Racist radio station for sale
after three-year controversy
The Royal
Treatment
WASHINGTON (JTA)-The li
cense of the Kansas radio station
which caused an uproar in 1982
with its racist and anti-Semitic
broadcasts is being offered for sale.
According to the World Jewish
Congress unit on the documenta
tion of international anti-Semitism,
the ow ner of the Dodge City radio
station. KTTL-FM. is willing to
relinquish it for S 10.000 and give
up the fight against the challenges
to his license currently before the
Federal Communications Commis
sion (FCC).
At a hearing before the FCC, the
attorney for Charles Babbs, owner
of the radio station, said his client
was willing to give up the license
for cash to the Community Service
Broadcasting Inc., the citizens
group which has been trying for
three years to secure the license in
place of the Dodge City station.
Controversy engulfed the station
in 1982 and 1983 when it broadcast
programs that were anti-black and
anti-Jewish. The sermons of James
Wickstrom, founder of Posse Comi-
tatus, the rightwing extremist
group, were among the broadcasts
aired.
Babbs’ application for a broad
cast license renewal in February
1983 was challenged by the com
munity service group which filed a
competing application.
The group is expected to accept
Babbs’ surprise settlement offer to
give up his three-year fight to retain
the license.
Banquet room available
for large parties.
Private Party rooms also available.
