Bring back Reba, Patty, Lorrie, Travis (no, not the Scottish lot),
Garth, and most of all Deana....sigh.



One way is to use a store like cduniverse where you can check out mp3
clips
and follow the links of "people who bought this also bought"

Just be careful buying things - reportedly they've included account details
in standard text e-mails sent to customers, details which have later turned
up on websites.

Hello!

Any news of CMT (Country Music TV) returning to SKY packages?
Thanks
Bubo

Must admit, I'd like to see the return of CMT to the Sky platform. Would
certainly beat all the ******** that's sprung up over the last few years.

I probably wouldn't watch it, but even I would support a return - it's a
genre that's sadly unsupported. On a similar theme, I'm happy to see the
success of Norah Jones and Katie Melua, hopefully others will get the
chance.

You mean that music with great melodies, meaningful lyrics and

performance and production values?

I'm glad I wasn't drinking a cup of tea or something when I read that or
half of it would have ended up over my keyboard.


I meant that most sincerely, folks. It's just that the only country that
seems to make it big over here is the real drivel like "Achey-Breaky
Heart".

Alternatively, subscribe to alt.binaries.multimedia.country-music which
is available on many usenet servers (including astraweb).

Lots of SVCD posts from CMTV and VH1 at around 80-100Mb per track.
Just need to burn to CD with nero then as an SVCD .... Pop into your DVD
player (VCD compatible) and off you go.

I would prefer the channel but this seems to work fine if you really
need a CMTV fix....

You should try living in the US, where all Viacom channels got yanked off
Echostar (Dish Network) for a while (Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, BET, Comedy
Central, and all of that good stuff).

Cheers

You mean that music with great melodies, meaningful lyrics and world-class
performance and production values? "They" seem to think that people don't
want that sort of thing any more. Now, if it is thrash-metal or RnB
channels you want (strange how black blokes are darker than black women
these days), no problem - I predict at least another half a dozen this
year.
My old CMT tapes come out at least twice a week. I can't believe it's not
profitable for them to bring CMT back - the audience may be small, but
they'd be a monopoly in a niche market.
