Eight Radio Stations To Simulcast BP Oil Spill Claims Program
March 28, 2011
Many of the radio stations on the Gulf Coast will preempt programming this evening to simulcast a half-hour program on filing oil spill claims.
The stations will air a program with an update on the Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF) filing procedures — both how to file initial claims and what to do if your claim has been denied. The project was organized by Dave Cobb, general manager of Sunshine Broadcasting working with Rep. Doug Broxson.
“The BP oil spill hurt the economy of Northwest Florida. Radio stations have come together to promote the importance of filing and, if denied, refiling claims to Ken Feinberg’s GCCF organization,” Cobb said.
Many of the radio stations in Northwest Florida have donated $192,018 in airtime during the past 60 days to encourage Floridians to file GCCF claims and refile if they were previously denied.
During the program at 6:30 p.m., John Teelin (WPNN) and Robert Hill (WRNE) will interview claims expert Kelly Johnson, a catastrophe claims adjuster who previously worked on behalf of BP and its contractors. He now runs NWF Consulting, a Pensacola firm that is helping BP oil spill claimants.
The Pensacola area radio stations that will broadcast the half hour program Monday include:
- 102.7-WXBM
- CatCountry 98.7
- Soft Rock 94.1
- NewsRadio 1620-AM
- WCOA 1370-AM
- WEBY 1330-AM
- WPNN 790-AM
- WRNE 980-AM

At the GCCF site listed here it shows Iterim Business claims at 18,898 & 433 pd =43.64 mo. to finish. Full Review Business Claims 17,246 & 110 Pd. = 156.78 months or 13 years to wait. Is there a politician in the 4 Gulf States that can figure out how to put an end to this disgusting program that pays $1.25 million to continue to reward someone for this?
Where is talk radio – they’ve been pretty quiet on this issue.
