We need Jimmy on DIRECTV!

Post by Tiki Bar »

My cause for the day is to get Jimmy on DIRECTV, other than CMT!

Option 1: DIRECTV Freeview: Every month, Freeview features a concert from an artist or two to run either all day every day, or on the weekends. Some are recent concerts, and some are older, but either works for me! Maybe we can petition for him in April or May.

Option 2: Music Choice® on DIRECTV® Service: These are the music channels on DirecTV, and Radio Disney has been added to the lineup recently. Therefore, I think it's time for Radio Margaritaville to air on it's own channel!

Who's with me? Let's go! aaaaahhahaaaaahhh! (to quote Bluto!)

btw: my mom is getting DIRECTV installed at the moment - has only had an antenna til now! :o

Don't you think this can wait until after we get all the old CDs remastered and reissued with the original artwork? I couldn't resist :wink:

DIRECTV really p*** me off when they dropped the Americana channel and added Radio Disney in it's place. DIRECTV should at least give us Radio Mararitaville.

Seeing as how I am an employee of the largest cable company in the world, I had better not comment on this. For my employers would probably get p*** if they knew that I had Directv.

Yeah...just like the guy in the commercial, my dish is on the back of the house.

Rest in peace cowboy, a job well done.

And I wish they could fill all of your requests, but it's about scheduling, programming costs, and demand.

hmmmm - who do I contact with my persuasive speech? I don't know about the first 2, but I think sales figures for concert tickets, albums, and merchandise should speak for the demand!

Oh, I KNOW you can be very persuasive, Joann. 8) But with MILLIONS of customers, not ALL of those are Buffett fans. :wink:

Yet! Many more of them would be if just given the proper mega exposure... I never knew I liked Cake until I saw their Freeview a couple months ago!
