TIVO Users......
Edited on Sat Sep-09-06 08:01 PM by tpsbmam
There have been some great suggestions here, including those for Democrats who are part of Nielsen ratings.

TIVO users can also make a HUGE statement if we do it en masse. TIVO collects data on (a) season passes and (b) what people record and watch. (Yes, they can even tell what you rewind, where you rewind it to, etc etc.....it's pretty creepy.)

So, here's what I've done:

Deleted any season passes that involved ABC stations. AND I'll stop recording anything on ABC stations. I'll miss a couple of shows I like but so what, who the hell wants to watch them on the Anything But Conscience stations?

So what? They aggregate all of this data to send to cable companies and, more importantly, advertisers. If we can't stop ABC in time, we can make them pay via decreased advertising dollars.
