Two NBC affiliates are turning the page on upcoming series The Book of Daniel. A pair of stations owned by Nexstar Broadcasting Group, KARK-TV in Little Rock, Ark., and WTWO-TV in Terre Haute, Ind., announced Wednesday they would pre-empt Daniel, which has been drawing viewer complaints and condemnation from the conservative watchdog group American Family Assn. for portraying Christianity in an unflattering light, when it premieres Friday at 9 p.m. KARK-TV declined to air Daniel citing "careful consideration" of viewer feedback. Little Rock's WB affiliate, KWBF-TV, will air Daniel instead. However, WTWO general manager Duane Lammers made clear in an interview that he is not pre-empting Daniel due to its content but rather to protest what he views as the networks' strong-arm approach to affiliates, as well inconsistent federal oversight of indecent content.
