Keith won't be there until Tuesday.

5. Send a message to your Cable/TV provider too
Turn off your TV during the KO show time on Monday.

13. I don't understand
why I have to turn the TV off. Why isn't having it on a different channel good enough? If I turn the TV off, it's like I'm not at home to them. If I have it on a different channel, it shows that I chose to watch something else.

16. Well, I know that.
I'm just trying to find out how turning the TV OFF will mean anything more to MSNBC than watching another channel. The technical reason.

15. We have had MSNBC off since this started unfolding yesterday.
I wanted to make the larger point of a network without KO on would not have viewership from our home.

17. Do what you want
but I don't think they really did anything wrong. He violated company policy, and they gave him a brief suspension to show they have more integrity than certain other networks. His popularity improved and he'll be back soon.
