Progressive Talker Ed Schultz Dropped From Central Iowa Station
Do you live in or near Boone, Iowa? I just found out today that the Boone station, KWGB, has dropped its only progressive program host. Reason given was Ed used the words “hell” and “damn” on the air. Ed was only added to the station's line-up in March 2009. I do not know when they dropped him.KWBG is choosing to air only conservative talker Michael Smerconish two hours daily. I spoke directly with someone at the local station who said they are happy with their current line-up and have no plans to replace Ed Schultz with any other progressive host. The person I spoke with said he has never even heard of Thom Hartmann or Stephanie Miller.
So if you live in central Iowa, in range of this locally owned station, now is your chance to do something about this sorry state of affairs. Give them a call. Let them know about the possibilities. If they get enough complaints, they apparently will change their programming. And since they are not owned by Clear Channel, you might actually be able to get something done. CONTACT: (515) 432-2046
