Commentary: Certain findings of certain pieces of information (or certain findings of great interest and great importance) (2)

(note #1: quotations of a certain article (named "Captain Kangaroo fans picket WKRG") of a certain "Mobile Press-Register" publication dated for the Wednesday of the twentieth day of the month of October of the calendar year 1981) 

• "PEACEFUL PROTESTOR -- Emily Littlepage, 10 months old, joined the 30 mothers and children Tuesday in front of WKRG headquarters on Broadcast Drive to protest the station's decision to take Captain Kangaroo's show off the air. The people staged the protest Tuesday because CBS national officials were in town. (Mobile Register photo by Aaron O. Tesney)" 
  
• "Ready to welcome the president of CBS television network and the president CBS broadcast group to Mobile Tuesday were 30 mothers and children carrying picket signs in front of the WKRG (Channel 5) studio on Broadcast Drive. 
  
• Horns honked and thumbs rose as passersby read the posters carried on bodies, in hands and across strollers protesting a decision by the TV station to drop the Captain Kangaroo show. Signs read 'Honk if you live the Captain,' 'Save our Captain' and 'Don't kids have any rights?'
  
• Kathy Conklin told how she got involved in the protest. She pointed to her 3-year-old daughter, Damianna, and said, 'She's watched the Captain ever since I could remember...When  the  Captain didn't come back on the air, I tried to explain this to her. How could I tell her somebody booted the Captain? This is his 25th anniversary year. He  must  have  done something good all these years.'
• Several persons confirmed that C. P. Persons, head of programming for the station, 'made a personal appearance and told us he didn't care if anyone in the area watches his news program.'  
  
• Mothers in the protest group said WKRG officials told them the station had the only news show in town at 7 a.m. and they would leave the news on instead of the Captain. 'We said something about boycotting Channel 5 and  he (Persons) said he doesn't care if anyone watched 5,' one protester said
• Another protester, Maria Giacomelli, said, 'I wanted to ask him if rapes and murders more important for the children than to see the Captain.'
• 'Buck' Long, senior vice president of WKRG Inc., said he had never heard Persons say that he didn't care what the public thought to anyone. 'That is a comment I don't think  Mr.  Persons  would make to anyone,' Long said. He added, 'It isn't that we don't care what the public thinks--we live and die by what the public thinks.' 
  
• When  asked  if  there is  any chance that the Captain might be brought back on the air, Long said, 'All of us would have hopes...' but added he was in no position to say if the change would be made.
• Persons, who was with CBS-TV network president Jim Rosenfield and CBS broadcast group president Gene Jankowski, was unavailable for comment afternoon.
  
• Sharon Presken,  one of the first parents to get involved in the Save the Captain drive, said the protest in front of WKRG and another protest in front of the Hilton Hotel before a  press  conference  went well.
  
• Mrs. Presken said the CBS president told her he supported the group and they should have the right to view the Captain's show." 
  
• A lot of Channel 5 cars went past during the protest and honked their horns for the Captain and gave thumbs-up signs, Mrs. Presken said. 'They're behind us, too,' she added, 'it's just top management that's against us.' 
  
• Mrs. Presken said an announcement on WABB radio about a 'Captain Kangaroo Defense League' helped her PTA group and other groups protesting the missing show find each other. But, there is no organization called the 'Captain Kangaroo Defense League,' Mrs. Presken said. 
  
• Mrs. Presken and others are asking people to write the Federal Communications Commission and tell them they want to see Captain Kangaroo's show."

(note #3: quotation of a certain article (named "Captain Kangaroo fans picket WKRG") of a certain "Mobile Press-Register" publication dated for the Wednesday of the twentieth day of the month of October of the calendar year 1981): "As parents,  we  should  all  be concerned over the type of shows our children see on television.  One of the best shows for children is not being shown on our local affiliate. WKRG TV ,  Channel 5 in Mobile. The show is 'Captain Kangaroo' on national television from 7  to 7:30 a.m.  Monday through Friday. This show has been on television for many years and is a learning experience and wholesome show for our youngsters.  The  'Captain Kangaroo  Show'  has been upgraded now with a new format to include school age children as well as pre-school children. I called the television studio last week when 'Captain' was not shown as advertised and was told that the program manager simply decided not to show it here.  But depending on the number of phone calls  and  especially letters,  he might reconsider. Let me urge the parents  of Baldwin  County  to  write  and maybe the show will then be aired. We need 'Captain.' Write C. P. Persons,  WKRG TV,  P.O.  Box 160587, Mobile, Ala. 36616.")
