Howard Stern is not welcome in Houston.....it's time for us to watch the President's back
I did something on my show today that I have never done before, ask my listeners to take action and protest a show on another radio station, the Howard Stern Show. In our business, one doesn’t usually mention another station. Broadcasters fear they will have their listeners tune to that other station. This is particularly the case when the station with the larger audience mentions a station with a smaller audience. Another words, don’t give the little guy any free publicity. There is also a concern that some might think the station that is protesting another is actually concerned that the “other” station may steal some of its audience.
I can assure you that first, KSEV has a much, much larger audience than the “other” station. Secondly, I am not afraid of their competition. Our listeners have been loyal to us for over 15 years and would never consider listening to trash talk on another station.
My protest is based on two key points. First, we do not need the foul mouthed, low class Howard Stern espousing his filth on our public airways. He debases women, humiliates people and trashed the community standards. Secondly, he has vowed to defeat President George Bush. He is angry that the F.C.C. has clamped down on him and blames the President. He is against the President’s decision opposing stem cell research, is pro abortion and against the war in Iraq. He has made it a personal mission to get his audience to vote in bloc for Kerry.
I am angry at Infinity Broadcasting bring Stern to Houston. It is a personal affront, to the city where the President’s parents live, to the state that the President calls home and to a community that largely supports the President, to air a host who has vowed to get the President. The local station that will carry Stern beginning in July, also owns KILT FM and KILT AM.
I am asking all citizens to contact KILT FM, the biggest money maker for the company in Houston, and make your protest heard. Tell then you will not support KILT FM or KILT AM or their sponsors if they put Stern on the air. I ask the top officials at the Rodeo to tell KILT they will no longer be welcomed at the rodeo, if they allow Stern on the air in Houston. I am asking all the area Pastors to protest.
This is an important issue. Stern must be stopped. He is the Michael Moore of radio. We don’t need his gutter trash talk in our community. We especially don’t need anyone who is out to get the President to be allowed air time in our city. We owe it to the President to fight for him in our town and watch his back.
Call KILT FM today. Call the corporate office/investor relations today. If you own Viacom stock, tell them you will sell it. It is time for us to stand up to the Howard Sterns of the world.

Viacom owns CBS, Paramount Pictures and MTV as part of their holdings as well as Infinity Radio Group. This is an example of a huge company, thinking it can just steamroll into a community and dump their human waste on it. Stern is human waste.
