    Ok why was my thread about a fox news anchor moved?

    The pm said it was because it was political. Whats political about a thread mocking a news anchor because she is stupid and thinks the rest of the world uses the imperial measurement system? Seriously what kind of crap is this? If this is considered political then I am done with this site.

    Do you like getting annual pay raises at work how about promotions?

    Dish dropping all RSN's (No they are not)

    http://www.google.com/url?q=http://awfulannouncing.com/2014/dish-network-will-dropping-every-comcast-rsn.html&sa=U&ei=aLtxVJ-WOYipNrWjg-gI&ved=0CA0Q-AsoATAA&usg=AFQjCNEvxk_teO9W1RFIdr6ssttYQbtcaQ Hmm are the people that make these decisions trying to drive away customers?

    Wonder why rates increase here is one reason.

    Had a service call in the notes the customer was having issues with their remote. Drives 30-40 mins at highway speeds one way to replace remote batteries and customers wonder why rates are increasing. I have heard from various sources that a tech roll costs anywhere from a $100-$200 a pop.
