NBCUniversal owns a dozen or more other cable channels too, not just the NBC branded ones.

We canceled our cable a few months ago and are not missing it at all.

Yes NBC, CBS, and ABC are dying dinosaurs. I have not watched any of them in 15 years or more.

How about quitting Comcast, which owns NBC? I hate Comcast.

Hand written letters to your local affiliate, and the Commercial sponsors, also help.

Lean on those slip and fall Lawyers, Democrat business which advertise on the local NBC affiliate

Already boycotting all NBC products. Since Burn Notice ended there hasn't been anything worth watching on any of their channels.

Cut the cable years ago, but still watch a few CBS properties (NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles) and my wife likes The Good Wife via the internet.

No problem here — haven’t watched NBC for a long time.

Haven’t watched TV since Sarah’s acceptance speech in the summer/fall of 2008. No plans to change.

Not watching TV gives me more time to FReep. I’d much rather spend time with y’all than watch the idiot box.

Over Trump? The same one who should have had the decency to drop his contract when he started running for office?

I anticipate your request, and complied.

About the only TV I watch these days is MeTV

I watched an episode of the Mod Squad yesterday on MeTV. It started with the usual opening sequence, and then the announcer began rattling off the guest stars. Because of all the names, I thought it was a list of stars in upcoming episodes, but I was wrong. It was for this one episode......

Ed Asner
Robert Reed
Cleavon Little
Richard Pryor
Stephanie Powers
Barbara McNair
Cesar Romero

I think the answer is to hack into their servers and broadcast the Juanita Broaddrick interview on an infinite loop.

Disconnected cable 4 years ago. Does that count?

While I agree not watching TV is productive, it makes no difference to thier revenue unless you are in the Nielson group. All “viewers” are extrapolated from this partisan sample.

Blow your TV up—it will increase your IQ, but it won’t matter any more than a vote for a libertarian.

When I see threads like this, I remind myself of how much money I have saved (about $3K) by cutting the cable.
