Thread Name: BS: Boycott advertisers, FOX TV & O.J.
Subject: RE: BS: Boycott advertisers, FOX TV & O.J.
Within just a day of the boycott idea spreading on the internet, a number of local FOX stations have decided not to air OJ and google news has posted this: FORBES, 2 Hours ago, "Several Fox affiliates have chosen not to broadcast "If I Did It," the two-part special where OJ Simpson talks in hypothetical terms about his role in the 1994 killing ..."

I got this email back from the person who started the campaign to contact local FOX stations and ask who the local advertisers are.
Not so much a waste of time to start a boycott, I say. - Alice

Go on to the fox web site and look under fox links. It will give you a US map. Pick your state and station. It will have their phone
numbers - address-and web site. Do not let them tell you "well we have to air the show because we are under contract". I have
worked at 2 television stations and they can preempt when they want to. Tell them ALL of the advertisers on the station not just the
ones on the show will be put on a national Christmas boycott list. Most of the stations that have been called have decided not to air
the interview. Send me their name, city and state when you find out If they will air the show. I will make sure they are posted on the
web sites. I will also send you a list of advertisers from the stations the decide to air the interview after the 29th. These are the ones
we want to boycott.
See the list below
Will air the OJ interview
Jacksonville, Fl. - WAWS
Augusta, Ga. - WFXG
Minneapolis MN - KMSP

WILL NOT air the OJ interview
Springfield MO - KSFX
Binghamton NY - WICZ
Spokane Washington - KAYU
Green Bay WI - WLUK
Tallahassee / Midway Fl - WTLH
