LIST networks that didn't show "60 Minutes" Lastnight HERE

"Last night, many local CBS affiliates, all over this country had sudden "transmission" problems, for a variety of reasons."

1. WAFB in Baton Rouge, LA

Lets start an email and letter writing campaign about this dispicable sensorship. Also, if you can, post email addresses of senators and contacts at the station.

1. Indianapolis, sort of

It ran at 9 pm instead of its usual 8pm slot. However, that was with virtually no notice. First they bumped it to 2am and then at the last minute--public pressure?--they put it back to 9pm. I don't have access to the overnight ratings but I bet they were much lower than they would have been had they left it in its normal time slot.

Originally it was moved due to a one-hour local special, 50 years of WISH-TV.

2. article

There was a very extensive article about this written at RawStory/BlueLemur. It's definitely worth a read.

It also lists possible motivation for this media sensation at the local level. Some of these local affiliates, like WAFB, WYOU, KWTV plan to rebroadcast it at dead time like 2:00 or 3:00 AM, when of course nobody is watching.
