Hello everyone....these are just my suggestions on what to do to help VOOM attract more subs. I think we are all in agreement that VOOM needs to attract more subs to stay afloat. If they dont it will be our loss as well as the investors that have put their money into cablevision stock. There are a number of things that are right with VOOM but I believe these things are needed to help attract people and attention to VOOM.
1) Cin 10 needs to be cut down to 3 ch's. They could cover all of the movies that they are showing now in three ch's. Its a no-brainer. You dont need 10 ch's of movies....its a waste of money that could be spent elsewhere.
2) Monster HD------LEAVE THIS CH ALONE. Maybe focus even more on Horror.
3) MOOV------ GET RID OF THIS CH. Its not fun to watch..spend the money elsewhere.
4) RUSH AND EQUATORHD combined. Combine these 2 ch's. They both repeat their shows alot. Make one ch...save money spend elsewhere.
5) WorldSPORTHD....Make this ch a all sports ch. Give it a new name like VOOMSPORTHD. Spend some money on getting the rights to an NBA game every week....NHL game a week....during the baseball season show a game a week. If you show NBA, NHL and soccer LIVE...not on tape. Its more of an event if you show things live. You could also buy the rights to certain classic games and transfer them to HD. Make it a sports ch that people want.
6) RAVE----ADD to Rave. This could be a great ch. After all music is a universal language. MORE LIVE EVENTS. For example INHD2 is covering the Bon Jovi concert this Sunday night from AC ...tickets are going for 300 buck a piece. The only place you could see it other than being there is on INHD2...thats the type of LIVE events that Rave should add.
7) ULTRAHD----GEt RID OF THIS CH
8) AUCTIONHD ------GET RID OF THIS CH
9) GALLeryHD ----- GET RID OF THIS CH
10) ANIMANIAHD - This ch could stay. Add programming. Try to get rights to show some of Nick's shows in HD. CBS does that on Sat mornings. It works well for them. If you started showing Spongebob Squarepants in HD my kids would be glued to the set....and so would I!!!! Lets Go do it.
11) HDNEWS---KEEP THIS CH.
When all is said and done we would have 7 less CIn 10 CH's....We would be rid of MOOV, Auction, Ultra, Gallery ...and we would combine Rush and Equator. This be 12 less ch's that VOOM would offer in HD. That would leave money to create contracts to show NBA, NHL, and MLB games of the week in HD. Get Nick to provide like they do to CBS ..cartoons....but to show in HD. Nick is very popular with the kids and adults...get in with them.
12)MSGHD----This shouldnt be too hard. Show every Knick and Ranger game in HD. You could actually show concerts and everything that goes on in MSG in HD. Imagine a HD ch showing NBA basketball and NHL hockey everytime its in the Garden....that would be 90 events in HD!!! I would be glued to the set. Why this hasnt happened is beyond me.
13) AND Finally...take some money and get INHD 1 and 2. PAY THEM WHAT THEY WANT!!!!! Make VOOM the first Sat company to offer it...and the only sat company that offers it. People will have to go to VOOM for the best HD programming and the most HD programming. Make it happen. The format that is being used by VOOM now is not working. Please make it work...dont go down without trying. Its time for a change.
