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
-- From: Nofoxoj@cs.com Date:Sun, 19 Nov 2006 13:33:07 EST 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
