WMNB

[Benjamin Rifkin]

Dear SEELANGers:

I have been informed by the tech people on our campus that they can't find
the signal for WMNB (Ethnic American Broadcasting) from the satellite
anymore.  I had heard that they were in bankruptcy.  Attempts to contact
them have come to naught (see below.)  Is anyone getting their signal?

Thanks for clarifying this!

call EABC and kept on getting a busy signal for their 800
number(1-800-722-2080 or 1-877-351-4388).

>>
>>1.  Dish Network with an LNBF for your dish and a subscription for their

>>or 119 degrees.
>>
>>2.  M-peg 2 reciever(Pansat 300A)  pointing the dish to G6 at 99 
>>degrees.  The WMNB signal is in the clear which is fine seeing that CREECA 
>>already paid the subscription for it.

>>I`m copying this to CREECA, because I know there will have to be some 
>>money paid out in order to continue to get Russian TV.

>>Well enough for now.  Talk to you soon.
