The man who launched a campaign to stop KFAB (1110 AM) from airing a controversial parody of life in North Omaha is Winsley Durand, Director of Minority Economic Development for the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce (pictured at right).KFAB evening drive-time talk show host Tom Becka revealed Durand's identity on his blog Thursday. He also writes that Durand sent copies of the parody from his Chamber e-mail account, something which David Brown, president and CEO of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, admits was a mistake.
Public scrutiny surrounding the parody was the subject of media coverage Tuesday, including stories by KETV (Cox Channel 9), WOWT (Cox Channel 8) and the Omaha World-Herald (registration required).
Backa says he invited Durand to appear on Wednesday's program, while Brown and Paul Landow, chief of staff for Omaha Mayor Michael Fahey, both declined offers to be on the air.
