News Magazine Story on MAC Entercom Victory

published July 18, 2018 in Popula

By Rick Paulas

Synopsis:
     A veteran of journalism, with two decades working in broadcast TV and radio in the LA and Sacramento markets—during which she won two Emmy awards, one for a feature series on government waste—Wilson had kept an eye on the slow creep of wavelength monopolization since President Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Previously, no single commercial owner could lay claim to more than 20 AM and 20 FM frequencies, but after the legislation was signed, those national caps were removed, leading to a predictable corporate fight for the largest portion of the pie.
.
     Bandwidth limitations meant that there was value on the broadcast spectrum that couldn’t compare to what was increasingly available online, in print, or even on cable. On those mediums, anyone with enough startup capital could conjure their own outlet and thus expand the total pie. But in broadcast radio and TV, what’s available is what’s available, and that’s that.
.
     To Wilson, the train derailment outside Minot was a perfect example of what might happen when the airwaves are consumed by neglectful landlords. This story would feature prominently in her documentary on the subject, Broadcast Blues, released in 2009. But it was another, more infamous radio mishap in her own backyard that would land Wilson a conclusive victory against corporate monopolization of the public airwaves.

MAC Wins 13.5 Million Dollar Victory Over Entercom!

Sue from Fiddletown took a stand in the public interest

By Dan Morain
dmorain@sacbee.com

From her home outside the no-stoplight settlement of Fiddletown, Sue Wilson tilted at a corporate windmill, and a funny thing happened.

Sue from Fiddletown won, on our behalf. You can hear the sound of that victory at the end of the FM radio dial in Sacramento. Where there once was commercial pop music, hooting deejays and stupid radio stunts, there’s static.
“We the People own the air waves,” she said, and repeats: “We the People.”

____________________________________________
How KDND neglected the Public Interest in this case:
.

1. KDND Staff knew they were conducting a contest which could kill someone. Prior to the contest, they made fun of the water intoxication death of Matthew Carrington on the air, they had their "gag guy" drink a large amount of water as part of their show and laughed as the very large man became light headed and ill. But never informed the contestants of any danger.

2. Many listeners called into the KDND to warn staff that the contest was deadly. Some calls made it on the air so Morning Rave Hosts could make fun of them. Most calls went to management which ignored them. Contestants were cordoned off in the Entercom Sacramento kitchen and were not allowed to hear any of the calls.

3. A Release Form outlining the rules and risks of the contest was drafted, but never given to the contestants. Station manager Steve Weed testified at trial he’d never considered giving rules which actually spelled out hazards of the contest — to the contestants. Instead, a generic release (deemed by the judge to be no release at all) was signed by Jennifer Strange and the other contestants.

4. The original rules (never given to the contestants) stated contestants were to drink 8 ounces of water every fifteen minutes (which is considered safe.) KDND staff and management changed the rules in the middle of the contest to make contestants drink 16.9 ounces of water every 15 minutes, which is considered deadly.

5. People were getting sick, only to have KDND staff post photos of them vomiting onto its Facebook page.

6. Unwritten Entercom rules said a medical professional should be present during such a contest. None was.

7. After the contest, Jennifer Strange told the Morning Rave staff she was too ill to drive home, but they abandoned her to the station's lobby. She finally did drive home, and died there some time later.

8. When Jennifer's co-worker called the station to inform them of Jennifer's death and asked they call the other contestants to warn them to seek medical advice, General Manager John Geary, upon getting advice from Entercom's Corporate office in Massachusetts, told his station manager not to call contestants, but to call lawyers instead.
.
Was KDND serving the public interest? Clearly not.

PRESS CONFERENCE - 1:35 pm Weds. Feb. 8, 2017

Radio Frequency 107.9 FM Goes Silent

Local Media Watchdog Explains the REAL Reason Why

Listen to radio frequency 107.9 starting Wednesday (Feb. 8) and all you will hear is the sound of silence.

Entercom Sacramento surrendered its license because of a ten year effort by local Emmy winning radio and TV producer turned media watchdog Sue Wilson and the Media Action Center to deny Entercom's privilege to broadcast for completely ignoring the public interest obligation of a broadcaster.

Wilson and her attorney Michael Couzens will explain what really happened, why it has taken this long, and its importance to both the community of Sacramento and radio industry at a press conference 1:35 PM Wednesday in the Gold Run Room at Coloma Community Center, 4623 T Street in Sacramento.

VICTORY!!! Entercom Relinquishes KDND License

ENTERCOM FILES TO RELINQUISH SACRAMENTO KDND LICENSE

Public Interest Victory Cites CBS RADIO Merger Issues, Not Petition to Deny Trial

February 3, 2017 - Entercom today filed with the FCC to relinquish the broadcast license of KDND, saying that because of its pending merger with CBS Radio, the radio giant would need to spin off four stations in the Sacramento market to meet with FCC ownership guidelines. The corporation made no mention of Media Action Center's pending legal case at the FCC to deny the renewal of that license based on the 2007 killing of Jennifer Strange in a water drinking stunt which defiantly disregarded danger to Mrs. Strange and to other contestants. The normal way to achieve ownership compliance is by selling, or promising to sell stations. Only the continuing hearing can explain the outright relinquishment of a license.

Says MAC Director Sue Wilson, "This is a huge victory for the Public Interest, and I am grateful that due to the loss of this key station, FCC compliance issues will be on the minds of this and every broadcaster moving forward. But to conclude that Entercom is the good guy here ignores the fact that rather than surrendering their license upon the FCC Hearing Designation Order, they have instead litigated this issue with a huge team of expensive attorneys. Only now that the FCC must approve the company's pending merger with CBS Radio is this mega corporation doing the "right thing."

"However, the Judge has not ruled on MAC's proposed enlargement of issues, including character, reporting, and cluster wide misconduct. These issues may reflect not only on KDND, but on Entercom Sacramento's cluster of licenses, and indeed on all of Entercom's licenses. We await the judge's decision."

ACTION: Demand FCC Enforce the Hoax Rule on Alex Jones' Radio Show

Letter to send to the FCC here.

Was the Sandy Hook School shooting faked by advocates of gun control? Were the people we saw crying over slain children actually actors? Were the kids themselves actors?

Of course not. But Alex Jones has said this so many times on his broadcast radio program that some listeners who believed this hoax began attacking the grieving parents, in some cases forcing them to move miles away from their homes (and chidrens' gravesites.)

Let's work together to put an end to this Fake News.

The Federal Communications Commission has a rule against broadcast stations airing hoaxes unless they tell listeners in advance the show is fiction. But they will only act if persons living in Jones' listening areas send a complaint letter (not an email) to the FCC.

Find out if you live in an area where Jones broadcasts by looking at the list at https://www.mediaactioncenter.net/2018/09/us-radio-stations-airing-alex-jones.html . Find a station in your general area, then click on "Coverage area" to see if you are inside the circle.

Next, download the letter which meets the FCC guidelines for such complaints. It outlines specifically what Jones has said on the radio regarding the Sandy Hook shooting hoax and other dangerous hoaxes. Just print it out and fill in the necessary information. You will need to include your local station's call letters and Community of License, found in the list of Jones' stations on the left of this message.

Please send the letter to the FCC (its mailing address is on the letter.) And please send a copy to the licensee of the station (that information is also on the Jones' stations list at the left of this message.) Also please email act@mediaactioncenter.net to let Media Action Center know you have sent a letter so we can monitor what happens, and potentially file license challenges if the FCC and stations refuse to act.

It is a lot to ask people to send snail mail letters, but while big corporations get to email their information to the FCC, the agency requires We the People to mail a letter with a stamp. This is the only way we can get media justice.

Again, here is the address for the letter:

Educate Advertisers

StopRush.net and the Facebook group "Join the Fight to Flush Rush Limbaugh" have taken away

THOUSANDS of sponsors of Limbaugh's show nationwide.

This is not a boycott, but rather an educational campaign. Most advertisers bought ads for a group of six or seven radio stations in the same community, and were not aware their businesses were being advertised on Limbaugh's program. When StopRush politely educated them about what Rush was saying prior to their ads, most did not want their product affiliated with Limbaugh's comments and chose to stop advertising.

Join them, and/or copy their model take away sponsors of hate and lies in your own hometown!
