I saw this suggestion on the site that shall not be named.
Find a Nexstar or Sinclair owned channel, note the advertisers in there, and start shaming them for paying money to advertise on those networks. Literally 50% of their revenue comes from ads so gutting that would make a difference
Yeah, pressure at all levels.
You can also look at a local station's website and see advertising partners. Not the little fish that buy 1-2 ads a year for a local business, the ones that get their ads ran the most and in the best timeslots.
That's where pressure is best applied on affiliates
That’s sick. Much easier to do and much easier to scrape and compile.
