I just e-mailed Blinko again. This is driving me crazy. Since they
always broadcast CNN and FAUX, why the sporadic broadcast of MSNBC?

MY first reply from them weeks ago was very nice and they informed me that their business was not to broadcast Cable shows, rather to have you review their services to somehow allow you all to become part of the broadcasting industry. Fine, I understand that. What I asked this time is, why CNN, FAUX, are always there. Their local channels I understand. I mentioned to them that with the popularity and high ratings of KO, Rachel and other MSNBC shows, they are missing a broad and educated audience. I also asked if they were requested not to broadcast MSNBC.

We'll see if they reply to me. They were very nice before, Maybe they will think I'm a pest but I still have not found a way to watch except the next day on Countdown's site. Somehow that always seems to take the spontaneity out of it.

Maybe I just have too much idle time today.

3. You know, I would pay to subscribe to online viewing...
But, I am infrequent enough in terms of tv viewing that I'm neither going to pay for cable or certainly not satellite.

An aside, do you really think in this economy that EVERYONE can afford dish network? Just sayin...

2. Would mind pm'ing me when you get an answer?
I've been wondering myself what the issue is... I note that other (rare) secondary MSNBC streams on other sites tend to disappear just about as fast as they are put up--plus they appear to only handle a very few number of viewers, so they crash..

Thanks for inquiring...;)

4. Be glad to, They took a few days before so if they answer, I'll
drop you a PM. Heck I might also post it for others to see.

The only reason I keep miserable cable is because I get a discount on Internet if I keep the basic.

The TV does not go on for weeks at a time. It will watch tonight when Obama speaks. Other than that, off it goes.

I don't want to watch the soul-saving, on-line shopping, foreign language speaking, 3 station PBS'ing (pledge weeking) choices I have.

This long winter has me going nuts. Its been about 20 books and still counting. Cold and nasty in these here parts! Job looking has been bleak, I'm getting cross eyed looking at various sites.
