The Stress Factor has been canceled indefinitely![views:15604][posts:71]_________________________________ [Aug 15,2008 1:02pm - Foghorn ""] So I'm starting to feel like this is a hoax. I learned this morning that the person I found this out from received a phone call from "the FCC." So, technically it could have been anyone. Also, my general manager knows nothing. You'd figure that they'd send me a letter before they called my show. I guess we'll have to wait and find out. I'd like to think it's a hoax, but when someone tells you that you're being investigated, you tend to take it seriously. Thanks for all the support everyone, btw! It means alot. If I don't hear anything be my next show I might be interested in stopping by their office to see if someone filed a complaint. That is odd that they don't have a phone number listed. |

That is odd that they don't have a phone number listed. yeah, it is odd. I tried google-ing it with the address, i tried www.whitepages.com , i tried 411, and still i couldnt find a number. I found a website devoted to listing the numbers of FCC agents that have harrassed various radio shows/broadcasters, and that website only had the address for the quincy office listed and no number. But seriously dude, i am not sure where your from, but i take this as an attack on MY rights. And if you can't find out exactely whats up with it, it will only take me 10min to get there. I am not sure what they will tell me there, but I would imagine that complaints filed would be public. If they werent public, then they could at least tell me what YOU would have to do to verify the validity of the complaint. Which obviously there HAS to be a way to do, otherwise people could pull this shit everywhere, and anyone with the balls to speak their mind on the air would be pulled from the rotation. |

But my GM tells me my show isn't being investigated. Quite a relief. Someone is laughing somewhere. I'm not. But, my show will air next week. Sorry for the bullshit. At least it took less than a day to figure it out. And I know that if it does ever happen the FCC will encounter a healthy ammount of protest! |

| __________________________________ [Aug 15,2008 5:12pm - brian_dc ""] you should change the thread title to: "The Stress Factor has been canceled indefinitely!...just kidding!!!" |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 15,2008 5:43pm - ouchdrummer ""] Good to hear man, Hail Satan. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 15,2008 6:15pm - MASlayer ""] make damn sure you keep it a tad tame for the next couple of weeks...because of your fear and interest in seeing if you were being investigated, you just might be short term. Keep this institution alive!! Hopefully I can come down and do an all thrash show again sometime soon!! |
| _________________________________ [Aug 15,2008 7:14pm - Foghorn ""] Hell yea! That would be fun. Btw, Pessimist told me to say hi to you. So, next week's show is going to be sick, just to make up for wasted time. There are so many cd's I got from Deathfest that I have to play. But I'll keep it on the tamer side for a bit, good call. This has been fun, but I'd like for it not to ever happen again; real or fake. Hail Satan indeed! |
