Public response has proven to be effective, at least inasmuch as it begins dialogue. Recent examples: Super Bowl, Monday Night Football pregame, Dan Rather. The list could go on.
This isn't a case where anyone has broken an FCC law or anything that serious. It's a case of someone being irritating. I used to be in the TV business. For each e-mail received about a show, the tv networks have a formula for how many people that e-mail probably represents. When they get a bunch of e-mails about Billy Packer, they'll be thrilled that so many people are interested enough in their broadcast to take the time to send them an e-mail.

Maybe you could set up a trap and catch Mr. Packer in a compromising position with a sheep. Then you might have a way to force early retirement.
