I don't share Grunger's optimism that complaining will do anything.

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.
