494.0. "WNDS Channel 50 goes Shopping" by EVMS::SCHUETZ (VMS Clusters Memory Channel 381-6075) Tue Apr 08 1997 19:32

    This is the information I have if anyone wants to complain
    about WNDS channel 50 being turned into yet another shopping channel.

    Thanks for the information. 
    
    It is really discouraging to see shopping channels take over
    the airwaves.

    	db - who HATES shopping channels and deletes them from his
    	     channel lists and who will petition the cable companies
    	     to use the slot for the "channel formerly known as channel 50"
    	     for something else.

This is probably the only action with any chance of an impact.  Local station
bought out by big corporation for use of its signal.  Big corporation could
care less what we think as long as they are making money on the deal.
Focus on making them as obscure and ignored as possible.

    I thought USA only showed reruns, but maybe I'm wrong.
494.7COULDN'T TELL YOUPCBUOA::CHENARDWed Apr 16 1997 13:114
    Wouldn't know an original from a rerun of Highlander.  Have never
    watched the show.
