HEY COLUMBUS, OHIO!!!!

610 WTVN is taking Glenn Beck off their airwaves! I, for one, am very outraged over this. Here is a snipped post from Glenn from the Glennate Forums.

"Columbus fans I can't tell you how disappointed I am that WTVN is dropping us. We have had trouble with WTVN over the years as the former P.D. was not a fan. Even when we first had numbers higher than Rush, he still wanted to drop us. (I like to say he caught a bit of what Cleveland had). Some people just don't like the show or get it no matter how it does in ratings. We had hoped with the exit of this pd and the show always finishing one or two that things would be different. As you see they are not. The station says that they want to build two strong stations instead of just one and asked to build the second one around us. However, as it was a 1000 watt am station it wasn't the right thing to do for the show, the sponsors or the fans. Unlike many hosts, I will not take just any station in a market to be able to claim we air there. It is only fair to my sponsors that they can trust me when I say we are heard in a market to be on the right station. For us that has always been WTVN. I know how this is going to turn out because we have seen it before. Cleveland is still suffering a 50+% audience loss as are other stations that have tried this. With that being said, I wish WTVN the best and hope that someday we can find the right home in the market and that it once again is WTVN. My greatest disappointment over the years is that we have never been allowed to visit the market for a tour stop. Believe me, when we find a new home .... Columbus will not be just a tour stop. We should make it our winter home. Our fans in Columbus have always been the best. We will get the chance to meet. Until that time arrives we can be heard on line and on XM radio. (without Paul Harvey) Please express your feelings with the station in writing and calls. Tell your friends and your Glennators. Glenn"

Here is the final schedule and locations for our Saturday, January 6th Rally:

This location will be wall to wall with people. The Gallery Hop will be going on that night starting at 5. The Monster Truck Show starts at 7:30. Not only can people see our signs, but we can pass out flyers with information for people to contact WTVN. It'll be crazy busy, but it will make it worth our while.
