More GOOP Dirty Tricks In Sacramento???
I found this on a radio website...thought I'd share it with the class...

Did CLEAR CHANNEL Talk KFBK-A/SACRAMENTO send out a political
commercial as an EAS test? Noncommercial KDVS/DAVIS, CA is complaining
that KFBK sent out its required monthly EAS test MONDAY at 10:02a PT
but failed to stop the test at its normal conclusion and instead
forced stations receiving the activation to air a commercial for
Republican U.S. Senate candidate DICK MOUNTJOY.

KFBK Station Manager JEFF HOLDEN told the SACRAMENTO BEE that the
problem was "operator error" and said that the signal that ends the
test "didn't fire properly." Stations in 17 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
counties aired the EAS test, although HOLDEN said that there's no way
to know how many aired the spot as well, assuming that some stations
have people monitoring the test and may have cut it off as soon as it
was clear that a mistake was made.

KDVS GM EDWARD MARTINET told the BEE that he is skeptical of KFBK's
explanation, charging that "it would have to be some amazingly
egregious negligence to not notice it for two minutes."
