How to Effectively Impact Kimmel's Suspension (NOT Cancelling Disney+ or Hulu)

[TrumanTheTiger]

From the Book of Faces, specifically from a retired broadcaster.

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.

Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact. Nothing. This is a much more effective tool than cancelling Disney.
We did cancel Disney but calling Joe’s Jeep dealership who is buying adds on the local nexstar station will have a BIG impact. Joe doesn’t need that grief. He will find another station to buy adverts on.

17. Dan Satterfield is the original poster.

You can likely find him there and share.

2. Great...except all local stations are owned by Nexstar, Sinclair, or are the FOX affiliate.

....So....Joe's Jeep has nowhere to go except promotional spots on PBS.

3. Just stop watching, their advertising revenue will drop quickly when surveys show reduced watching.

But your way s good too.

4. Our Sinclair station has almost no advertising

Disney understands money and when you cancel and say why they might get the message. Central Florida depends on the mouse and I know many of the people who will be impacted but you have to make them fear you more than they fear him.

boycotting these BS media companies. That makes me very happy.

Of course, protests are always helpful, too.

NO KINGS Protest Oct., 18th!!!! Over 2,000 protests have already been organized...

NO KINGS protests already planned in 2,000+ cities for Oct 18!!!!!!!
There are 2,000 NO KINGS protests planned for Oct 18th
With one month to go the number of organized rallies will increase enormously.

There were over 13 million Americans who attended over 2,000 NO KINGS protests on the June 14, No Kings protest and this one will be even larger! The original was the largest mass protest in US history.

8. Protest need to happen weekly, not every few months.

7. K & R

10. I think both is appropriate, write the advertisers and also cancel subscriptions.

They need to lose income from both sources.

11. Very 20th century solution

for a 21st century media landscape. A retired broadcaster has experience in a world that doesn’t exist anymore.

19. Keep in mind who only cares about ratings....

….when views and interactions are what matter in the 21st Century.

12. Handy lists of Nextstar and Sinclair stations-

13. But cancel Disney and Hulu too.

[RainCaster]

14. We need to protest in front of every Disney property

If people won't cross those picket lines, the message will be received very quickly.

15. In the Los Angeles market, Nexstar owns KTLA

Do whatever you like with that information.

18. That's unfortunate. They had such a long and independent history.

I remember so well coming home from school and watching CHiPs and Little House on the Prairie on their channel. News was news then.

16. The local Sears owner got REALLY upset when I told her I was boycotting their store because they sponsored Rush Limbaugh

She was almost panicking, saying it wasn't her fault or decision.
