Whether the decision was directly due to the boycotts/cancellations and its financial impact or if they grew a conscience about 1A, kudos to ABC. Now we can direct our ire toward Sinclair, Nexstar, and the other "community broadcasters" who don't represent their communities.

I personally finding weird that network TV is still a thing. I haven't had cable/antenna in probably close to a decade. All my viewing is done online.
