The people you need to hassle are Ftn so complain to them.

Don't see why you want to complain to Noels Broadcasting Company

Someone on DS has already emailed FTN, they said it was pulled because of ratings...

That's hard to understand as no one watches anything else on FTN...

That's why we're seeing how far the petition will go... please sign...

Pulled because of ratings! Thats becuase its on at about 2am in the morning, who's watching then. Fortunately used to Sky+ it. Would like to see it back. Although I do prefer The Late Show with David Letterman better.

Hi,

Leno is only on at weekends, we'd like it shown every night

Letterman is a CBS show, so unlikely to be shown on CNBC...

There's no phone...

If you don't like it - don't watch it...

You might like watching 10 losers sit in a house for 2 months and get paid to mess around... I don't...

We all have different opinions...

If you don't watch it because it's from the US and you don't like them - well you're missing a great show... among others...

I don't think they show every episode from the week before either, just 2 or 3...
