>  
> On Tuesday afternoon of Feb. 12, most of the staff of radio station KCTC
> ,1320AM, suddenly found themselves unemployed. KCTC had two local radio shows,
> the Morning Retort with Scott and Sims, and an evening show, Enid Live. These
> two shows were wonderful to the Progressive community; they provided financial
> and emotional support and publicized Progressive events in the area.
>  
> In addition, the rest of their programming was Air America and included Thom
> Hartmann, Al Franken, Ring of Fire, and Randi Rhodes. KCTC is the only station
> in the area to carry those programs. Air America is still going strong, but we
> in this area will not hear them. The layoffs were ostensibly about money, but
> this would not be the first time corporations have tried to silence Air
> America. We can‚t let that happen here! Time is of the essence! It is clear
> that the station‚s corporate offices (Entercom, www.entercom.com
> <http://www.entercom.com/> , 610-660-5610) intend to drop Air America and make
> the KCTC a sports channel. Our sources indicate that this will happen as early
> as next week, so please act now. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO STOP THIS ATTACK ON THE
> BEST PROGRESSIVE RADIO THERE IS!
