Nation's largest TV chain orders all 62 stations to show movie without
commercials next week.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Sinclair Broadcast Group, owner of the largest
chain of television stations in the nation, plans to air a documentary
that accuses Sen. John Kerry of betraying American prisoners during the Vietnam War, a newspaper reported Monday.

The network has ordered all 62 of its stations to air "Stolen Honor:
Wounds That Never Heal" without commercials in prime-time next week,
the Washington Post said, just two weeks before the Nov. 2 election.

Sinclair's television group, which includes affiliates of all the major networks, reaches nearly a quarter of all U.S. television households, according to the company's Web site. But the affiliates owned by the major television networks reach a larger percentage of U.S. homes because they are in the largest markets.

A dozen of Sinclair's stations are in the critical swing states of
Ohio, Florida, Iowa and Wisconsin.

We welcome your comments regarding the upcoming special news event featuring the topic of Americans held as prisoners of war in Vietnam. The program has not been videotaped and the exact format of this unscripted event has not been finalized. Characterizations regarding the content are premature and are based on ill-informed sources.

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry has been invited to participate. You can urge him to appear by calling his Washington, D.C. campaign headquarters at...

3. Write Complaint to FCC

The single most effective way to stop this broadcast is for people living in the Sinclair broadcast markets to call the station in their viewing area and threaten to write a complaint to the FCC. You see, the FCC grants the stations their "free" broadcast license to operate in the public's interest. Every few years a station's performance is reviewed to see if they are meeting that obligation. Writtem complaints are given VERY SERIOUS consideration by the FCC. These complaint letters are what stations fear more than anything else. These stations will back down if enough people call and threaten to complain to the FCC.
