WKMH’s Robin Seymour Refused Presley Plays On Show
DETROIT — When it comes to Elvis Presley, deejays are saying plenty about him these days, but one thing they evidently can’t do is ignore him. WKMH Program Director and air personality Robin Seymour in Detroit, for instance, recently took a stand against playing Elvis Presley recordings on his show, following the singer’s controversial appearance on Milton Berle’s television program.
However, after receiving over 500 letters from teenagers who threaten to boycott his show, Seymour wrote an open letter to his erstwhile fans, which appeared on the front-page article of a Detroit newspaper, under “Teen Life.” In the article, Seymour explained that, “now that Presley was keeping his gyrations under wraps,” (as Presley demonstrated recently with an appearance the Steve Allen Show) the rock ‘n’ roll artist was persona grata on Seymour’s program once again.
