Voom can be closed down in 30 days. Is it really dead this time?

[txcruiser]

Those that wrote love letters to Dolan should feel jilted.

I wonder when they will stop taking orders?

 

[Horsnuts]

I was hoping to switch when my E* contract was up. Total Bummer for you Voomers out there.

 

[bobaphx]

Sooooo, I guess there is no reason to call VOOM (as I intended to do tonight or tomorrow morning) to sign up for the $1.00 "what have you got to lose" promotion........

 

[jeslevine]

Just go to yahoo.com

Can somebody publish the link to the original announcement? I did a google searh and couldn't find it.

Select Finance, then type in CVC and select Get Quote

You will see the news items which confirm this

 

[James Long]

My condolences.

Thanks. I couldn't find it before when I posted that. Now it's everywhere.

 

[James Long]

Maybe C. Dolan didn't have the financing lined up after all.

Apparently not.

It would be nice to see an actual press release from Voom or CVC, or a statement from Dolan.

This is from Cablevision, although at this moment it is not on their website. It would be nice if it were just an elaborate spoof but alas it is not.

What a shame

Thanks. I couldn't find it before when I posted that. Now it's everywhere.

hope it is reversible, but I doubt it.

 

[Horsnuts]

So what do the 25,000 subscribers get offered now? Cable Boxes? E*?

 

[Geno]

Very sad, indeed. Another Beta-max bites the dust.

Don't think that that is the issue. Ihave the feeling, and this is speculation, that CVC wants to play it sure in regards to the transfer of satellite and transponders. And somewhere, it tells me with what was going on, Chuck was doing everything in his power to keep Voom where it is today. Now there is no reason to deny the FCC application. There is no third fulll service DBS provider. And with Voom is everyone's head, no one is willing to take the risk for a startup either.

 

[Geno]

Have they said anything on VOOM HD News about it? That would be a strange report. It would basically be a guy saying "I'm out of a job".

 

[Horsnuts]

Or," I need a job!!!"

 

[jeslevine]

I will probably go with Comcast for HD now if this is the end of Voom

 

[rtt2]

Did Scott get paid for March's ads on Sat Guys. If not he better collect now!!!

 

[jeslevine]

called Voom, and they are sure playing dumb about what happened

 

[HDInsighter]

life support?

I heard from a reliable source that its really not dead...and so the saga continues...
