WNYC is selling my information

During their Fall Membership Drive a public radio station out of New York City was holding a contest giving away an Apple MacBook Pro.  You didn’t need to join as a member to get in on the contest, just call in with you information.

I figured, what do I have to loose.  I called into WNYC and gave them my name, address, and phone number.  I figured, these guys are a big public radio station what will they do with my info.

Well two weeks later I got a membership letter from local public television station, Thirteen (WNET) and yesterday I got a letter from the Sierra Club.

This really upsets me.  I am going to write to WNYC and see what the deal is with this and why are they selling my info.
