Poll: Should KOGO Radio Drop the Rush Limbaugh Show?
Local station posts note after controversy regarding remarks about contraception backer.
Rush Limbaugh’s talk show airs daily except Sundays on KOGO AM and FM radio in San Diego—part of a network that reaches as many as 20 million listeners. In the wake of his much maligned Sandra Fluke comments, the station posted this note on its website:
KOGO is committed to providing our listeners with access to a broad range of opinion and commentary without condoning or agreeing with the opinions, comments or attempts at humor expressed by on-air talent. The contraception debate is one that sparks strong emotion and opinions on both sides of the issue. We respect the right of Mr. Limbaugh, as well as the rights of those who disagree with him, to express those opinions.
Please feel free to share your comments with Premiere Networks, who will relay them to the Producers of the show. They can be reached at Publicrelations@premrad.com or 818 461-5750.
