Quick background: NBC is airing a one hour 30 Rock special tonight that also serves as NBC's upfront presentation since Covid canceled the traditional upfronts. 30 Rock is one of my favorite shows of all time and I'm love following the TV industry so the chance to see an upfront, which are otherwise never publicly released, is a double whammy of greatness.

Apparently however my local NBC affiliate is not going to carry it because they say it is promoting NBC's new streaming service, Peakcock, and that is ultimately bad for them. As if streaming hasn't been a thing for 14 years now and a service called Peacock will be the death blow that ends broadcast TV.

So now I'm having to write a strongly worded letter of disappointment to our affiliate. It won't do anything, but it will make me feel better. Because fuck them.

A part of being an adult is knowing when to Karen.

Your local affiliate is owned by someone other than NBC (Sinclair for example). They don't want to help NBC's streaming division, hence the tantrum they're throwing here.

Reminds me of when my local cable company pitched a fit over carrying Spike TV so Viacom told them to pound sand and yanked all of their channels.

I'd still write to them to let them know you're displeased. You're the customer here.

Yes.

Did they film it remotely somehow, like the Parks & Rec special?

Oh, I know this is Scripps decision and that my station can do nothing about it, but still, I want my displeasure documented.

Also, Scripps is just being stupid. Okay, they win. I won't be able to watch 30 Rock tonight on their channel and thus won't be subjected to the promotion of Peacock. Do you know where I can and now will have to watch the special tomorrow? Peacock.
