I am an NRA member /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif and the NRA magazine I opted for titled "Freedom 1st" has an article in it (March 2004") that says the NRA is going to start a 24 hour news service on the internet,and they were also working on a radio and tv deal.
Does this mean the NRA is going to have a TV channel I could possibly hope to get on my satellite in the future ? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Yes, the NRA is getting into the media market. They did this in response to the "censorship" against the NRA's views by the general media outlets. The censorship problem was compounded by the recent relaxations in the rules governing media monopoly ownership in regional areas. The rule used to limit the amount of ownership that any one media giant could control (radio, television etc.) in a geographical area. It was recently relaxed this past year. The NRA has been prevented from airing commercials by most of the media giants.

The NRA also decided to get into the media market in order to facilitate posting campaign ads and to help get their message out during elections.

GO NRA!!!

Knowing my luck, it'll be on the oval DTV dish like RFDTV. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That's great.

Today they had a news story on NPR about how five hundred gun clubs were up in arms about the current policies governing drilling--mining in the wilderness areas. It seems the NRA is joining the environmentalists on this issue.

One of the spokespersons for the gun guy-gals pointed out their interest were a lot more intimate than some of the green peace types. He said for them it was personal because no one knows the land like someone who hunts and fishes on it.

what's wrong with RFDTV, if you dont like the Cumberland Highlanders, turn 'em off.

rdln,

I think Fivestring was complaining that he couldn't get RFDTV because he has the old round dish, just like me! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[fivestring]

Correct.
And, I listen to the Highlanders! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh, well dig deep $$$$$$

That's what I've heard.
Hopefully, with HDTV mandates coming soon, the price will drop.
Cable TV will never be an option.
