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.
LOL... Good points.
I hadn't heard about WBIR running PSAs rather than local ads. My plan was to watch the program this week to get a list of advertisers. My church and at least one other that I know of are preparing to boycott WBIR and their advertisers.
If WBIR insists on running only PSAs, I guess our only recourse would be to go after *all* WBIR advertisers, rather than just the ones on this program... There are plenty of other channels in Knoxville, TN for advertisers to buy space on.
Does anyone else find it even more insulting to learn that WBIR is so determined to insult us, that they'll pass up advertising revenue and encouraging their viewers watch other channels? All this just to air a silly little sitcom, which will likely be cancelled in half a season anyway... strange
