Memo: Advertisers Forbid Ads on Air America Affiliates

HeadlineNov 01, 2006

In other news, a media watchdog group has revealed nearly one hundred advertisers have forbid their ads from running on Air America radio programs. The order is made in an internal memo from ABC Radio Networks released by Media Matters for America. In a message to Air America affiliates, the memo lists dozens of companies that insist that: ”NONE of their commercials air during AIR AMERICA programming.” The advertisers include Bank of America, Exxon Mobil, Federal Express, General Electric, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Wal-Mart, and the U.S. Navy.
