Hey Buddies,
I just wanted to clear up a few things about our "Bring Ron and Fez Back To NY" campaign.
First of all, it's NOT over. Although this forum appears to be dead there are many fans, including "The Capos," who have not given up. There are also many listeners that don't post on the board that contact me on a daily basis, asking how they can help.
The goal here is simple: We want to let Infinity Broadcasting know that we want R&F back on the air in New York City. It may not be feasible at this time but we must try to regain the momentum we had back in the fall. We had press, we flooded Infinity with letters and postcards and rang their phones off the hook. If we want R&F back in NYC we must regroup and start it again.
This is NOT about "Blink," it never was. The loyal diehards who protested at the launch party wanted to get the attention of Viacom/Infinity "Suits" who were in attendance that evening. Kudos to those who stood outside and made their voices heard.
Before you dismiss all of this and say "it's over" just remember: corporations like Viacom DO pay attention to what you, the consumer is saying. One letter or call DOES make a difference.
Nothing in radio programming is ever written in stone. Our efforts to bring R&F back to NYC is a long term goal. Yes, it's true that Infinity really has nowhere to put the show, except for the longshot possibility of K-Rock. We are talking "future considerations" here, and we must NOT GIVE UP!
If you are truly interested in helping out, please feel free to e-mail me and I will add your e-mail address to the "Capos" list. Send your e-mail address to BringBackRnF@aol.com. We are not giving up.
Regards to all, and thanks,
Heck
