Clear Channel Radio DJs threatening cyclists, again!

If you're wondering what stations Clear Channel owns in your area, go here

Another interesting link I got from a google search:

Couldn't we ask them to throw plastic bottles and request that they drink
all the contents first?

DON'T BOTHER. They aren't listening.

FLOOD THEIR ADVERTIZERS WITH LETTERS THREATENING A BOYCOTT, AND
MAKE YOUR CRUSADE PUBLIC. Issue press releases announcing your
boycott, naming the advertisers that support this illegal and
criminal behavior.

WRITE TO THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES IN CHARGE OF THE FCC.
Especially, write to Senator John McCain, who is already ****ed
as hell at Clear Channel about the way they treated the Dixie
Chicks.

Don't bother complaining to the station unless you're a big
advertiser.

If you would please post the name and email address of the
companines adv. on the station I would be glad to write.
ALSO please send the email address of the local papers.

If you help then lets get it on!!!

G105 has actually been at it since Monday of this week. Three days in a
row!! I can't believe Clear Channel would allow this to happen. They
can't say they don't know it's going on - emails have been flooding them
all week, and yet the DJ's are still encouraging people to throw yoohoo
bottles at our heads!!

It's a lot simpler than that. Go to the source: the dj's.

I promise that if I hear a local dj doing this kind of thing, I WILL
find them, I WILL publicize their personal information (address &
family), and I WILL make sure they know about it, and I WILL invite
competing media. I might even get the local Critical Mass (or an ad hoc
equivalent) to pay them a little personal visit. Or fifty.

I ride the roads, and have done so safely for decades. Such tactics are
very close to personal assaults on my safety. So let's keep it personal.

Mitch asks:
Is this referring to separate attacks by DJs at the three stations,
or is it from one taped morning show played at several Clear Channel
stations?

Three different incidents. Cleveland was in June (right,
CrankMailers?), Texas (I think Dallas or Houston) was in August, now
Raleigh NC was last week.

Here are some e-dresses from the CrankMail list.

It is at least two, if not three, different local DJs.

I personally don't think it is a conspiracy - just a corporate-wide
habit of very poor taste and irresponsibility.

It looks like the G105 shenanigans in Raleigh are getting some
publicity. Here's a link to a story about it in the Raleigh News &
Observer:

I just sent a copy of this story to:

Mike Powell, FCC Chairman,
Vince Richards, KLOL program manager,

John Hogan, CEO, Clear Channel Radio,
Mark Mays, COO, Clear Channel Communications,




Lets see what we can do to bring them down, we need all of
the USofA behind us. Lets get stories in the local papers.
I'm going after the LA Times and the Ridgecrest paper now.

Please do contact the parties mentioned at:

http://www.trianglemtb.com/pages/projects/g105.html

If you can, broadcast this information far and wide. It would be great
if they get letters from folks from all over the country.

Good news! A local Ford dealership has pulled it's sponsorship of the
G105 morning show as a result of the broadcast. See:
