This morning I posted a press release from the United Church of Christ announcing plans to challenge the pending license renewals of two CBS and NBC owned television stations because of the network’s decision to ban a UCC commercial promoting Jesus’ extravagant welcome. Click here to read the release.
Shortly after posting that I release I took part in a conference call with officials from the United Church of Christ and other bloggers to discuss how we might ensure that the public airways are open to all and not just those who support the political positions of the White House.
What can you do to help? Here is what the UCC is asking of folks:
It's time to take back the airwaves. Click here to send an "informal objection" to the FCC to support UCC's petition challenging pending license renewals of CBS and NBC-owned TV stations in Florida.
