NBCUniversal Restricting playoff game this weekend to peacock channel only

Because you, the NFL, and NBC are sooo greedy, you've decided to show the Chiefs/Dolphins game ONLY on Peacock Premium Channel this Saturday.

Just weighing in with, no doubt, tens of thousands of others' COMPLAINING about what bunch of greedy people you are to ONLY have Peacock subscribers see the game!

Unbelievable!

PLEASE change this so ALL the people wanting to see their favorite teams, or the folks that Just Like Football can see the gosh darn game.

IF you don't change this, we'll join with those, no doubt, tens of thousands of others writing to you and BOYCOTTING ALL advertisers & encourage our families and friends to, as well.

Maybe then you'll realize your greedy idea is a loser!

Claimed loss: my desire to buy products I enjoy because boycotting them is my only apparent option.

Desired outcome: CHANGE THE CHANNEL OPTION AND ADD REGULAR NBC to the options this weekend!

NBCUniversal 4th of July in NYC 2023

July 4, 2023 aired in NYC. I was very disappointed at the 4th of July premiere in NYC. It’s a day of America’s Independence. They did not play any songs except 1 about our brave soldiers. Instead the music was rap, and all black singers that sang songs that were Not patriotic. How about the song “some gave all”, or America the Beautiful? No it seemed like you wanted to impress the blacks, but not our brave soldiers. I changed the channel, the whole thing made me sick! It’s about honoring our soldiers.

Desired outcome: Did my show that again. Show another state that honors those who died for our country

NBCUniversal Saturday Night Live

I am responding to the episode that aired on Saturday, Feb 25, 2023 at the East Palestine train derailment.

Shame on you for taking a tragedy that Americans are facing and using it as the butt of your jokes. Americans are suffering and you use their tragedy to bolster laughs for your show... That's appalling on so many levels. Shame on you, but it doesn't affect you, right? Did the people of East Palestine poke fun at any of the tragedies that New York faced? No, but you don't think twice about making fun of their tragedy. What is it... Middle American, the people of the heartland, do they not matter... Do you think they won't mind or is it that you just think that they are too dumb to care? Well guess what... They do care and they have way more class than any of your producers that gave the go-ahead on this skit and they have way more integrity than any of the actors that chose to go along with this skit. I'm curious... Did anyone say, "This is a bad idea"? Thanks for showing that you put politics over integrity, that you put politics over empathy, and that the good citizens of the United States of America are just pawns in your game. Again... Shame on you!

NBCUniversal USA Network wwe white power hand symbols

On 9 19 2022, the "wwe Monday night Raw" telecast featured a performer named "Baylay" who appeared to flash "white power hand symbols" reminiscent of ones that were flashed in recent West Point racism incidents that made the news and most notoriously on an episode of the Jeopardy game show last season.

The flashing of the white power hand symbols occurred during the Bayley character's ring entrance and speaking segment in ring. Bayley also made similar hand gestures on a 09 05 2022 telecast of the RAW program on USA network. She flashes the white power hand symbol in the closing half minute of a confrontation with an African American talent performer named "Bianca"...This happens in the original video that aired and is quite unmistakable as three fingers extended with an okay symbol. The symbols are easily internet searched. Video stills are also available.

Other incidents also flashing white power symbolism might have happened on a wwe broadcast on FOX network involving performer "Liv Tyler" on 09 09 2022. WWE does appear to have intentional pattern of making performers flash these symbols, maliciously, for context.

It may have also happened again on "NXT" telecast of an early women's match tonight, 09 20 2022, on USA network also. I will have to forward this concern also to the fcc, as the wwe does not seem to be concerned with the hateful, alienating symbolism gestures as is. Please perform sensitivity quality control on your content, so it's not intentional racist. Thank you.

Desired outcome: Should be investigation and accountability, possible removal of program if no regard for promoting hate speech.

NBCUniversal baseball announcers

I have been watching baseball all my 77 years and i have never heard so much gossip going on with the game announcers! they never stop talking about all other things that are not relevant to the game itself! they talk and talk and talk about everything but what is going on in the field! a batter gets up and only when something out of the ordinary happens do they change the subject! please just call the game and things relevant to the game at hand! many times i just turn off the volume to watch the game! very frustrating to hear about the players lives and personalities or other family member, totally wrong! just call the game like they are supposed to do and get paid for! not interested in hearing about a guest they bring on and give a life history of the time they were players, and the inning ends and not one call was ever made! thank you for the understanding!

NBCUniversal Tonight show guests registration

Hello it is weird to hear the rule about guest registration, that I have to know someone who is working for the show.

I’m foreigner I haven’t gotten a change to meet someone, yet😀, maybe it is because only two days I’m here, otherwise 😂.

Anyway I wish I have a way to register, since if I have a visa to come here I’m safe person, right. At least they could have ask my document or some change to take a look at.

It is just unfair, hope it’ll change in the future. If it changes in a day this is my number🤗 +[protected].

NBCUniversal Ads and poor timing

Dear NBCUniversal and all representatives,

Although we enjoyed watching on your platform, we were very disappointed with how you mislead your customers.

1. Purchasing the ad "free" plan. That option turned out not to be the case as they were "selected" commercials that were airing throughout. I encourage that you may find new ways to make it more clear for people (i.e. just be straight forward with it) and not have to go on google to find how your reviews were poor because of this option. If you are the best network, please have a better way to reflect that to future customers. You can do it

2. Poor timing. Many of the shows we watched were live. It became uncomfortably strange when commercials would be airing during times we were watching. For example, the half pipe finals for both the male and female athletes. We were watching 3-4 mins of commercials during the times when the athletes were on. Particularly during the timing of when China was on. We watched back to back commercials until all of the athletes completed their run. This was not just China but other selected countries as well. You guys have the power to paint something better that reflects all the colors of your logo. As a well respected network, I hope that you continue to correct these notes in your future for your future customers. It's 2022 and more inclusion is needed more than ever so please do so. I have discounted my membership and will unlikely return back.

-All love just business

Desired outcome: Just do it

NBCUniversal local affiliate disinterested in signal quality

My region is 'served' by KVLY, a license owned by Gray Television. For several months now the strength and quality of its signal over 11-1 is inferior and subject to digital shreddiing and dropouts in both visual and audio channels. They are aware of the issue, at one point claiming DirecTV was at fault, but no longer answers my queries regarding what they (KVLY) are doing to fix their signal quality issues.-a

Clearly, the problem is not one of my distance as it happens over-the-air and on DirecTV and at several homes located closer than mine to their broadcast tower.

Consequently, when I have a choice, I avoid watching Gray Television managed outlets and therefore NBC programming and sponsors . Their unresponsiveness is not "operating in the public interest" and runs counter to their FCC license.

Desired outcome: I'd like my station locally-owned. As that isn't going to happen, Gray needs to be required to fix their probem.m

Desired outcome: Lower the background volume

NBCUniversal YouTubeTV

I noticed that NBC Universal is advertising on my television screen to go to Youneedmorechannels.com .

So, I checked out the website, and read, "NBC Universal doesn't like involving audiences in this process but feels a responsibility to inform YouTube TV subscribers and potential YouTube TV subscribers, that 14+ of their favorite channels may be dropped."

Well, I feel a responsibility as well ...

If this is accurate, and NBC Universal is actually trying to bully a service into paying more, which would only get passed on to the customers, then I say they should drop you.

NBC Universal loses in the long run which is why they are attempting this campaign. Plenty of other content out there. Bye bye NBC.

NBCUniversal Beach volleyball olympics

It's irritating to try to watch the beach volleyball gold medal match and you keep cutting to commercial during live play. The split screen is too small to see the game going on during commercial. You wouldn't do this during a live play of the NFL. We miss a few points every time you go to commercial. Then you all show us the athletes when they are in a timeout. Please try to show the action of the game when it's happening.

Desired outcome: Stop playing so many commercials

NBCUniversal Ethics violation by Nicole Wallace

It was reported today that Nicole Wallace said that "doughy, white right-leaning losers" criticizing Simone Biles withdrawing from the Olympics are "f'd up". How can those comments be acceptable and not violate NBC Universal's ethics policy? She has insulted everyone who I has criticized Biles, who should have withdrawn before going to the Olympics if she has mental health issues. These comments from Wallace are par for the course. She has a history of demeaning and name-calling anyone who does not support her far-left views.

Desired outcome: Fire Nicole Wallace for repeated incendiary, divisive remarks against white males and conservatives.

NBCUniversal Olympic camera work

This morning I watched my first section of the 2021 Olympic women's gymnastics. The camera work is not up to par. The first thing I saw was the female gymnastics taking off their outer gear. The cameraman focused on their crotch area and bottoms. I watched for about 10 minutes and this focus was constant. If the camera wasn't focused on their crotch, then the camera was focused on their bodies from the chest up. For long periods of time. The camera work should have focused on the performance.

I think the same situation has occurred in the past. All cameramen need to be sensitive and aware that it's not OK to sexualize women's bodies while they are performing an Olympic sport, or anytime for that matter. I feel bad for those young girls who are being treated this way. Whoever is in charge at NBC needs to fix the situation. It is very noticeable and not ok.

Desired outcome: Today is the first day of the Olympics. Communicate this situation to your team now.

NBCUniversal SNL on 2-20-21

Good evening, last night Saturday Night Live aired a segment on Weekemd Update that was offensive and unnecessary to Jewish people. The comment alleged that half of Israel had been vaccinated and, of course, it must be the Jewish half. Please be considerate of all cultures when allowing your show to represent all populations.

NBCUniversal Feedback

We are sick of having our soap opera (days of our lives) taken off the air every time anything at all comes up.. We have been stuck inside our homes practically all the time for a year and yet we can't even sit down and watch our soap anymore. Why do you always use our time slot at one o'clock. I am so tired of things we are not interested in at all (like the impeachment hearings) if we agreed with this mess it would be different but its such a crock till it's laughable. I can understand breaking news or a funeral but it has been sports, politics, nasty riots that should have been stopped before they started. All we want to do is sit down and peacefully watch a soap opera we've watched for 30 years or more. Please stop always taking our show off. I guess if you lose us soapers you want have us watching anytime.

Desired outcome: Stop using our time slot 1-2 for everything else. That solves it

NBCUniversal Trump town hall

I find it very upsetting that nbc will host trump the same time and night as Biden. This is giving trump just what he wants. He refused the original debate and now he gets his own stage. Of course he will get more views than Biden so people can watch him lie. I will not be watching anymore nbc news which was my go to station and will switch to abc. This was a big mistake.
