Rep Power: 0 Tracie Williams is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, well, well, it just wasn't locally then.................. We had a local station run that same story as a part of their health watch segment. Here is the kicker........... I advertise with that station. Needless to say I was furious. I sent them a letter of, well, let's just say it showed how unappreciative I was of that segment. The story had no substance.......... I accused them of using it as a "filler" for lack of a better story. It ran 20 seconds but we felt the effects of it. We had two young ladies the day after come into one of the resorts and tell us that their mothers saw the story and wants them to cancel their membership.

I met with my sales rep, the local sales manager and the General Sales Manager of that station last Friday. They apologized and tried to explain to me that that sales dept did not have any input on what is news worthy to the news dept. That may be so but it doesn't fly with me. If the sales dept is hustling trying to pull in revenue for the station and that, I'm sure pays their salary, someone should have some say so on what is aired based on their sponsors. At the very least they should have gotten our take on the subject. So, now I have a meeting with the news director to see if we can work this out because at this point all advertising talks with this station is on hold. I have pretty much established my own "little" mission to battle the media bashing on indoor tanning on a local level. I realize they can not support my comments but at least allow me to try and educate our community. Don't shut us down without giving us a voice.
