Title: FTL loses affiliate for supporting freedom of religion!
Post by: FTL_Mark on September 02, 2014, 02:05:01 PM
We got this in an email from a company that helps us with adverting:

Please consider this as our 30 day notice of cancellation.
 
We are INTEGRITY radio and we start every day with the Catholic Rosary. We also broadcast a Catholic Mass on Sundays.  We received calls from listeners calling us hypocrites and challenging our integrity.
 
After what was said on your show last night, I believe we would be within our rights to cancel immediately, but we will honor our 30 day clause. Free Talk Live will air for the last time on WINT on Friday night/Saturday morning Sept 26/27.
 
 
WINT RADIO

Station Mgr


1330 AM in Willoughby, OH carries shows like Dennis Miller and Laura Ingram. So, they don't have a problem with controversy. I would remind you that controversy is a good thing for a talk radio program. Their audience is probably more engaged than they have been in a year and this is for an OVERNIGHT rebroadcast of FTL (Tu-Sa 12a-2a)! Some stations can't handle the heat, but in the long run they lose the listeners. You're always going to hear from those that wish to silence free speech. Those that wish to support it, just listened and enjoyed the show.

Free Talk Live is on 160+ radio stations and we will continue to support of the free speech / religious freedom rights of the Dakhma of Angra Mainyu and everyone else.  We will not let the emails and phone calls of haters and authoritarians silence our voice. Yes, we lost a station, but we will gain 10 more in its place. Willoughby, OH will be without FTL as a voice for freedom by others will benefit!

The Dakham of Angra Mainyu should be allowed to have their Black Mass at the Civic Center in Oklahoma City, as should any religious organization!

Listeners in Oklahoma City can listen to Free Talk Live Sats and Suns on 1640 AM KZLS Sats and Suns 8p to 12a, and everyone can listen at http://listen.freetalklive.com

I believe they are atheists doing a bit of trolling, but who are we to judge?

Hmm... okay, but that doesn't really answer my question since most Satanists are atheists.

No station pays FTL to air FTL. We sell ads to make our money. So, in short, no this isn't much of a loss, but it stings a bit.

Yeah, but listeners = ad money, right? Higher CPM... They play only part of the show in a bad time slot, didn't lose many listeners there? I know any loss stings, but it's their intolerance that cost you. Be proud! And see if you can get a competing station in the area.

The term is CPP in radio, but shows between 12 mid and 6a are never rated. The listeners still listen, and buy the products, but they are unrated.

We received calls from listeners calling us hypocrites and challenging our integrity.



IF a station DOES have integrity
AND
the station is called names
or the station has its "integrity challenged" ( does that mean being called names ?)

THEN acquiescing to the name calling IS a lack of integrity - which IS hypocritical to claiming integrity.

Do Catholics stations know anything about logic ?

A station man call itself INTEGRITY.
A station may CLAIM to have integrity.

Neither of those establish a fact of integrity.


PS
When someone says "Trust me", what is the usual motive behind saying that ?
If someone can be trusted, they have no need to ask you to trust them.
