When you write those letters to Sinclair's advertisers...

[Contrary1]

include a "Conversion List". I saw this on another message board.
What a great idea...turns the screws a wee bit tighter.

Applebee's International, Inc. = Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, etc...
Circuit City = Best Buy
Corona = Dos Equis
Dr Pepper/Seven Up Inc = Sprite

4. Good Idea..

Make sure that the organizations we convert to are 'labor' friendly and 'people' friendly.

...and keep it updated.

6. All the brands mentioned are national

Local advertisers like pizza chains, car dealers, furniture stores, glass repair, jewelers and a host of others are where you can reeally sting them. According to Josh Marshal, 60% of the ad dollar comes from local, small businesses. Contact those businesses directly and share your concerns. They are the key pressure point. Talk to the person who coordinates their advertising. Think globally, act locally.
