Some Advertisers Angered by Opie & Anthony Suspension

SOME ADVERTISERS ANGERED BY OPIE & ANTHONY SUSPENSION
[SOURCE: MediaWeek, AUTHOR: Kevin Carter and Mike Boyle]
Pro-Opie & Anthony support is coming from a very unusual place: their advertisers. A couple of clients are actually dropping their advertising on XM Satellite Radio because XM Satellite Radio suspended the duo. "It is apparent that XM Radio is beholden to crybaby special interest groups who cannot separate humor from reality," wrote Lou Galli, general manager for Nashville Coffee, on the company’s Web site. Not only is the company pulling its ads, but it also contacted other sponsors and encouraged them to do the same.
