What is the deal with local CBS HD in Grand Rapids, Michigan?

I'm thinking about starting an email campaign with the local affiliate's (CBS 6 WRGB Albany) sponsors just to make sure they are aware that the local is withholding thier advertising from DISH customers. Anyone try this already?

I thought about it myself, but I realized that the same advertisers run ads on all the local stations, sometimes at the same time. Turning frim one channel to the other, you have Mike the Russian, Fuccillo (yes it is huuuggghh), various ligitators, and male anhancement commercials. The number of customers they fail to reach on 6 HD is small. The more effective campaign would be to target the shareholders of Freedom Corp, explaining they are losing revenue while their company is tanking. There is good economic incentive for them to accept what Dish is offering and having that revenue come in.

But are they losing revenue if the sponsors don't know we can't watch?
