Fwd: Do Not Advertise List

Subject: Do Not Advertise List

At one of our recent meetings I mentioned the memo of advertisers that refused to advertise on progressive talk radio.  The memo is attached.  The memo went out to radio stations that used ABC Network news and told them who refused to advertise on Air America affiliates and that they should "black out" and commercials for these advertisers during the news broadcast.  This was back when Air America and KLSD had only been on the air a few months.

 

Interesting, I think, that both Microsoft and GE are on the list.  They are the co-owners of MSNBC and later discovered that there was a market for progressive "news" and that profit trumps political philosophy.

 

I'm off to San Francisco in a couple hours.  See you later,

'Mysterious' Ocean Current...

This is not the first time this has occurred nor will it be the last...
We are used to dealing with RIP Currents at the water's surface, but this is a current dangerous for SCUBA Divers.

Thanks to Terry Straight, Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and KFMB Ch 8, divers now will know and understand this phenomenum.



Not so mysterious, but important to know and understand.
