KPRC pulls Rather as well; anti-Rather campaign begins
In addition to Sinclair's WNIS-AM Norfolk pulling CBS News altogether, CC Radio's CBS Radio affiliate KPRC-AM Houston hasn't been running Dan Rather's daily commentaries for the last couple weeks in reaction to his "60 Minutes" report questioning President Bush's National Guard service.
"I felt no anchor ... should ever be the story or bigger than the story," Ken Charles, program director of the news-talk station, told the AP. "I thought it was appropriate to take him off the air. For right now, I'm not convinced there's any reason to put him back on the radio station."
Meanwhile, NJ businessman Doug Forrester unveiled an ad campaign pressing CBS to oust Rather. Forrester, a GOP Senate candidate who lost to Frank Lautenberg in 2002, started running ads yesterday on radio, TV and the Internet. They've been submitted to air on Philadelphia and New York stations and on the major networks as well as cable nets. Surprisingly, CBS sister Infinity ran some of the ads in both markets.
