LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – The radio executives who approved sending stern letters threatening lawsuits to a handful of listeners in Lincoln, Neb., say they did so to protect their business.
A few of the listeners unhappy with the new morning show on Three Eagles Communications’ The Blaze station in Lincoln had organized a boycott of the show and contacted advertisers.
The top two executives at Three Eagles Communications, Rolland Johnson and Gary Buchanan, told The Associated Press that some of the unhappy listeners were harassing the station’s advertisers by flooding their inboxes with email.
Johnson and Buchanan say they had the company’s lawyers send letters to three people about a month after the morning show change. They say most listeners have been happy with the switch.
