I just came back from a trip and when I turned on 940am I found imus on. Is Ken Charles out of his mind? I called him to complain as many other people did. I hope he will reconsider. I love your show!!! You kept us informed of local politics which is essential to know. Why imus? a republican, racist weirdo?<BR/>I hope you keep your voice local, loud and clear. We need you!!!!<BR/>We need honest people willing to tell us what's going on.<BR/>Thank your for being in this world. I want to hear your voice.Earthlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505497955781241480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728001.post-58108170176971800032008-08-28T08:26:00.000-04:002008-08-28T08:26:00.000-04:00Great to have you back on the e-waves.

Here's a note I wrote to the Herald with a copy to Ken Charles:<BR/><BR/>Dear Editor,<BR/> Your curt reporting of Nicole Sandler's ouster from WINZ is a slap in the face to the many, many loyal fans of her show. Nicole was a breath of fresh air in the toxic environment that has become the media. Nicole told the truth. She delved into local political issues, especially education, and revealed the hypocrisy of Florida's two-tiered economy. She spoke about how the unbalanced Florida legislature had an agenda that would ultimately destroy Its public education. Nicole was prescient in her assessment. Your own columnist Fred Grimm recently made the same observation.<BR/> <BR/>The fact that Nicole's show had low ratings isn't a reflection on Nicole, but on South Florida listeners who settle for mindless music, stupid chatter, and the fear and hate propaganda spewed by Right Wing talk radio. Nicole offered a progressive view, one that was honest and insightful and one that her listeners will surely miss. <BR/> <BR/>The station used guerilla tactics in replacing Nicole with Imus. There was no announcement made; it was as though she and her show never existed. One day her photo and blog were on the web site, the next day she wasn't. I for one am boycotting WINZ. I hope Nicole's other listeners will do the same thing.dr.sorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336474581909992926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13728001.post-78969300237586533952008-08-27T22:52:00.000-04:002008-08-27T22:52:00.000-04:00Monday morning, the Nicole Sandler show on 940 WIN...Monday morning, the Nicole Sandler show on 940 WINZ, the only locally programmed Progressive Radio Outlet in South Florida, was silenced. It was replaced by the syndicated Don, the BOZO, Imus show. Emails of protest to Ken Charles, the local Director of AM Programming for the radio monster, Clear Channel, resulted in the predictable drivel that it was an economic decision. What was silenced was the only radio vehicle for Progressive Candidates to reach the voters during this critical political season. Clear Channel maintains multiple Right Wing /Republican outlets. As an operator of the public airwaves, it is Clear Channels responsibility to function in the best interest of the community which may not be necessarily in their best financial interests. They must restore a path for local Progressive Candidates to reach the community. The most straight forward way is to bring back Nicole's program. If not, it is time to challenge their rights to their public channels.<BR/> <BR/>Robert Auer<BR/>Key LargoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
