A couple of Sinclair advertiser email responses
I've gotten a couple of responses now from the Grassroots Nation bulk email a lot of us sent.

____________________________________________

Dear US Cellular Customer,

Thanks for visiting our website and taking the time to write to us.

As a non-partisan corporation, U.S. Cellular does not take a position in the presidential race. We have no plans to cancel our advertising on Sinclair affiliates. 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 within two hours of the program's airing.

Thanks again for contacting U.S. Cellular.

U.S. Cellular Internet Team
_______________________________________________

Thank you for your email. We agree with you. We are in
discussions now with the station's management and have asked that they
reconsider their decision.

Marketing Manager
Kanoski & Associates

Anyone else get any from other advertisers?

2. No. I haven't got one reply.
I expected to be flooded with e-mail today. Maybe we overloaded their servers. LOL....

5. The reply I received from US Cellular was the same as above but
it was signed by the CEO and made it clear their ads were not to run 2 hours before or after and not during the show"

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

6. Write them back and say.....Non partisian my butt ! We know
who you support and by this display of LYING in your email of being non partisian, and your obvious unethical, greediness, YOU WILL FEEL this in your pocketbook. Half of America does not want this aired? Which half has your service? HUH? Ready to gamble ! This does not end after the airing. You will pay for a very long time with your decision. Oh by the way this is my UN biased opinion.
