I think you should email him again and see if he will hand deliver it. Maybe bring the film crew and have it as their feature story on the 10 pm. news. ;-)

Wow, if thats the case, you where most fortunate. If he sent you a signed photo, you should have recieved it?

But please, whatever the answer, does not justify, you or anyone ever doing that agian.

We must always remember, that someone else, at some point may like to contact them for an autograph. And it's not up to any of us, to make it harder for them :roll:

Apparently we got disconnected somehow. Today I received this email:
.... Hey Mike I thought it was you who hung up on me. And I certainly
did send you a picture and was happy to do so. Please send me your
address again so I can pop something in the mail to you.

No I didn't. Actually my complaint was forwarded to the VP from the General Manager.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.
We pride ourselves on our performance and on our relationship with our viewers, so this type of behavior is not acceptable to me. Rest assured I will address your complaint with our anchor Ravi Baichwal.
Again, I thank you for taking the time to contact us and I do
sincerely hope you will give ABC 7 News another chance.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Graves
VP & News Director
ABC 7 News

It's fine to write, or to e-mail someone, but to phone them at work is a big NO NO.

Also, you must remember, you could stop him signing in the future. {nonono}

Phoning someone while he was at work and asking for an autograph? If that was me, I'd of hung up first time round. It was incredibly rude of you to phone and ask, and even ruder to phone him back. But regardless of that fact, how is this a reason to boycott them?

Just my opinion.

That's no reason to boycott a television program.

I'm surprised he didn't hang up on you the first time. It's one thing to send a letter or email but to call someone either at home or at their place of employment and ask for an autograph in my opinion is very intrusive. He has a job to do. Just imagine every autograph collector in Chicago calling him and asking for an autograph. The poor guy would need his own answering service, Also, many companies discourage incoming/outgoing personal phone calls and have policies in place to curtail the problem.
