I have heard Punta del Soul by Dave Grusin a couple of times this afternoon. This played in December 2000.

That actually played from 1989-1990 and in March 2001.

General Discussion / ABC Family to Become ABCF

« on: August 09, 2010, 02:17:11 PM »

Later this year, it looks like ABC Family will be rebranded as ABCF. It could end up as something the original owners (CBN & Pat Robertson) won't be happy about since the contract handed over through the original sale to Fox in 1997 says the word, "family", is supposed to stay in the networks name forever as well as airing "The 700 Club". The new name could possibly make some of you think of your report cards from school. I guarantee there is absolutely now way Pat Robertson would be bought like that.

Explanation for the signal troubles from page 372? That satellite problem with AMC-11 and Galaxy 15.

http://www.multichannel.com/article/452747-SES_To_Move_AMC_11_Away_From_Intelsat_s_Zombie_Satellite.php?rssid=20059&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MultichannelBreakingNews+%28Multichannel+News+-+Breaking+News%29

But don't worry, it's getting fixed. Some other major basic cable nets are on AMC-11 too.

The Weather Channel's feed on AMC-11 is only for the analog STARs (Jr, 4000, and XL). The TWC HD channel viewers are experiencing problems with is actually part of TWC's digital feed on AMC-10.
