WNCX is owned by Infinity Broadcasting, which is in turn owned by CBS, which was just bought by Viacom. The big broadcast outfits, in a continual drive to cut costs, pull stunts like this all the time. I just simply do not know that they'd care if anyone complained. That having been said, if you were going to complain, you still should. Just don't expect a miracle. -- North Shore Technologies, Cleveland, OH http://NorthShoreTechnologies.net Steve Sobol, BOFH - President, Chief Website Architect and Janitor Linux Instructor, PC/LAN Program, Natl.
