NBC is too convoluted and weighed down. NBC was owned by General Electric for decades. Then it was owned by NBC.Universal.
Now NBC is fully owned by Comcast.

Per wikipedia, "On February 12, 2013, Comcast announced an intention to acquire the remaining 49% of General Electric's interest in NBCUniversal. Comcast completed the purchase on March 19, 2013."
Source: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/feb/12/entertainment/la-et-ct-comcast-acquires-all-of-nbcuniversal-20130212

To continue what I was saying here ...
Who do we complain to then?
To Comcast? To the FCC? To whom?

The best thing to do is to contact the network and praise their realistic (?) portrayal of a gay couple co-parenting a young daughter. Thank them for keeping the storyline and let them know that you will continue to watch the story develop. That will get more attention than bitter squealing about a 4-second snippet in a 17-second promo that airs only when the local affiliates can't sell the airtime.

That's a good idea. They need to see that the positive responses are greater than the negative.

I can't remember where I read it, but I recall someone writing about advertisers pulling commercials when they get negative letters about them because they have no way of knowing how many people feel positive about them.

Which I can understand, because unless a commercial becomes such an absolute hit that regular people will make, seek out and buy t-shirts from it-BUD-WISE-ER frogs, Can you hear me Now?-or it becomes a catch-phrase or running joke that's used in everyday conversation- Where's the beef? I saved money on my car insurance! So easy a cave man can do it!- Or sales skyrocket, how can they really know?

Bigots who hate other races, ethnicities, homosexuals, will take the time out of their day to search out the right address, make out an envelope, physically write a letter, then go all the way to the post office to purchase a stamp before mailing the letter.

How many people will pause American Idol so they can go to all that trouble because they simply must tell the advertisers that they really loved the way that woman poured milk on her cereal, or how shiny the floor looked on the t.v.?

Just saw the promo on network tv this AM during the Today Show coverage of the Olympics. Hmmm..maybe this is part of the sick justification for leaving Wilson out of the promo.
