Preemption of The Book of Daniel
WTWO refused to air NBC's The Book of Daniel after viewer objections to the show's religious themes. The decision was defended by then-general manager Duane Lammers, who cited the station's right to reject programming. NBC canceled the series after three episodes following poor ratings and affiliate preemptions.
