(RALLY) SAVE KLSD - SAVE San Diego Progressive Talk Radio!

Dear Fellow Americans for a Vibrant Democracy:

The battle to save KLSD (and to take a stand against the conservative grip on American broadcast media) is building momentum. We have to draw a line in the sand to show the whole country that we will fight to have our voices heard. We will not accept any substitute: NO HD, NO LOW POWERED FM – NOTHING LESS THAN FULL AM DIAL BROADCAST RADIO. Other cities have and will be losing their progressive talk radio stations too!!! Take a stand! Please attend this make or break rally!!!


RALLY DETAILS

Madison, Wisconsin saved their progressive talk station from a Clear Channel flip. Let’s follow Madison ’s lead and save San Diego ’s only progressive talk station, KLSD AM 1360!!!!!! It’s time to RALLY AGAIN!!! THIRD TIME JUST MIGHT BE THE CHARM!!!

We need “ALL HANDS ON DECK” for our Third RALLY (and quite possibly last chance) to save KLSD. If you need to take time off work, please try to do so. We need to show up in massive numbers with at least five times the strength as last time - so bring friends, family, etc. Contact/forward to all your election friends, environmentalists, unions, progressive candidates, you name it.

WHAT: SAVE KLSD/Progressive Talk Radio Rally

WHEN: Friday, October 12, 2007

TIME: 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. (during Stacy Taylor’s show) (yes, we know it’s early, but we get more media attention if we rally during Stacy’s show)

WHERE: Intersection of Aero Drive and Ruffin Road, (the main cross streets near Clear Channel Offices, 9660 Granite Ridge Drive, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92123) At 8:15, we will make the short walk up to Clear Channel’s offices to finish our rally in the Clear Channel parking lot.

ATTIRE: Wear your KLSD T-Shirt if you have one. If you wear your KLSD T-Shirt, tape a sign on your back under the KLSD logo that says “Save KLSD” BRING YOUR SIGNS! Bring noise makers, bring drums!

CAR PROCESSION: Some of your fellow activists plan to meet in the southwest corner of the Walmart parking lot located at 3382 Murphy Canyon Road at 6:30 to form a car caravan up to the rally site. We will put signs on our car and do one or two passes by Clear Channel’s offices honking our horns before dropping passengers off at Aero Drive and Ruffin Road .

but this effects our democracy.

Clear Channel has plans to convert San Diego's only progressive radio station into yet another sports station.
We already have 2 sports stations here in San Diego, (ESPN Radio, and Sporting News Radio), we really don't need a third.

Now I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theoroist, but the new sports station is rumored to be a FOX Sports station.
Apparently, Memphis is in the same boat. They're losing their progressive radio station to FOX Sports.

Now here is the conspiracy that may or may not be happening;
What if FOX Network is approaching Clear Channel, and asking them to convert all their progressive radio stations
into FOX Sports, with Fox News as their News source?

We are not only losing our only progressive station, but we now have to listen the Noise Machine known as Fox News.

Think about it.
