Minor Update regarding Y108 and the pro-life ads

You may remember the short-lived kerfuffle about Y108, a radio station in Niagara Falls that did not want to honour its contract and play pro-life ads, after it received a paltry 7 complaints.

I got this update from the LifeCanada email letter:



Radio station Y108 has re-instated the advertising campaign contracted by the Niagara Region Right to Life. They had pulled the ad campaign after receiving just seven complaints from listeners – six emails and one voice mail. Jakki Jeffs, executive director of Alliance for Life Ontario (AFLO), urged members of the sixty educational pro-life groups across Ontario to contact the station manager and ask her to re-consider. The radio station will now run the pro-life ads. When the radio station called to let the group know they would honor the contract, they asked that AFLO contact their members so they would stop calling the station.



Hm...sounds like we killed a fly with a canon with that one. :D
