Hispanics demand suspension at WLW

BY QUAN TRUONG | QTRUONG@ENQUIRER.COMLocal Hispanics demanded Wednesday that media giant Clear Channel suspend its local market manager, Chuck Fredrick, for two weeks without pay because of offensive billboards and radio spots by WLW-AM (700). The League of United Latin American Citizens on Wednesday released a proposal to Clear Channel, listing conditions it wants met before a boycott of the station is called off. The station agreed to a previous demand to establish an advisory board, but the league added more demands, including the Fredrick suspension and diversity training for WLW employees. Clear Channel’s WLW-AM has offended the league twice since May in incidents it called “blatant discrimination.”
