US Cellular - Sinclair, something of a cop-out...
I'm sure everyone's gotten this and it's been posted, but it's pretty interesting. A total cop-out, but still, I guess it's... something?

****************************

At U.S. Cellular, we strive to provide the very best in customer
satisfaction and we appreciate your recent inquiry regarding Sinclair
Broadcasting Group. As a non-partisan corporation, U.S. Cellular does not
take a position in the presidential race. However, we believe the program
"Stolen Honor" does not provide an optimal environment for our advertising.
Therefore, we have instructed Sinclair affiliates not to run U.S. Cellular
commercial spots two hours before, during and after the program's airing.
We value your opinion and hope our response addresses your concerns.

Sincerely,

John E. Rooney
President & CEO
U.S. Cellular

1. Yes I think so too. I called them and got the same response.
I will not renew my contract when it runs out.

4. Something... but not enough of somethng.
They need responses letting them know that although their minimal display is appreciated if Sinclair simply has to shuffle a few ads around by a couple hours it isn't sending them much of a message at all... and this is NOT a sufficient response to the travesty they are committing.

5. I'm keeping my US Cellular
Good service and I got a tremendous deal on my plan. Plus their response is satisfactory.

Some people here need to get a grip. You sound like a bunch of ignorant Freepers. I mean what is the difference on something like this when it comes down to it? They bully companies they don't like and we bully companies we dont like.
