Don't expect the courtesy of a response from the general manager of WBIR. I emailed him and the WBIR sales department prior to the first show's airing, and never received a response.
My understanding is that the manager was interviewed on WBIR news about the show, and he said that those who didn't want the show to air should just change the channel and watch something else. That seems strange, since WBIR's own survey indicated that 60% of their audience didn't want it shown.
I thought WBIR would want to *attract* viewers to their channel, not run them off. However, I guess that's true only when it doesn't interfere with their Christian-bashing...
I'm sure it won't stop them from advertising their folksy home-town goodness with their "Straight from the Heart" slogan.

Did you notice the next day he was quoted in the paper saying he replaced local advertisements with PSAs during the program, "not that he was asked to". Yeah, right. I'm sure WBIR wants to turn down revenue from local advertisers and encourage the majority of viewers to watch other channels. With a management style like that he must be applying for a PBS job so he can be funded by our tax dollars to broadcast garbage.
You are correct. I never did receive so much as a courtesy response.
