KOIN 6 TV is an affiliate of CBS Network in New York. The Reagans Mini Series is being produced by CBS. KOIN 6 TV have no control over their decisions regarding the program content. WEASEL WORDS!!! read what they said carefully! The email says affiliates have no control in the "program content". But they DO have control on whether they broadcast the show or not!!

The CBS Network will not be affected like the local stations will.
A simple public note of protest to the one comment in the movie to CBS from KOIN would suffice in my mind as a stance against what the screen writer herself called a 'made up' comment with no record of it ever being made or anything even similar.
Reagan had his problems - and those are up for discussion but this line in the movie is an outright lie and you are my CBS. I expect you to do the right thing.
Thank you

Actually, they may not have a say. The affiliate contracts as I understand them have some must run conditions for primetime. I'm not sure what those contractual rules are so they may not be weasel words. If they do have a choice to carry or not carry then they are accountable for the decision to carry it. In order to put them on the spot we would need to know the contract conditions covering their ability not to run this piece.
