Contact Your Local Fox Affiliate Regarding O.J. Simpson Interview
This Washington Post article makes it clear that many local Fox stations may be willing to courageously step up and stop this interview from airing:
On Friday, a number of Fox station managers were wondering what to do with the Simpson special.
“I think everybody thought Fox was beyond this, beyond those days of ‘When Animals Attack’ and all that kind of stuff,” said a disgusted general manager of a top 50 Fox station who did not want to be named.
The GM said he would bet that as soon as one big station-owning company rejects the Simpson show, “other owners will follow.”
Among the more creative ways of dealing with a public relations disaster, a Fox station in Seattle has promised that if it airs the interview, it will not sell any local ads. Instead it will help tape public service announcements for local organizations that aid victims of domestic abuse, which will run in place of local ads.
