TO CONTACT NEXSTAR AND SINCLAIR ABOUT THE CENSORSHIP OF JIMMY KIMMEL ... WHAT YOU NEED TO DO.
To protest Jimmy Kimmel's censorship on Nexstar and Sinclair, find the sponsors for the two companies and send them a letter stating that you will not be buying their products until they stop sponsoring censorship.
1. Check to see if you have a Sinclair or Nexstar station in your area.
Identify your local Sinclair stations. You can find a list of stations on the Sinclair Broadcast Group website or on Wikipedia.

2. Compile a list of advertisers. Watch the local news and note the companies that run commercials. Focus on local businesses, as they are often more susceptible to public feedback than national corporations.
3. Find the right contact. Call the company or visit their website to find the name of the marketing manager or public relations department. Addressing a specific person is more effective than "To Whom It May Concern".
4. Write a Letter of Protest
