This was posted by a co-owner of a Solon bike shop. I doubt she would put her reputation and that of her business at risk by lying about what was said on the air, esp. given that it could be proved by the FCC-required log tapes. Come to think of it, when you go back and read the reply letter from the station, they try to brush everything under the rug as "misinterpretation". If the DJs _didn't_ say the things the store owner claims they did, the station representatives could easily have responded by saying "Our DJs didn't say that, or anything like that, and our log tapes can prove it." Hmm, wonder why they didn't.--------------------- Paul T.
