a difference is to hit them where it hurts; right in their pocketbooks!

[bush equals idiot]

32. 10-4 on that.

[deadparrot]

35. Great news!

[ronnykmarshall]
