RE: Michael Moore's challenge on Leno...

[JFW]

that he'd give Sinclair his latest film for FREE if they'd run it also... you know they won't do it, so what I think he should do is offer it for free to any/all competing stations within Sinclair's market with the agreement that they run it OPPOSITE the anti-Kerry piece. That'd show 'em.

1. Good idea in theory but...

There are going to be enough people upset about missing their shows with the anti Kerry smear, no need to piss people off by preempting still more shows at the same time. It appears that there is a very real possibility that any Fox station in the Sinclair group may have playoff baseball interrupted and that will upset people enough.

2. I believe Sinclair only owns ABC affiliates....

not certain, though... anything on FOX wouldn't be affected.

3. WDSM in Des Moines, IA is a Fox station

and KGAN in Cedar Rapids, IA is a CBS station. Don't know about any others in any other markets but I do know about those two.

4. Not so.

The one station they own in my own area is a WBN affiliate.

8. Nope

They run the gamut. WB and UPN in the Raleigh-Durham area, so no one watches them anyway here.

10. They own the WB station in the Minneapolis area

n/t

13. ABC is owned by Disney

6. Thats a great Idea

and I'd love to see him do it but I wonder about the legal intracies (aka bullsh*t gov't raodblocks to free speach)...

9. Umm - where have you been? HE ALREADY DID A COUPLE DAYS AGO!

They all turned him down, so far.

11. WSMH Flint/Saginaw MI

is a fox station.
They have a survey on their site (which I went to to complain)
asking whether they should show f911, whether they should show the
swift boat thing at all.
Most responses are, don't show the swift boat thing, about 69 percent.
next, if they do show it, they should not show F911. ( I think the logic
people are voting for is that F911 is factual, and should not be
placed on the same level as the other trash)
