Citizens reading names of fallen soldiers outside WLOS in Asheville

WLOS, the ABC affiliate in our region, and owned by Sinclair, just reported that about 100 persons are reading the names of the fallen soldiers outside their studios in Asheville, NC. We should be proud of these people for their efforts.

WLOS, meantime, is airing a damage control piece put together by "NewsCentral", Sinclair's "news" operation.

WHNS, a FOX Entertainment affiliate in Greenville, SC, has picked up the ABC feed (they are not an ABC affiliate) and is broadcasting NightLine. WHNS serves the same market as WLOS. We should also be proud of the efforts of these people as well.

6. Is The A List Of Stations...

...in markets that Sinclair owns that did the unusual thing of picking up the ABC feed?

I read that Pax-TV in St. Louis did as well as NECN and now this station. If someone has a more complete list, it'd be nice to write and email thank-yous to these people for stepping up and bypass this blatant act of censorship and partisanship. Let those who do the right thing know it twice as loud as those who do wrong.
