• More major sponsors, such as Home Depot, Sears and Radio Shack,

have cancelled their ads on syndicated talk show host

Savage's " Savage Nation " show after his remarks of July 16. Savage

reportedly told his listeners that autism was a ploy to hide the fact

that most kids are " brats " as well as " idiots " and " morons " . He went

on to suggest that autism was " a fraud, a racket " designed to get

public assistance.

In Cleveland, Salem-owned talk radio station WHK is reportedly

planning to cancel the show as soon as a replacement show can be

arranged.

Here in Toledo, Cumulus talk station SuperTalk 1560 WTOD carries the

Savage show. Program Director Norm Wamer said, " We have received some

complaints and take them very seriously. I always welcome feedback

and I'd like to thank everyone for their responses. We do not agree

with Mr. Savage's comments and programming decisions are currently

under consideration. "
