When we were rudely surprised by the loss of LOST at showtime, my friend and I searched for information on the web and found the station's last minute "program note." We read the irate messages from other viewers and tried to post statements to express our own displeasure, but the site would not even accept them. Too full, perhaps? This morning, I tried to find the page to reenter my objection, but the station had removed the programming note, thereby deleting every last letter of censure from viewers. My guess is that the station was embarrassed by all the negative responses they received for moving LOST and plan to pretend the incident never happened. I watched the show on DVR tonight, but it was not as enjoyable. My friend and I prefer to watch together and discuss the new developments during commercials. WWAY is officially my least favorite local channel, based upon their poor decision. Further errors on their part may inspire a switch to satellite service. Surely other ABC affiliates will not be as foolish.
