UNC Chapel Hill Tells Radio Station to Stop Mentioning Its Sports Program During Limbaugh’s Show

UNC Chapel Hill Bars Radio Station From Mentioning Its Sports Program During Limbaughs Show

AP

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has asked a local radio station known as “Rush Radio” to stop mentioning both the school and its Tar Heels sports program during the broadcast of Rush Limbaugh’s talk show, the North Carolina News and Observer reported.

The university has similarly asked for no references to Limbaugh’s show during broadcasts of its football and basketball games on the station, WRDU 106.1.

The school’s actions, announced last week, are a direct response to Limbaugh calling Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute” after she testified in favor of insurance coverage of contraceptives. Local residents petitioned the school to sever ties with the station over the controversy, according to WCHL 1360.

In a statement, UNC said it was “unfortunately and awkwardly connected” to Limbaugh by having its games broadcast on the same station that airs his show.

“Limbaugh recently made rude, inappropriate and offensive statements,” the statement said. “That connection spurred many people to email us and prompted a petition campaign, both with the goal of urging us to drop our broadcasts from the station.”

It continued, “We have asked – and the local station has agreed – to end the practice of referencing the Tar Heel Sports Network or the University’s name while promoting the Limbaugh program and vice versa.”

UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp told the student radio news magazine Carolina Connection that “a lot of our faculty and some other folks outside of the University were upset to find out that we were connected with ‘Rush Radio.’”

“We do understand why people were upset,” Thorp said. “I think that was a good compromise.”

Rush/Haniity/Beck/Levin (and now I’ve heard FAKE-TEA GOPer Dana Loesch) have done EVERYTHING THEY CAN to black-out, ridicule, marginalize, cherry-pick “polls,” mangle delegate totals, ridiculing AND SCREEN OUT supporters, laugh at and lie about Ron Paul – the man WHO REPRESENTS EVERYTHING THEY CLAIM TO FIGHT FOR! This is not only a form of censorship, it’s ELECTION FRAUD! Ron Paul has a way of exposing ALL of the FAKE-conservatives!

      Rush mentioned it on his show today: DefendSmallBusiness.com has launched—hosted by the Small Business Authority (CEO Barry Sloane)–blaming Media Matters and activists for “intimidating” small businesses that advertise locally on Rush’s show. Rush says that numerous local advertisers have been flooded with calls bashing their choice to advertise on the show.
      Says the site: “Well-funded professional activists, led by the left-wing pressure group Media Matters, are waging a campaign across America to hurt small businesses like yours through strong-arm tactics and intimidation.
      They don’t like Rush Limbaugh’s point of view, they resent his extraordinary popularity, and they are trying to silence him by punishing small businesses that advertise on his show!
      They are actually trying to shut down businesses – tying up phone lines, crashing websites, bombarding Facebook pages or Twitter accounts, and preventing real customers from getting through.
      We’re here to help you get back to business.
      Let these left-wing special interest groups know that you will not be silenced. Tell them not to trample on your First Amendment rights or improperly interfere with your business and your livelihood!

      I wish the world is different but there are to many people that don’t care and/or don’t realize what is going on so nobody is going to win by “going down with the ship”. Unfortunately, because people are like that, things will not change until something bad happens. And something bad is coming, everyone can sense it.
      And the deal about Rush, I find that there is no standard like the double standard. Remember, “they” have been “oppressed” for “so long” that it’s time to get some “payback”. Its okay for Maher to say stuff on purpose, and then Rush says one thing…… then it’s the end of the world. This is awesome, soon 2 plus 2 WILL equal 5.

      I agree! Read David Horowitz’s book, “101 Worst Professors.”

      I do not understand how parents can send their children off to be indoctrinated by these Marxists professors as a result of failing to research the “culture” of these schools. Many of the Jesuit colleges (ex: Georgetown) are now funded by the Saudis in return for them offering Islamic courses and universities we once considered the creme de la creme (such as Harvard, Brown, Stanford, U of P) are nothing but brainwashing bastions staffed by die-hard Marxists.

      Marine25, Rush never demanded anything of the sorts. If you say he did then you’ve neber listened to the show or the comments he made. He was saying that if it costs $ 3000.00 a year for birth control then she’s a slut which she would be since a months supply of birth control is about 40 to 50 bucks. If she isn’t using birth control then condoms at.75 cents each would equal 4000 times she had sex in a year or about 2.8 times a day. That was what he was saying and it was done in a humorous way. The libs jumped on it to try and move their agenda. I would think a Marine would understand honor and honesty. Unless you‘re suffering from PDSD you’re a disgrace to the uniform.

      He‘s talking about 10’s of millions of women here. Some of whom are your wives girlfriends daughters sisters and yes, mothers.
      It is most certainly about what he said. Gentleman don’t talk about women that way. Rush should be worried one of his listeners turns out to be smart enough to figure out Rush just called his wife a whore, and demanded his daughter post web videos.

So – not surpirsed UNC is doing this. There is a real difference between N Carolina and S. Carolina – ‘course – guess that is why they split the original State into two different parts.

      Reply from UNC- I am sure it is a “form” letter

      I‘m sorry you’re upset with the University. I want to be sure you know that we
      have taken no action to remove the Tar Heel Sports Radio Network from the local
      station that broadcasts UNC basketball and football games.

      Carolina Athletics contracts with Tar Heel Sports Properties, a division of
      Learfield Sports. Learfield owns and operates the Tar Heel Sports Radio Network
      as an independent contractor. The network includes over 50 affiliates and brings
      the live broadcasts of our games to people in almost all of North Carolina.
      That’s our goal … for Carolina fans to hear our games.

      We do not affiliate with or endorse any radio personality or politician, so we
      asked the local station to end the practice of referencing the Tar Heel Sports
      Network or the University’s name while promoting the Rush Limbaugh program and
      vice versa. They agreed. That is simply to avoid the appearance of a university
      endorsement of a radio personality.

      Beyond that, the University does not plan to take any additional action at this
      time.

    According to the University , Limbaugh’s comments ” spurred many people to email us and prompted a petition campaign ( oh let me guess who “ organized ” all of this ) , both with the goal of urging us to drop our broadcasts from the station.” From the actions of the British Labour Party / International Left‘s War on Murdoch’s conservative news outlets ( and hoping that our Lefties over here will spread it to end Fox News ) to these “organized” community protests in America, the Far Left War On Freedom of conservative speech continues with the following tactics: Loose an election ? Storm state capitals with union mobs ? Supreme Court hand down a decision you don’t favor ? Demean them in a State of the Union speech and send your storm troopers in to Occupy the Courts. Not able to get congress to pass legislation you like ? Demean them in the media as “Do nothing congress” and then pass Executive Orders to bypass the elected representatives of the people . Afraid you’ll loose an election ? Turn people out to Occupy the cities, bust their budgets, and disrupt public access to the places their tax money has provided. JFK and many other “old” school Democrats must be twirling. This “New” Democrat / Marxist Party of bullies and intimidators has GOT TO Go.

      That’s why Liberals and women are in for a rude awakening when Islam eventually takes over.

      And because it doesn’t make sense to you because you are dumb, someday not too far away, you will either be gone or you will be Muslim.

      Looks like UNC prefers to be associated with the small group of radicals who have selective outrage by a word said by Rush? An association with these radicals groups who use

      blackmail, harassment, and threats will improve the image of UNC how?

    I live in the area and UNC is a breading ground of liberalism glad I don’t have to keep hearing about them.

    You’d think they would disassociate themselves away from the slut instead of an American Icon who single handedly saved AM radio. It appears they condone sluts. Slutty school.

    Stop buying UNC sports merchandise, stop sending money to them and stop supporting these left wing Marxists that want to destroy us…it really is that simple!

      Agree. The War on Terror is not our only battle ground. The War on Marxism is equally important for America’s future.

    Well, would they feel similarly if Bill Maher‘s name was mentioned or that of fat blowhard Ed Schultz or Keith Olbermann’s? Of course not, THIS IS A POLITICAL DECISION, nothing more.

      Fits in so nicely with the union mobs in Wisconsin, the Occupy the courts, the Occupy the cities, the Mic Checks at Republican primaries, the ACORN groups in bankers’ neighborhoods, the Hoodie Marches to “arrest” a man they have decided is guilty without the facts, Our Democrats: just a bunch of bullies who “demand” what they want, use hate speech and rallies, and Occupies when they don’t get it. The adults in Washington used to call them anarchists . Now they call them fellow Democrats. Another “change” these Marxists have brought to America.
