Here in Denver, we HAD Fuel TV when it was still on (It was buried among the movie channels like TVOne is & in SD only but it was there). But then Comcast (For some strange weird reason) decided to yank it in favor of......Drum roll please.....A BIG FAT NOTHING !!! I'm not even sure if Fuel ever was in HD but now that it's Fox Sports 2 - AN SD ONLY FOX SPORTS 2 IS BETTER THAN NO FOX SPORTS 2 AT ALL (Get the message Comcast ??) They also have a history of letting YEARS go by before TOUCHING the lineup (Let alone add channels to it). The wait we had to endure to get ESPNU & ESPN Goal Line/ESPN Buzzer Beater are just two examples of this I also fondly remember (Rather DUBIOUSLY I might add) how Altitude Sports was added. They kept the channel OFF THE AIR (Even though channel 25 & 725 were set aside for it) until the start of a Denver Nuggets home game telecast (If memory serves, it was the SECOND game of the season with the firsat one being NOT available because Comcast hadn't added Altitude by then. THIS TICKED OFF A LOT OF FANS because Carmelo Anthony was still a young NBA sensation back then). When the game DID start & Altitude FINALLY got on the air on Comcast, they had the CEO on as a guest during the game & ONLY THEN it was announced that while we were left sitting in the dark wondering if we would have to endure missing YET ANOTHER Nuggets game because they were now on Altitude & not on FSN Rocky Mountain (Now ROOT Sports), THEY WERE NEGOTIATING A CARRIAGE DEAL RIGHT UP TILL NEARLY GAME TIME !!! Those of you who live in the Denver area (Or lived here back then) might remember this better than I described. If so, please chime in 😄 MORAL OF THE STORY - It wasn't the way to score points with us customers THEN & it's NOT the way to score points with us customers NOW Comcast. A LOT of things have changed in the nearly 20 years since this, but Customer Relations IS NOT ON THAT LIST !!! Now as for Al Jazeera America, that (Contrary to what is undoubtedly popular belief among Blaze TV fans) WAS NOT a new channel added by Comcast. Al Jazeera bought AN EXISTING channel ALREADY IN THE LINEUP (Current TV) & turned that channel into Al Jazeera America. COMCAST HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH IT OR ANY SAY IN THE MATTER AS THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A CONTRACT WITH THE NETWORK !!! I know many of you Blaze TV freaks will NEVER believe a Liberal like me so I submit to you these sources of information (Take them however you please)..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_tv http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jazeera_America Now back to sports 😄 Cheers 🙂 PC
