Seattle AAR affiliate takes stance on Malloy - links to Reinstate Petition

[Union Thug]

on their front page.

Good on 'em.

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I'm glad to see some stations are chimining in on this travesty. They are also playing comments on the air from those leaving phone messages about the situation.

If the chuckleheads at AAR are monitoring DU for blowback, they should take notice.

1. If more...

Affiliates get on the circus wagon, the suits in the board room don't stand a chance.

3. I hope this all works out for Mike....

his timeslot didn't allow me to listen very often, but when I did, I was thoroughly impressed and informed. I hope he comes back, and hopefully to an earlier slot. Maybe he & Rachel could team up in her new timeslot?

2. And on a CBS-owned station to boot!

Who'da thunk?

Interesting to note that the individual podcast links on that site are to www.airamericaplace.com, and not AAR directly.

[hogwyld]

12. K & R

Signed it and hope every other progessive does the same. Our voices will be heard!

[Peace Patriot]

13. Excellent! There needs to be unity on this. All the other affiliates

and the best hosts--Randi, Sam, RFK--need to protest, because if they don't, AAR will lose half its listenership, and we know that these other good commentators and hosts will be next. If they'll silence Mike, they'll silence anyone who doesn't toe the party line, and AAR will completely lose its credit and influence in leftist (majorityist) politics. XM sat radio also need to pressure them.

Here's the XM email: [e-mail]

Here are the AAR emails to write to:

[e-mail] (Jim Wigget)

AAR tel #s to call: 212-871-8290, 212-871-8100

A hard copy letter would also be good:

25. Emailing and calling still.

I hope it has some effect. It may be too late to have MM back at AAR. But I hope it has some effect.

[bdamomma]

19. Thanks for posting the executives e-mail addresses

[bdamomma]

20. I just got back an e-mail from Kreeger one of those

AAR executives saying:

doug here,

I'm protecting myself from receiving junk mail.



I responded saying I did not appreciate his rude comment.

[EFerrari]

24. Great. Welcome to DU, lisa.

:)

[greguganus]

22. signed! n/t

[Left coast liberal]

26. Yes, that is my station...

... in fact, it is supposed to be one of the best preforming stations of the AAR family. It's a ROCK solid market.

I agree, affliates should take a stand on this. People are bitching up a storm and they immediately were airing listener comments against the firing on their station promos, YESTERDAY 8/31.

That's pretty damn quick.

There are some dedicated Malloy fans here in the Seattle area AND at our station 1090 AM.

Hope it helps.

27. We don't get AAR...

down here in Oklahoma. I guess we're lucky we get NPR.
