Thanks for the information. I'm on DirecTV and have audio only classical
channels (XM Radio over DirecTV). I also have a Sirius receiver. But a
classical version of MTV would be welcome pleasure compared to the hundreds
of channels of garbage (to me) featured on DirecTV. I looked up the
websites and they apparently aren't on DirecTV yet. Classic Art Showcase is
on DISH network. I've contacted them as a consumer to see if we can apply
pressure. This might be a worthwhile effort by all of us on this list.

Thanks for asking Michael, I personally subscribe to Comcast Digital Cable,
and there are two Classical Music stations on a satellite provider called
Musical Choice (MC) I do not know what the appropriate satellite settings
would be, but in Baltimore County they are on Channels 434 and 436. They
have just about every genre of music on about 150 channels, including some
of the boorish pop stuff, sorry if I offend. But you'd think if they have a
channel of all Bluegrass, they could throw one up strictly for Celtic too,
wouldn't you?

You can go to www.musicchoice.com to ask them to carry it on your cable
provider or satellite provider, and while there, ask them to start a Celtic
channel, I have. I mean Celtic music isn't all that bad or nasty to listen
to, and some of those Cape Breton Fiddlers aren't hard on the eye.

There's a Classical Video (yes, video's, basically an "mtv" for the Arts)
channel on some cable networks which is really good. Classic Arts Showcase
http://classicartsshowcase.org/ is the name.
