by protesting the universities endorsement of it on 2 limbaugh stations. i think WIBA in madison is one of them.

the badger is being used to defund the university and public ed in WI and attack teachers! making it an issue with campus protests etc would scare a lot of advertisers.

the money they get from the radio licensing portion may be miniscule compared to the overall, there are plenty of apolitical stations around who might want to do the games, and there's online also- they have NO rational defense for not looking for alternatives for their support of the walker/KKK radio, no matter when their existing media contracts may expire.

IMO protesting at the stations (and UW) that were attacking the capitol protestors and supporting walker would have worked better than protesting at the capitol.

dems need to make it an issue.
