UPDATE: Sleep Train and Others Clarify Record on KRXQ Advertising

GLAAD has received a few updates about KRXQ and their advertisers. Our extensive coverage on advertisers either pulling or not renewing contracts can be found here. This update comes after GLAAD spoke with KRXQ yesterday, which you can read about here. Sleep Train provided GLAAD with the following statement to share with its readers:

Thank you for taking the time to write us regarding the comments made on the Rob, Arnie and Dawn show on KRXQ.  Rob, Arnie and Dawn have done a good job endorsing for us for many years.  However, this time they went too far.  We do not condone their comments in any way and we have made it clear to KRXQ's management, Rob, Arnie and Dawn that their conduct was unacceptable. Sleep Train is proud of our history of diversity and the inclusion of all the communities we serve.  As a result, we have pulled our ads off of KRXQ until further notice.

We have also received other statements from Red Bull, Hawaiian Airlines and State Farm. Red Bull sent us a statement addressing their advertising relationship with KRXQ:

Red Bull is not an advertiser on KRQX. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

We also were provided with a statement from Hawaiian Airlines who reportedly received a number of emails this past weekend. The airline states:

Hawaiian Airlines is not an advertiser on the station.

State Farm had a similar statement as Red Bull and Hawaiian Airlines. The company writes:

Thank you for your comments regarding State Farm running advertisements on station KRXQ in Sacramento.  We have read your concerns and those of others with similar concerns.  We take very seriously each comment we receive. State Farm has not advertised on KRXQ in 2009.  Once this particular show ran, we discovered that the station had not removed our company logo from their website and that mistake has been rectified.
