The music choice video channel!

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a concert with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver at the Rudy Theater in Selma, NC. These only reminded me of what I have been missing since Bluegrass was taken off Music Choice. I look at all of the channels you retained and wonder why there are somany totally repetative channels, but no room for the truly talanted Bluegrass musicians, Please reconsider your actions.

Is this your way of telling us that the dumbed-down generation has taken over. Apparently the old pure musical vocal form is deemed to be obsolete in the so-called music world. How sad for all of us.

Great selection of songs. It is hard to turn off because I like all the songs.

The American Songbook deserves its own channel.
I loved the age choices on the comment entry from – “35 and older” was the upper limit. Wow!

You can use it to let them know how you feel. While I’m not a bluegrass fan, I certainly let them know that the whole entire line-up change was just completely horrible. I’m sure they’re already getting some letters to that effect.

That was what used to be Retro-Active, right?
Stage & Screen was a smart replacement for Show Tunes. I wrote to Music Choice years ago suggesting a movie or TV soundtrack channel.
Some of the new station titles are confusing. I understand what I may hear when tuning into R&B Hits as opposed to Throwback Jamz. And what sets True Country apart from other forms of Country music? Is 946 going to be the False Country channel and will I hear Jessica Simpson on it (Yeah, I did. Had to.)?

However, you’re right that more competition is always a better thing. Each TV subscription service uses a different music provider. (ATT uses Urge Music, DirectTV uses XM/Sirius, etc.)
Even with Music Choice’s recent shuffle, I’m still glad that Time Warner uses them because Music Choice’s sound quality is better than Sirius IMHO….but the latter certainly has some better selection in channels.
(However, I don’t know enough about ATT’s Urge provider to tell ya if it’s better or not.)

I still can’t get AT&T where I live, but I canceled cable anyways. I’ve gone 2 months without and don’t miss it at all!

News to me. I wonder why they thought there was a need for change.
Can’t say I’m very pleased by this…some of these merged channels makes no sense. Big Band & Swing was a good channel, but merging it with the often-cheesy Singers & Standards will make it watered down, IMO.
Also, “Dance” and “Electronica” were so vastly different, I can’t even imagine merging those two. (In pop terms, it would be like pairing disco with hard rock!) Not a good move.
If the really wanted to enrich their line-up, a true World Music channel would have been greatly appreciated.
