We've all heard the saying that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." It's one of those nice platitudes you agree with until the imitation affects you personally. A local consultant is airing a radio ad purported to be from the "Oklahoma Political News Service." The ad is
COMPLETELY FALSE! Oklahoma Political News Service has no immediate plans to advertise on the radio, television, or any other medium. Below is a letter faxed to KQCV.
KQCV

To whom it may concern:
It has come to our attention that you are currently airing a political advertisement on your station (KQCV) paid for by Tim Gray & Associates. In the advertisement, an announcer claims to be giving an “update from the Oklahoma Political News Service”, a statement that is completely false! Oklahoma Political News Service strives to be non partisan and independent. As our mission statement states: “No content herein has been authorized by any candidate or political party.” We respectfully ask you cease airing this advertisement which falsely associates itself with our organization.
If you fail to do so, we will explore our legal options.
Respectfully,
Christopher Arps
