Direct TV Should Carry Free Speech TV

Free Speech TV is a groundbreaking Independent channel from a Progressive perspective that runs counter to the commercialism of other networks, and the quality of their programming rivals PBS. FSTV has shown great documentaries that you won't find anywhere else; like "Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media", and "The Gaza Strip", and has America's best show: "Democracy Now!" with Amy Goodman, which features in-depth discussion, and speeches from celebrated people like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X., Howard Zinn, and Ralph Nader. FSTV has given substantive coverage to activism and political issues that concern the public. FSTV gives comfort during national crisis, is generally inspiring and challenging, and has great potential.

Direct TV is America's largest satellite provider with 11 million subscribers. Direct TV has said they have added channels in the past due to viewer demand. FSTV is a Public Interest Channel, and by law satellite providers like the Dish and Direct TV must give 4% of their space to these channels. FSTV has applied to Direct TV every year since they started in 1999. FSTV is carried by the Dish Network but not Direct TV. Whether you are a Direct TV subscriber yet or not, more people should be able to see FSTV. If this sounds like your kind of network please ask Direct TV to carry FSTV, and let's see if this great network can expand during a post war lull. If you support Independent Media and want more Quality Television than please sign this petition.

The Future of Television Media is Viewer Supported!
