Tell them this debate was so journalistically inadequate it has cost them a viewer for their local news. That is their money maker. When corporate heres bitching from the local affilliates it will listen. List of locals with phone numbers. http://www.parentstv.org/ptc/networks/ABC_affiliatelookup.asp>

I know it is late so keep this kicked and the east coasters can call all day Friday.

7. Our local ABC affilliate decided just a couple of weeks ago to stop airing 'This Week w/Stephy"....
Now I see why and am sending them my approval on their decision...

8. Just call your cable company and remove them off your programming.

11. That will work too, but if calling locally could get them to clean up their act...
Remember we have a more impt. debate between Obama and McCain in the future.

15. Not possible
FCC rules require local affiliates are "must-carry."

Plus, if people were actually able to call the cable company and remove stations they don't watch, there would be no home shopping or religious channels left.
