In reply to the discussion: This DUer is running for NM State Senate [View all]certainot
(9,090 posts)the station even playing recruiting ads during the limbaugh show, for eg, like any dem in the state who gets local GOP attention
suggestion: make an issue of it. UNM has no excuse, like the 86 other universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations.
if you want to get media attention, criticize UNM for supporting global warming, the NRA, trump, racism, etc. if other dems do that in other states, getting those students/communities to join in, it will have a national effect
i spoke with one of the UNM regents, a dem, and he said what they would all say - to make an issue of it would raise too much rukus. good.
in Sept the loudest radio station in Denver demoted limbaugh to a smaller brother station while no one will admit at this point it may be the result of low level activism around the CU community that i know has been ramping up the last decade. like many of those 260 limbaugh stations, they wouldn't want to have to make a choice between keeping limbaugh and trump/GOP and losing the school sports broadcasts that bring them community cred and ad dollars.
770 KKOB is a major political force in NM and if you make waves the state GOP will use it to attack you and may even get your opponent on their station for a softball supportive 'interview' etc. your supporters can record and transcribe those attacks and lies/distortions/exaggerations and you can use them in ads and debates, for instance.
