Will DirecTV Save Show For Fans?

It appears that a program named Moonlight that airs on CBS has met with the chopping block and the fans are fighting back by asking in a big way that Direct TV pick it up.

The program while it might not be the sports event of the year has a following of fans that do not want to see it end and want something done about it and rather than sit and complain about it they have organized to get their Friday night program back.

The program is about a detective who is a vampire, has a girlfriend who is not and solves crimes, often with the help of the vampire community. It is also sandwiched in between two other popular programs that complete the Friday night lineup with solving crimes and dealing with ghosts.

While it might not be a complete night for men it is for women on television, this front is so organized that they have taken their demand to keep this program on the air to DirecTV.

They also have a message board where they not only discuss the program they have a poll to keep it on the air that will be sent to DirecTV who asked for it and would like to know how many of these fans would change to DirecTV should they pick it up like they have other popular programs that were canceled.

This poll has entries for those who have DirecTV Deals already, those who will switch and those who will not change their current provider. The percentage for those who will switch so they can see their favorite Friday nigh program is 71% of the votes.

The fan base within the first twenty-four hours of the poll had more than 1300 voters at Moonlight Line.

There is also a page where fans and non-fans are letting their thoughts be known after an article that let the Internet public know about these fans and their plight. This can be found at Mark’s Sci-Fi / Fantasy Blog.

The big question that is left is what will DirecTV decide, either way it shows DirecTV has their subscribers and future subscribers in mind with their programming line up.

Soccer Fans Will See A Change

Mid June is not just vacation time for some it is time for the soccer fan to begin tuning in to the Fox Soccer Channel that will be found on channel 619. Currently on channel 613 the switch over will begin on June 11^th and other than the change there will be no change in the same great soccer matches and sports shows.

For the soccer fan that is new to DirecTV this is a channel that can’t be missed with the world-class soccer programming that is offered on the Fox Soccer Channel. Some of what will be seen on this channel is England’s Barclays Premier League, Argentine First Division and Italy’s Series A league. There are matches like the UEFA Cup, the World Cup, the English FA Cup and more of these not to be missed tournaments. There are also college soccer matches and the Major Indoor Soccer League.

For a new or old soccer fans this is programming not to be missed during soccer season because there will not be the amount or quality of soccer games and tournaments found on other networks and don’t let the change fool you, the same great programming will be seen on channel 619 as it was on channel 613.

Is It Green Or Is It Greens?

The satellite company that brings the golf channel into your home with the greens of professional golfing tournaments is now also bringing green to their company outlook.

For anyone who is concerned with the planet they know what it takes to make paper, the loss of perfectly healthy trees, the pollution of the fuel that will transport the trees to the paper mill and then add to that the amount of power that will be used and chemicals to produce paper.

Once this paper is produced and companies use them to mail customers their bills along with other literature using ink that has chemicals and that will all eventually end up in a dump someplace. Then add to that the fuel that was used to carry this mail to millions of homes. It all adds up to a lot of pollution when each step is looked at and combined.

To stop this vicious cycle one satellite company has stood up and said no more and that company is Direct Tv that has gone green.

Now they offer customers paperless billing, email updates on their services and an auto bill pay for those who choose it, plus there is a $20.00 incentive to go green with the satellite company.

This might not sound like a large dent in the environment but when everything is totaled up and then multiplied by millions it is a big enough dent that if other companies followed in their path the environment would be better for it.
