Yes, indeed, we are upset about the intruptiona and discontinuing of the Hallmark movie. We have been looking forward to this event for quite some time and have set aside our time to participate. We also admire and respect President Gordon B. Hinckley and are moved in the news of his passing. And we appreciate the immediate notification of his death. However, the intrupting prattle about President Hinckleys life and death is so mundane and ill prepared as to be very irritating. You could have waited and schedule a quality time and prepared a presentation with some quality content that your audience would look forward to appreciating. Instead you make some rude comment on the air that "thats just the way it is" or "you can call in all you want but we think this is important" and then you continue to show the same pictures over and over and over again ad nausium. The Hallmark programing is also important programing and it is some of the few quality programs that are aired and we look forward to them.
Sorry but we think you are rude and insensitive. All the other local channels presented the new information and then continued with their scheduled programs.
