    My letter, in case you're interested

    For those who are interested, here is the letter I wrote to NBC, requesting the cancellation of "The Apprentice" due to the results of the Cancel One Show poll.

    Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment
    NBC
    30 Rockefeller Plaza
    New York, NY 10112


    Mr. Reilly:

    I am writing you on behalf of the readership of the Connecticut Post
    newspaper in Bridgeport, Conn. to request the cancellation of “The
    Apprentice.” I am the newspaper’s television critic, and I recently
    ran an online poll asking readers which of 10 television shows they
    would like to see canceled. When the poll began, I promised readers I
    would write the network of the show receiving the most votes, and ask
    for said show’s cancellation.

    Out of the 2,121 votes cast in the poll, 886 were in favor of
    canceling “The Apprentice.” The show received 40 percent of the vote,
    finishing far ahead of any other show. It also never moved out of the
    lead position during the nearly two weeks that we ran the poll.
    Because of this, I am writing to request that you take “The
    Apprentice” off the air.

    The Connecticut Post serves more than 75,000 readers in Fairfield and
    New Haven counties in Connecticut. I hope you will take this request
    into consideration.

    Regards,

    Amanda Cuda
