A STATION MANAGER ON NEAL BOORTZ

I found this on Memeorandum.

(excerpts)

Scott Stevens knew Neal Boortz was a “hate monger.” But he had only received a single, generic complaint about Boortz’s remarks regarding the shootings at Virginia Tech. Now, Stevens says WFNR AM 710 in Pulaski will strongly consider pulling Boortz, a nationally syndicated talk show host, from their 10 a.m.-12 p.m. time slot after being made aware of the severity of Boortz’s remarks by a letter from Virginia delegates.

For Stevens, dealing with Boortz up to this point has constituted a decidedly sticky situation.
“I deeply regret that I did not know the content (of Boortz’s remarks). I think it’s outrageous. His show is always like that. He is a hate-monger but I will tell you that he has had, traditionally, a following in this radio market. There were a couple of times when his radio show wasn’t on because of technical reasons and I was inundated with complaint calls, more so than with complaints about his remarks,” Stevens said.
