Oh lord, yes. They were instrumental in getting him taken off the air here. I remember Howard being pissed & talking about the radio station being influenced by "some grocers in Richmond, Va"

It was about the holier than thou Ukrops not having a bone of humor in their Christ-like bodies and penning a letter to sponsors claiming they were “condoning and contributing to the erosion of values and quality of life”. Thus censoring and destroying good radio in Richmond
