I have DISH and I can honest-to-God say that I don't even know where CBS is on the channel line-up. NOBODY watches the "tiffany" network, except for a few shut-ins and mountain-dwellers that can't get any other channels.

CBS must have bargain-basement ad rates to attract national brands to their broadcasts. I'd be one PO'ed stockholder if I thought my investments were paying for top-dollars ads on that eleventh-rated network-for-the-nobodies.

I like your idea. You may be able to find some assistance and resources at the Citizens Coalition for Responsible Media.

This is good idea. You ought to start a thread on it and see what kind of response you get.

So far it's pretty slow but I will wait an see. I was contacted by the head of the FRNetwork. That person had some good ideas, offered PR support as well as a private discussion area on FR to hammer out the details. Now, we just have to see if anyone is interested enough to commit their time.
