Enough citizens of Wichita called up KSNW, Channel 3 and complained about the censorship of "The Book of Daniel" that the station had to reverse its decision and air the show.
According to The Wichita Eagle, Jan. 07, 2006:
“Saying that it had received hundreds of calls and e-mails protesting its decision to take "The Book of Daniel" off the air, KSNW, Channel 3, changed its mind and Friday night ran the new show after all.”
Also: “But on Friday, after the station received another flood of calls and e-mails protesting the cancellation, it reinstated the show.
KSNW programmer Betty Erickson, who estimated the counter-protests "in the hundreds," said the reprieve was only for the two-hour pilot episode.”
A campaign against the show buy local fundamentalist churches resulted in the station deciding not to air the show. Some local Christian fascist fundamentalists said it would be offensive. Few had seen the show and their main complaint was that ‘Jesus or god seemed too human to them.’
I didn’t get to watch the whole show, but I seriously doubt if most Christians were upset by it or offended in any way.
