Seems DISHnetwork will be cutting out EWTN full time from their
satellite programing and giving 50-50 time with America's Voice.
More info below

Prayers and protests!
Peace,

Dear friends,

I have just been informed and have confirmed it with customer service at
DISHnetwork, satellite network, that EWTN will be cut to half time starting
April 1.  It will share the space with America's Voice, I am not sure of the
name, which is a political station.  Mother Angelica has advertised heavily
for the satellite network and I know the network has benefited greatly by
the Catholic subscriptions.

Here in the Northwest spiritual wasteland cable does not carry EWTN, so this
satellite
is the only opportunity for us to get up to date correct news and wonderful
Catholic
teachings.

Please consider passing on this information to your friends and associates,
whether or not they have a dish & write, call and
e-mail the network to save the 12 hours a day that will soon be going.

 It will not work to just call and speak to a customer service
representative,
they do not take a tally, and frankly they seem ill trained.  But if folks
will insist on speaking with a manager they must transfer them.  If you do
not have a dish, you can express an interest in one as they will want to
look you up on the computer.

Catholics have a difficult time getting good press and good media
representation
as we all know.  It needs also to be easy for people to watch and not have
to depend
on taping programs.  If this other network is worthy, perhaps it could merit
it's
own channel.
