Reply #93: Go After The Public Inspection Files...

[KharmaTrain]

I won't comment on the content as one can argue freedom of speech...no matter how inflamatory. I've heard a lot of this over-the-top bullshit on hate radio as of late.

Two ways to let the station and the FCC know your displeasure:

First is to arrange boycotts and complaints at LOCAL station advertisers. Car Dealers, Food Stores...the more local and visible the better. Nothing will get a station manager's attention than a pissed off advertiser.

The other way to really create hassles for a hate station is to simply send a complaint letter...snail mail, registered (so you have verification that the letter arrived at the station)...then two weeks later, go and visit the station and ask to see the "Public Inspection File". The station can't hem and haw...they must show you that file and if you don't find your letter (remember, you have the receipt that proves you sent it and they recieved it) you can go to the FCC with a complaint that can cost the station upwards of $10k for each violation.

Right now several New York stations are facing some big problems cause their files weren't up-to-date:
