If I ever was made aware, it slipped my mind.

Thought it would be a public service to post the following email from Joe in response to my email.

My email:




Pag's response:




I followed with:





His original source of anger was when I emailed him, shortly after his start, asking why (once again) WOAI didn't hire a local, Hispanic host for the PM drive show. He accused me of racism and every other typical insult he's known for.


On a sidenote, why did Koch get fired from KTSA?

Just curious why the host has to be hispanic?

[angel_luv]

yes.. I ignore people like you.. because there are no points to a conversation that's grounded in baseless insults. You never gave me a chance. Good thing you're alone. Got the ratings today. They went up again!!!

Yahoo!

bye bye

is that an official endorsement?

My reply:

No points to a conversation that's grounded in baseless insults? What??

I asked why WOAI doesn't have a liberal voice during the weekday. I then mentioned our original conversation regarding a Hispanic host for the PM show, citing Jeanne Jakle's column in the SA Express News where someone else asked the sam question. You can call him a bigot too if you like.

I would like to correct one thing: I don't doubt your claim that no one tells you what to say on your program. My first email didn't phrase that properly. Too many negatives in one sentence. But that comment spurred my question to the programming on WOAI, which you listed yesterday.

Oh, to clarify, our conversation took place last October. Not "years" ago. Of course, back then you said it took me five days to respond to your email when it was only a weekend. Perhaps you have me confused with another of your 'fans'. Congrats on the ratings - must be difficult to compete against sports talk and FM radio.

And since when do ratings matter for Clear Channel employment?

Just curious why the host has to be hispanic?

It's been a long going question. San Antonio is mostly Hispanic, so why not a Hispanic voice on radio? It happens on TV all the time. WOAI PM drive show is the biggest show, yet they haven't had a Hispanic voice in a town where they have their HQs.

Jakle's article cited it as well:

"P.S. While we're on KTSA's hunt, e-mailer Max De La Cruz wonders why “talk radio here seems to be an Anglos-only playground” — even though the majority of the S.A. population is Hispanic.
He said the point is particularly relevant considering the more diverse nature of this year's presidential election."

The Thompson Brothers are on the Zone 1250 AM between 3-5 pm daily.

Are they still doing the "What's in Rob's pocket" skit?

I've only caught them once or twice since they moved to 1250.

I loved their show at the 5pm slot.
