On Thursday, Setpember 13th during the Mike Trivisonno show on WTAM 1100, radio personality, and show namesake, Mike Trivisonno broadcast some anti-bicycle sentiments that were inappropriate and intolerable. In response Bike Cleveland drafted a letter to Clear Channel, the owners of the station, asking for a public apology and dedicated billboard space and air time for public awareness related to bike safety. You can hear the segment here:

We will let you know when we hear a response from Clear Channel, and if any action is needed from area cyclists.

UPDATE: Following up from our letter Gary Mincer, President/ Market Manager, Cleveland at Clear Channel Media and Entertainment.
