Talk:Charlotte Peters

The statement contained in this article - "When the show's run ended, it was one of the few remaining daytime variety shows still on the air.[1] The final episode aired on July 10, 1970. Peters had urged viewers not to attend the Festival of Life that yippies were hosting in Forest Park. Some one hundred protesters showed up at KTVI. Peters was informed of her show's cancellation that day. Station management said that viewership had been down.[8]" Is false. Far from Peters urging viewers not to attend the Festival of Life, she urged "every red-blooded American father" to go to Forest Park and beat the yippies with baseball bats. Had she merely urged viewers not to attend there would have been no reason for one hundred protesters to show up at KTVI, no one would have cared. KTVI was forced to cancel Peters' show because she had violated FCC rules and the law by inciting to violence. Fortunately no one followed her call and the Festival continued for it's planned course without violence. This can be verified if KTVI still has a tape of the episode. If they do not, I testify personally that these are the facts. I was one of the principle organizers of the Festival and appeared on my of the news casts about that event, interviews broadcast nation-wide at the time. This passage should read, "When the show's run ended, it was one of the few remaining daytime variety shows still on the air. The final episode aired on July 10, 1970. Peters had urged viewers to attack the attendees at the Festival of Life that yippies were hosting in Forest Park. Some one hundred protesters showed up at KTVI. Peters was informed of her show's cancellation that day. Station management gave the excuse that viewership had been down."
