Businesses pull advertising on KOA Over Gunny Bob Comments

C

Cornflake the Destroyer

From Will Shanley

"At least three metro-area businesses have asked radio station KOA-850 AM to pull their advertisements from the "Gunny Bob" Newman show following remarks about Muslims made last week by the conservative talk-show host.

The companies, Excel Roofing, Ralph Schomp Automotive and Three Tomatoes Catering, asked that the ads run in different time slots on KOA after being petitioned by ProgressNowAction, an advocacy group in Denver.

At least one other advertiser with the radio station is also considering asking that its spots be removed from Newman's show, said Michael Huttner, the group's executive director."

I'm not a fan but I hate to see these groups and activists deciding who gets on the radio.
Stations have no balls. Advertisers have no balls. Everybody caves.
