Well here in Chattanooga, TN we couldn't see it. It was really disappointing. I have no idea why we couldn't watch it. I called WRCB and they told me their lawyers told them they couldn't air it.......sounds like BS to me.

The talking heads on the KC affliate's news said that they weren't showing SNL because of a Missouri "equal time" law.

Correct. Remember, almost all primaries occur between Jan-March7, so everyone is trying to make sure they don't get caught in Equal time.

Missouri "equal time" law.

Missouri has it own equal time laws? I find that hard to believe since the FCC is a Federal agency but I guess nothing is out of the question.

As for the local stations making up their own decision not to air the program, it’s nothing more then a case of small timers acting big.

Thats what Biff and/or Buffy said. No idea if its true, but thats what they said.

I just e-mailed my local station (Northern California) and complained about them not showing the sharpton episode. I doubt it will help.
