  •  That stinks (none / 0)

    Home Depot being bad hurts my letter as well.

    Dear Valued Loweâ€TMs Customer,

    Thank you for your comment regarding concerns about advertising on the Sinclair Broadcasting network.  Loweâ€TMs does not advertise in political programming.  We will not advertise within this political documentary, nor will the companyâ€TMs local advertising appear anytime during the day this documentary airs.  

    As far as advertising on the Sinclair group of stations as a whole, Loweâ€TMs advertising agency is in contact with Sinclair to learn more about the program, and our company will make a decision about future advertising at a later time.

    Loweâ€TMs has a strict company policy specifying that its advertising is not to run in controversial programming.  The company advertises primarily in national, network prime-time television programs and on select local stations and cable outlets.  Because Sinclair owns 62 television stations reaching 24 percent of all television households, some Loweâ€TMs advertising may appear on those stations from time to time, but again, not in close proximity to the controversial documentary you mentioned.

    We appreciate your contacting us, and hope this information addresses your concerns.\

    I'm not so much interested in investing as I am at boycotting your stores because you haven't pulled you advertisement money from Sinclair owned stations.  I've typically passed the Home Depot near my house to shop at Lowes for my house projects because of your superior service and products.  You won't see another dime until you pull advertising from Sinclair owned stations.
