Doug Stephan's side of the Armstrong & Getty phone-bit incident – "A mistake"

How did a listener phone call made to the KSTE, Sacramento-based Armstrong & Getty show wind up on Doug Stephan’s syndicated “Good Day” show? Stephan explains that he does a Talk Radio Count Down show before his regular “Good Morning” show, and in that show he regularly plays clips from many other radio and TV shows – with attribution. He tells Radio-Info that “Armstrong and Getty have been credited 25 times this year.” But recently and by mistake a clip got re-used during “Good Day”, and that’s apparently what an Armstrong & Getty listener heard. Stephan called A&G yesterday and tried to explain what happened, and says the first thing one of them said was “we’re pretending to be outraged.” Stephan says he’s "a cheerleader” for radio and has been doing it for over 40 years, much it for six hours a day.
