Hello to all of you who live in the continental United States, just thought I'd share with you the existence of two fairly new cable/satellite TV channels, RFD-TV, and Blue Highways TV or BHTV. Both these channels have widely varied musical shows in addition to their farming and equestrian programs etc; RFD has many of the old TV shows that Willie Nelson bought up, such as Pop Goes The Country and The Wilburn Brothers Show, and feature great country acts from the 60's and 70's, and also the Country Family Reunion show which is a great gathering of oldtime Nashville stars whose names almost all of you over 40 would recognize; and also there is often The Don Reno show featuring bluegrass acts. BHTV, the younger of the two channels, has taken over some of these shows and added others, unfortunately I don't get to watch them because my satellite provider, Direct TV, has not added BHTV but I have submitted my request. I hope that other receivers of Direct TV who read this will also contact them and request this channel.
In the meantime until you start getting the channel, you can get their monthly e-newsletter, just look up Blue Highways TV on Google, go to their site and sign up for the free newsletter.
This is for those of us who like music like Alison's, and feel shut out and disenfranchised by the big music networks who refuse to give this good kind of music its fair share of exposure. These little up-and-coming networks are the way to go for people like us. So please speak up and let your preferences be known!!!
