They basically laughed it off. I called up the local satellite branch; they said I could have it for around $50 extra a month. Sure, a lot of people are interested in sports and movies, but why should that prevent those of us who want a fair and balanced international news report from seeing one? I won't dignify your other comment with a response. Best, Jillian Carmen,
