Letter to WMAL, Re: Michael Graham

Mailed to Talk Radio 630 WMAL on Wednesday, August 24th:

Mr. Chris Berry
General Manager
WMAL
4400 Jenifer Street NW
Washington DC 20015

Dear Mr. Berry:

I will be succinct with my point, as you are undoubtedly being inundated with customer feedback over your firing of Michael Graham.

Politics aside, your removal of The Michael Graham Show coincides with my discontinued listening of News Talk 630 WMAL. The only other worthy program that you offer is now available on podcast, rendering your station irrelevant to the Greater DC-area talk radio.

While I remain incredulous that you would allow an organization that advocates suicide bombings to dictate your programming, I am even more bewildered at your business decision to let go your only water-cooler caliber host.

For our part, my family and I will encourage our friends to join us tuning in to Michael Graham when he resurfaces in our area, and turning off WMAL, ABC, and especially Disney.

This letter will be posted to www.atlasblogged.com.

It seems that we will not have long to wait for that resurfacing. According to Michael Graham's website:

Starting this Monday, I'll be on Rightalk.com every weekday at noon for a one-hour edition of a new radio show, Michael Graham, Unleashed! No liberal network execs, no advertisers, not even the FCC. You'll be able to listen live, or the show will be available for podcasting or downloading every hour, on the hour. And that includes INSIDE The beltway, too.

This is especially good news for those of us trying to avoid ABC stations altogether, as they have quite a hold of our DC market. And I can't listen to [shudder] NPR any more.

See here for an email list of WMAL's advertisers.
