Because of your efforts, NBC cancels 'Book of Daniel'
DearRev. Bob Jankowski
NBC's anti-Christian program The Book of Daniel has been cancelled! Your efforts, combined with those of hundreds of thousands of other AFA Online supporters, had an impact.

NBC's decision to pull The Book of Daniel shows the power of the pocketbook. NBC didn't want to eat their economic losses. Had NBC not had to eat millions of dollars each time it aired, NBC would have kept The Book of Daniel on the air. Because of your efforts, the sponsors dropped the program. NBC then decided it didn't want to continue the fight.

Even an impassioned plea by Daniel's producer Jack Kenny could not match your participation. "Ordinarily, I would never ask anyone to do this, but the AFA and bullies like them are hard at work to try and prevent you from seeing these beautiful shows, and that is censorship"”pure and simple. And that is both un-Christian and un-American," Kenny wrote. His attitude is typical in today"™s society. Non-Christians telling Christians what is Christian.

People like Kenny don't want people like you to have a voice. They want to deny you the right to get involved. You are supposed to sit back and take the trash. And when you do speak up they call you names.

This shows us that we don't have to simply sit back and take the trash, but we can get involved and fight back with our pocketbooks. I want to thank the 678,394 individuals who sent emails to NBC and the thousands who called and emailed their local affiliates.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved!
Sincerely,
Donald E. Wildmon, Chairman

We're on the AFA mailing list too and we got involved as wel. I was glad to hear they removed this trash from the airwaves.

Made me feel nice and warm inside, the network could have cared less, but when sponsors start pulling thier ads due to Christians concerns/dislikes it says a lot for the advertisers and shows that united we do stand and count for something, even if it is only money in thier pockets.... or lack there of!

I have mixed feelings regarding this matter. Although I don't like what I heard about the program, it bothers me that all it takes is money to shut down a program on the "public" airway. Will pro Christain programming one day be shut down if it is someday found to be not financially beneficial to a network? I don't have a solution, just expressing some mixed feelings.

It's called the free market. It's driven by various forces, one of which is demand.
