Mad Men horrible transmission problems

After much anticipation, I finally got to sit down and watch the final-season premiere of Mad Men.

How can I file a complaint about the SEWS channel lineup?

We’re very disappointed that you’re no longer showing the Virginian. Men of Shiloh is not nearly as good. Please consider putting The Virginian back on from Season 1, Episode 1 forward for those of us who started watching in the last season! Men of Shiloh is not near as good. Thank you, the Weltzien
