3465 What you never knew about bad breath

John Corby (WTVN 610 am Columbus, OH) was interviewing Dr. Katz about bad breath today. He even has a product for your cat and dog. Tonsils seem to be the culprit for some, sinus for others. He said don't brush your tongue with toothpaste because it has detergent in it and will cause dry mouth, making bad breath worse. One little item: apparently super models have really gross breath because they don't eat enough to make their digestion work properly.

Speaking of WTVN, you might remember that about 6 weeks ago I was really peeved with them for taking off Glenn Beck and messin' with me. Well, they eventually reinstated him to an FM station in Westerville on a one hour delay. But before I found him again (about 2 weeks) I started listening to WLW's morning guy, Mike McConnell, and I liked his style and the people he interviews. He's really pounding the global warming fear mongers. So now I don't listen to WTVN or Glenn.

3321 WTVN drops Glenn Beck

And they hear from me. (I've yet to find that writing a letter does any good, but I do it anyway.)

Dear Sir,

When I heard last week that you were dropping Glenn Beck for a locally produced talk segment, I couldn’t believe my ears. I immediately started switching to 700 am in Cincinnati just to see what was available nearby. And although it is irritating to hear all the commercials and announcements for events or companies I’ll never patronize, it will be better than listening to more hours like the Saturday morning guys who call Bob Connors to whine about the Buckeyes or pot holes .

My husband and I were furious when you dropped Dr. Laura in the fall of 2001, apparently for her opposition to gays adopting infants, because nothing else she was saying was politically charged--unless it was urging people to be faithful to their spouses. I suppose that might have offended some of your staff. When I called the station to complain, I got no response except “We’ll pass your comment along.”

It took awhile to get accustomed to Beck‘s style, but I do listen about 3 out of 5 days, depending on what my schedule is, and always in the car during drive time. I’m tired of being jerked around for whatever your program director’s personal biases are. I appreciate good business methods, and Beck was #1 in this market. Hello! Get smart this time. You’ve got a winner on radio!

You’ve lost this listener, not just for this time slot, but for others like Connors and Corby. I can get great talk shows from California on the Internet. I’m not going to take a chance on being part of your audience in this time slot again.
