I was curious if there was a new episode that ran. My guide showed one, but I recorded a Billy Graham telethon instead.

Yup. New episode called Wing and a Prayer.

I thought so, but my local affiliate ran a Billy Graham crusad3e instead. Does anyone know who to contact to complain?

Yeah, you can call the GM of the local affiliate that ran the Gramham show. He'll probably listen politely and thank you for your comments.

But, the fact is, that BG Inc. paid the station more for that time slot that the network would have. And, the GM's main responsibility is to the shareholders/board/owners.

Now, at my old station, we would usually record the net feed and air the scheduled program at another time, usually over night. You could ask if they do that. (Not all local stations do).

Thanks for the advice, they will definitely hearing from me. Maybe I will pull a shawshank redemption on them, call every hour on the hour until I get results.. I guess to me it just doesn't make sense that a local affiliate could choose not to run a show especially a prime time show. I could understand if I had a choice of where I wanted to watch ABC, but since I am not allowed to get nor do I have access to any other ABC feed it doesn't make sense to me.

Just got my other TiVo back up and running. I have been having problems with it but it did get MDs before I unhooked it to remove the hard drives. I can't promise that it won't have skips and glithces but I could archive it and send it to you.
