Cable news these days is alarming, polarizing and divisive. Please don't force this on to the many different kinds of people that are merely in your building to work.
We ask that the channel be changed to something more neutral — we'd be happy with no news or even to lose the TVs entirely.

The feedback I have received confirms that many of you find the constant presence of cable news in the lobby to be a source of unnecessary stress. I am currently preparing a formal request to building management to explore more neutral programming options for our shared space.

The reception to this petition confirms that many others share the desire for a calmer environment in the Harwood Center lobby. This momentum demonstrates how widely felt the need for a neutral space truly is.

anything but the screaming heads. hgtv or literally just a weather map would be a million times better.
PLEASE. I just want to grab my coffee in peace without hearing about the end of the world before 9am.
I'm down with sports, weather, food....old reruns of 80's/90's sitcoms. Just no more politics please.
BREAKING NEWS: I just want to go to the lobby and get a bagel, not be assaulted by a panel of 6 experts yelling from 3 TVs that echo through the elevator banks!
Agreed - my constant commute between elevator banks often comes with a very disturbing news story. I don't like it.
Get this outta here
Fixer Upper or Ancient Aliens will please 99% of the population.
