You know the economy's bad when a sports station agrees to sell air time to
a show promoting the legalization of marijuana.

Although as it stands right now, Rick D. Day's Club Cannabis has yet to hit
the airwaves at "XTRA Sports" KTRA-AM (1190).

Mr. Day, executive director of Texas NORML (National Organization for the
Reform of Marijuana Laws), signed a deal with KTRA on Oct. 17 for a 7-8
p.m. show each Sunday.

Soon, however, an executive somewhere within the Clear Channel hierarchy --
Mr. Day says he's not sure who it is -- raised a red flag, and negotiations
are continuing.

Mr. Day suffers from hepatitis C and thinks marijuana for medicinal
purposes might help. He says he simply wants to do a show that clears up
"misinformation" about marijuana, and he told the station that the show
"was going to take the general issue of marijuana and treat it as more of a
mainstream issue without breaking any laws."

David Becker, the KTRA account executive who approached Mr. Day and sold
the hour to him (for $300 a pop) said last week he has been told not to
comment. His boss couldn't be reached by deadline.

Meanwhile, Mr. Day says KTRA has already taken $300 from his bank account
for a show that never aired.

But he remains confident that Club Cannabis will see the light of day. He's
hoping to debut Dec. 9.
