Write to Channel 10 about
the program:
As well as mentioning why
you are concerned about this
program being shown, you could
express concern about them
promoting a quiz show involving
5th graders, called 'Are you
smarter than a 5th grader?'
during 'Californication'.

Contacting the advertisers.
In
writing letters please write
POLITELY! Ask them if they
know their ad was on (unless
you know it is a repeat ad!),
tell them about the program,
ask them not to advertise
on it, and ask for a response.
I have attached a list of
MELBOURNE advertisers on 24
September. I am collating
the other states as we receive
the information - we will
send those out later in the
week. PLEASE contact the companies
- using emails or online forms
- the more letters they receive
the more likely they are to
respond favourably. Some companies
tell us they are 'monitoring
feedback' before making a
decision!
