I'm not sure they would be willing to devote so much time to the issue.
Which is to say that I very much doubt they would.  But you could try
posting to the Utah NOW suggestions board on the web site.

Personally, I would be concerned about the negative effect on public
opinion if, say, a big game (or primary results or something) happened
to be on back-to-back with the proponents' show, leading to a greater
viewership for the opponents' show. Better to have one show with
everybody fighting it out together.  As long as smart, articulate people
like Pete Ashdown are representing the pro-side, it's a sure win :-)

I would encourage you to contact Doug directly, but personally I'd
rather not seem obnoxious by trying to force this issue all over the
building.  I gotta work around these people :-)  I figure Doug, as host
of Utah NOW, will certainly become quite familiar with it as a result of
doing that show, and will know whether he cares enough to bring it also
to RadioWest.
