wonder if college radio stations would run him

This is exactly what I'm wondering. Considering contacting my alum, but I'm not even sure where they land on the dial.

Wonder if an NPR/Public access station would run him?

Blitz Strategy

1. Someone find and post the email addresses of ALL stations
2. Since our individual email does not show our location, someone thousands of miles away could solicit ANY and ALL stations.
3. If many of us started bulk emailing (all but one address in the "Bcc" section so as not to reveal the "bulk" strategy), each station could receive hundreds, maybe thousands of requests via "Click & Paste".
4. Imagine those "Holy Shit" moments across the country when those station managers report to work one morning and find their email FLOODED !! :

So have there been any hints this satellite gizmo feed has gained any new terrestrial MITD affiliates? Really hoping a local station picks up the show, but no rumors here abouts of that happening.

Art listed a few new affiliates joining the other night. Some were coming aboard on Oct 1 (I think) and pretty sure one was coming aboard Dec 1. Not sure what night it was -- but he referred to "footsteps" coming for Dave. I'd imagine those are thanks to the satellite deal.

Not strategy but just curious if any of Art's terrestrial affiliates so far dumped C2C for Midnight?

Thanks! Was just curious, been politely bugging my local C2C AM station, WCBM 680, but I don't think it'll do much good. Seem very terse in all their responses.

Just look up your station on Wikipedia...if they are owned by IHeart, then do not waste your time. If they are an independent station, you have a shot to get the show changed.

The KXL ratings book will be very important. Hard numbers might make things very uncomfortable
