"Family" owned Sinclair Communications has refused to drop Rush Limbaugh's show on WNIS in Norfolk, Virginia. They also own radio networks in Santa Rosa, California and Austin, Texas.
Here is my response to their refusal:

Dear Ms. Lisa Sinclair & other Sinclair staff:
I read on Pilotonline, the article dated 3/6/12, that WNIS will not drop the Rush Limbaugh show. Now, I haven’t been a listener and will not start now. However, I have been a loyal listener of Bob Fm, especially Eric Worden’s morning show, also owned by the same company as WNIS, Sinclair Communications.
The sickening words said by Limbaugh were about a woman who was, quoting a Washington Post article by Gene Weingarten:
“She said nothing whatsoever about her own sex life. She did not mention her own contraceptive needs at all: She spoke passionately and eloquently, and respectfully, about several friends of hers, Georgetown students who she said were diagnosed with medical conditions requiring the birth control pill, but who could not get it because they could not afford it. That was it.”
Limbaugh’s words were so awful and their impact is so negative that I will not be able to listen to ANY of your stations. As soon as I send this email, I will reset my radio, deleting BobFM as well as 96X.
You have decided not to drop Rush, so I will drop you.
Sincerely,
(VA Breeze)
