You don't have to show that stuff, Can't you show us some respect
Email exchange between me and the General Manager of WSET (local ABC affiliate):
My Email:
This email is in regard to promotions for the Oprah Winfrey Show that aired today, Saturday August 19, during Saturday morning programming aimed at children and rated accordingly. I was watching with my three daughters, ages 9, 9 and 5, when promotions for upcoming Oprah winfrey shows regarding teachers having sex with their students and 13 year olds having sex aired. I changed the channel quickly, but am sure that my daughters heard as much as I did. Airing promos for the Oprah Winfrey Show and other adult themed shows during programming intended for children is intirely inappropriate and irresponsible. In the future, I would hope that you would ensure that the content of the commercials and promos that you run is appropriate to the shows during which they are being aired.
General Manager's Response:
Thanks for bringing this situation to our attention. We have taken steps to further reduce the liklihood of this happening again.
