Salt Lake City tv station refuses to air Cindy Sheehan ad
A tv station in Salt Lake City has refused to run an ad featuring Cindy Sheehan. This is a clear violation of their broadcast license. Here's the story:

1. Who advertises with them?
We must jump on this right away! Lets contact their five main sponsors and inform them we are boycotting their products. This well be an immediate consequence which is exactly what we need!

2. KTVX and FCC
I sent complaint e-mails to both Channel 4 and to the FCC.

3. Did they air Swift Boat ads?
I had just read the article on the ad refusal and came in here to check if the same network/station had aired the Swift Boat ads. Also, any other "inappropriate" PAC ads run by KTVX during the 2004 campaign.

Wondering if precedent was set during that period... if the SB ads ran, then these should be as well. Same thing if they ran ads slandering Democrats over the Roberts nominations.
