Gah! MSNBC is gone from blinkotv...

:cry: :cry: :cry:

They only have Fox news. :(

Anyone else know another live stream? Channelsurfing isn't working either...

1. I think the problem is with the MSNBC stream itself....not the channel
Other sites are saying it is down.

13. seems odd that msnbc would want to reduce # of people seeing ADVERTS on its programs...
dont have cable and would not watch msnbc otherwise.

21. Comcast could be involved
They have been shifting MSNBC into more expensive digital packages, while not doing the same thing to CNNor Fox. They could be bringing some pressure to bear.
