Here’s a simple way to find a Nexstar channel near you:
Remember the channel you watched Supernatural on?
Or Riverdale?
Or The Vampire Diaries + the spinoffs?
Or the Arrowverse shows?
That’s the channel.
In australia, we had this piece of shit shockjock radio host move to Melbourne and be awarded a HUYUUUGE pay packet in a brand new contract. This guy is a racist, sexist, misogynist, classist, piece of shiiiiit.
Well a melbourne community launched an an anti-advertising campaign against him. Listened to find out who was advertising during his show. Then called or emailed those companies to say, “Hey, are you aware that your product/service is being advertised on Kyle Sandilands show? Today, he said [heinous thing]. Is that what your company stands for? Is that what you want to be advertising next to?”
Folks—— advertisers left the radio station in DROVES.
We are talking multiple millions of dollars in advertising that was pulled from the radio station. The radio station is in an absolute crisis about it. Theres talk of firing Sandilands and just paying his contract out, because that will be cheaper than how much theyre hemmoraging from list ad revenue.
Targeting the advertisers works. It works fantastically.
I really love this thing that Josh Johnson always does, where he tells you the setup for the joke, then digresses with a long story that provides context, then reminds you of the setup of the joke in a single line and waits for you to tell the punchline to yourself before he says it. It gets the audience (and me) howling with laughter very single time. A very “we’re all in on the joke” style of comedy.
