MSNOW is the only station not bending the knee - at least the best pundits aren't.

I don't think they've dropped the network, but he's been having intermittent log-in problems for a few months now and tends toward conspiratorial explanations.

There are two feeds that I use. Sometimes, one or the other gets digitally screwed up and does not transmit well. Then, I just switch to the other.
