Asking sponsors to boycott Radio Alice 97.3

  • by: Kara V
  • recipient: Sumner M. Redstone, Chairman of the Board..CBS, Radio Alice 97.3
On June 6, 2006 RadioAlice 97.3 a CBS Radio station choose to go too far in there poor attempt to get a laugh. They started a topic regarding stillborn babies and parents who take pictures of there children. They began to give there views but then went overboard by saying these parents are 'sick', 'disturbed', "disgusting" they even said 'we should go to a taxidermist and have our children stuffed". This is horrific. People need to be held liable for intentionally causing pain on another. I am a loss mom. I have enough  pain every day I hear a baby cry, everyday I see a pregnant woman, everyday someone asks how many children I have, everyday I go by a park and see all the kids playing etc etc. These are stabs in my heart I dont need a no talent , want to be radio personality to mock my real pain. I do have pictures of my children because that was the first and the last time I would ever see them again. I don't want to ever forget there beautiful faces, there tiny hands, there perfect feet this is all I have. Why should that make me open for ridicule? .I am asking for all the sponsors of the RAdioAlice show and all of us to make our voices heard. To let it be known this is not ok. Another persons pain is no joking matter especially when it involves a Mother or a Father who lost there baby. Please sign this petition. I will be sending this to the Chairman of the Board for CBS RAdio and all the sponsors of RadioAlice. (J Vineyards and Winery, California Pacific Medical Center, Sutter Health, ATT, COMCAST digital Cable, USA Network, Linens and Things, Casio,Amazon.com, Red Lobster, IPOd Nano,)

Here is the letter I have since sent to RadioAlice, The FCC and The main sponsors of the show..I have also copied several newspapers in the area .

Mr Corr, CBS affiliates,FCC, sponsors of Alice show etc
It has come to my attention that Alice radio 97.3 a subsidiary of CBS radio has gone below 'tasteless" on their June 6th broadcast. For someone to even find the humor in another persons pain is unbelievable none the less the loss of a child. What a disgrace. I am a mother who lost two sets of twins back to back two years in a row.. This kind of pain is indescribable and to have a radio host mock a photo I may have for a laugh is just plain cruel. I pray your host nor anyone with whom you know never has to feel the kind of pain I feel everyday. For me to have a photo of my stillborn child is to 'remember'- this is the only thing I will have to keep their spirts alive. To go through a pregnancy with all the anticipation, the planning, the dreams and to have them all shatttered in a second is something you relive every day. We as parents already feel responsible for our bodies not being able to protect our children. We go through event through event over and over in our heads wondering if something could have changed the end result. We don't need an outsider to then add salt to our wounds . Would you allow an employee to mock a 2 year old who died...?? Come on ..I like to joke around but draw the line.
I hope a public written apology by the ones who started this is made (not a letter from someone not directly the cause just placed on a website to quiet us up)
Please remember my children were alive...I felt there every movement, I felt them kick, I felt the hiccups, my husband placed his hand on my stomach and felt the same, we talked to them, we had dreams for them ,.to then mock due to them not taking a breathe is horrific. I go weekly to their gravesite for a stone is all I now see when I want to be with them..Shame on you and all the others who allow this ..
Thank you for your time.
Mommy to four angels..All loved, All missed and All photographed.
PS..I hope whoever reads this..gives their kids a big kiss before bed tonight and be grateful of what they have and each smile their child gives is a reminder of the pain that was caused to another human ,,Way to go I hope you are proud of yourselves.
I have since copied CBS radio I hope you are all so very proud of your sister company and if you have a heart will step up to the plate and do something..Now I see why Stern himself left CBS at least he knows humor without deliberlately causing pain ..he himself wouldn't go this far. !!
And to those sponsors of this radio station maybe you should look deeper into the kind of programming you are supporting if you are giving money to a company that mocks the death of a child then you are no better than them !!!
