ABC 5 in Minneapolis to Viewers: Don’t Blame Us. The Network Made Us Do It!
Many television viewers have called or written to us to share their opinion of the ABC Special “Path to 9/11”. We may not all agree on the subject matter of certain programming, but Channel 5 does believe it is important to share information (often controversial) in order to bring different points of view into the public discourse.
Also, as the ABC affiliate, Channel 5 broadcasts ABC network programming but does not determine the content of it. We are the only locally-owned television station serving the Twin Cities, and hope that you will judge ABC network offerings separately from Channel 5’s own local news and public affairs programming.
As a matter of public record, your feedback is included in our public file. We also suggest that you make your opinion known to the originator of the program: ABCNEWS. To help, here is the contact information:
ABC Audience Information Department at 818/460-7477. You may also contact the network via email to abc.audience.relations@abc.com, or by visiting the network’s websites www.abc.com or www.abcnews.com.Again, we appreciate your feedback and do hope that you will continue to watch Channel 5.
Sincerely,
Mike Smith
Director of Programming and Operations
KSTP-TV & KSTC.TV
What are the locals telling you?
