Did My Part To Help VOOM

[rickaren]

Received two phone calls from NEWSDAY today concerning an article they are doing on VOOM. They said they got my name off this Site! I am long winded and passionate about VOOM, and was on the phone about two hours. Also sent them construction pictures of theater riser that I built because of VOOM. I have done this before and you never know what ends up in print, but the Reporter didn't know anything about 46,000 (+5,000?) and was going with the 26,000 figure as customers. Also knew nothing about the TWO VOOM Web Sites. Sent her the Links. Had to get the VOOM bill out to give exact figures. (I was one of the first 2,000 customers on their free deal/no commitment and installer came from Detroit) She asked a lot of questions concerning that deal compared to to present/past new install deals. I only had positive things to say. One question was if VOOM went away, who would get my business? Told her there is no replacement and may not be for years, but if E* did supply VOOM I would have to go with them from D*, only because of VOOM! Would be nice to see a real positive article on VOOM for the new BOD to read before any possible vote on Monday.

I wonder how many were called. I received one too, but thought it was about my website so said I had no comments.

What name showed up on the caller ID? I screen my calls but if I know they are calling, I'll answer it.

I also got the call. The CID said NEWSDAY, INC. I called back but it was after 6 and no one answered, but I did leave a message.

I too was interviewed this evening by Newsday concerning my letter to Chuck Dolan. This reaffirms my belief we do have a voice and we have been heard. What a rare occurrence in today's world of mega businesses! To be a part of something so large in our own small way is quite a treat.

I was also interviewed by Newsday, told them all the positive things about V*, heck I even had a good install!

Now that's what I call a day-brightener!! Just when it was starting to look like all efforts (mainly Charles') might be in vain! @party

Did any of the contacts indicate any potential publish date??

Sounds promising. I must admit NYP most likely wouldn't have done this.

I'll give this credit to them and recall my stance on Newsday if they handle this story correctly. Go Newsday, show me.

dang they didn't call me LOL

Me, either...but that may be good...celebrity can have a downside...!! (Deadly serious!!)

I may just go ahead and feel hurt, anyway!
