Advertisers Fleeing in Droves from Air America
Far lefty Media Matters is complaining about an ABC memo that shows top advertisers bailing out left and right from the failing Air America radio network.
An internal ABC Radio Networks memo obtained by Media Matters for America, originally from a listener to The Peter B. Collins Show, indicates that nearly 100 ABC advertisers insist that their commercials be blacked out on Air America Radio affiliates. According to the memo, the adverstisers [sic] insist that “NONE of their commercials air during AIR AMERICA programming.” Among the advertisers listed are Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, General Electric, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and the U.S. Navy.
Corporate America developing a backbone? About time!
