Texas Radio Commercial Messes With Missouri

Radio boss Mark Dorsey is messing with Texas, but only because he thinks Texas messed with us first.

According to stltoday.com, Dorsey, general manager at KTRS 550 AM, has pulled radio commercials voiced by Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who talks about why Missouri businesses would be better off moving to Texas.

Dorsey has issued his own audio statement. Click Here to listen. 

"When the order was placed, KTRS was under the assumption these commercials were going to promote tourism to Texas," Dorsey's clip states.

"Once we, the management of KTRS, realized these commercials were instead focused on stealing locally owned companies away from St Louis, we suspended airing these commercials immediately," he said.

Perry's radio ads tout his state’s secure corporate climate, and criticizes Missouri Democratic leadership. Perry is set to visit Missouri next week and his business ads are running on radio and television in St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia, Joplin and Kansas City.

In Perry's ad, he says, "Unfortunately, your governor vetoed a bill that would have lowered taxes and controlled wasteful spending," Perry says in the ad. "But there is a state where businesses flourish and jobs are created: Texas."

Similar commercials aired in February in California.
