(From the diaries. A great morale boost and proof that our efforts are paying off -- kos)
As directed in this forum I sent emails to an advertiser saying that I enjoyed their products but that I was no longer going to use them, and that none of my friends and family were going to use them either because they advertised on Sinclair stations. I went on to tell them why I had a problem with Sinclair as well.

A few minutes ago I received a call from them telling me they were PULLING their advertising from the Sinclair stations.

1. YEAHHHHH!

I admire Sylvan for tutoring children and attempting to help them meet their educational goals.

This shows that they do indeed have a heart as well.

3. is there a page where we can sticky

all the companies that decided not to continue to advertise with sinclair so we can applaud their efforts?

4. I don't know anything about the sticky, but we should all contact

the advertisers! I don't know how much power local affiliates have over Sinclair, but I KNOW how much power the ADVERTISERS do! We get 'em to loose a biggie, and this baby won't air!

5. Does anyone have a list of advertisers who peddle their wares on these

stations? I'm in! I e-mailed my fingers off last night, but have recovered nicely, and am ready for Round 2!
Let me at 'em! (Professionally and politely, of course!)

8. Click on the yellow highlighted box at the top of this page.

It has links to the advertisers, networks, and Sinclair. You can also sign a petition.

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!
