Dear Cole
As the manager of this station I care nothing about the "morals" of the community. It is simply not my job. It is each individual's duty to look after their own morals, and the duty of parents to govern and teach their children morals as they see fit.
However, I do very much care about the advertising revenue that each time slot produces. "The Book of Daniel" showed every sign of having minimal or even negative revenue in its time slot. As my duty to the owners and shareholders of my station requires, I have discontinued the show in its current time slot for something potentially more profitable, like "I Dream of Jeanie" re-runs. If the option becomes available, I will move "The Book of Daniel to a more appropriate time where it has the potential to increase station revenue, say 2 AM.
Thank you very much for your letter.
The WSMV Management.
ha--that's right, liberals just don't get that TV stations are supposed to make a profit and that show just wasn't
cutting it. By the way I found the blog this way: I think there was something at BoreAmerica.com ("listening to Air
America so you don't have to") about Nashville wanting an Air America station, and they mentioned a low-power (legal,
not a pirate) station for the "community"--I went to their site and found basically all-lefty, all the time. When I
clicked on a show called "Christian Dissent" it bought me to that blog, and thus the letter to Music City's NBC
affiliate :)
