I support his efforts but I commented that I hope he keeps the conspiracy shows to a minimum

[trey4sports]

very cool. best of luck. I hope they can get on DTV and Dish.

[Sentinelrv]

This is what we need to counter the MSM lies and disinformation. I hope it's successful. This reminds me of Break the Matrix. Whatever happened with that anyway?

[muzzled dogg]

fail in the making

[Keith and stuff]

fail in the making

I think people should be realistic. Ian Freeman really did a 24 hour pro-liberty radio network. Of course, GCN did something similar years earlier. What is it about this project that you think makes it fail?

Probably just the sheer scope of what it is they're trying to do, build something that would compete with Fox, CNN and the rest. That is a major undertaking. Are there enough of us to make it successful? Would regular Republicans watch it or be turned off by the Ron Paul influence?

[Muwahid]

Competing with FOX, MSNBC, CNN?

With RevPacs poor showing money-wise during the campaign, how do they expect to raise the ... I don't know, billions needed to even hope to compete? Rome wasn't built in a day, they need a sustainable business model. I just wonder how high their expectations are.

[yoshimaroka]

Yep, marketing fail.

A hottie should've teased the network.

The number 1 thing to build an audience is to have hot female anchors and hosts.

[Kotin]

Anyone remember "break the matrix" ??


Hope it doesn't go that way..

who said they are going to compete with the big boys? I mean that would be great if they could, but i highly doubt they'll be striking a deal with cable/satellite providers any time soon.

More likely they will be an internet-based news station and offer an app for your roku, PS3, smart-tv, etc etc in order to get a television rather than just computer audience, and honestly that is the future of content distribution. It would be better for our movement if they were on cable/satellite though seeing as that is where our weakest demographic gets their news from.

I really hate the way that the most senior members of these forums can't be supportive, or even simply ignore, efforts that other people are making.

Why on earth is it in our DNA to immediately attempt to destroy anything and everything that somebody else is trying to build?

I was hoping someone with the backing could start this to counter the Lies and Propaganda of Fascist corporate Media and myopic one-eyed liberals that just don't get it.

[Bruehound]

I've never been a fan of the Russo wing. This will most certainly be more hysterical conspiracy crap and it is what repels people.

People on here say repeatedly over and over again that 'if only we had a 24/7 news network, we'd be in business' and then when someone works on that, they denounce it as a failure immediately

I'm glad that Franchi has a good idea of what liberty and the truth are. Thank God it isn't some piece of CATO trash starting this network proclaiming that Paul Ryan has a 'good idea of what the free-market is'

You mentioned those two before I could. (Generally agree with your opinion of them as well)


This could be done though. Here's Link TV's financial statement for 2011:
http://www.linktv.org/sitecontent/pages/Link_Media_Audited_Financial_Statements_Fiscal_201 1.pdf

If read correctly, they manage to air their channel for 6 million a year. That sounds quite doable to me.

I really wish that a couple of the affluent libertarians out there, the Peter Thiels and such, would toss together ~120 million and create an endowment for a libertarian news channel. It could be done. After the money's gathered they wouldn't have to have constant fundraisers. Just a tri-annual moneybomb.

That would be a great investment for a well-to-do libertarian. RevPAC certainly showed that they had the ability to produce stunning advertisements, and I think they've proven themselves to be worth the donation

I have to say that i completely disagree. The barriers to distributing content to viewers is getting lower each day. Look at all the main news channels, they are all losing money and viewers rapidly because more folks are moving to alternative media (not necessarily Alex Jones but other sources of news like drudge, and yahoo, and jones as well). I think 120 million could be spent on other things. Mainly for the reason that creating a mega news network based on cable/satellite access would be a depreciating investment. However a news network with a sustainable distribution model would be a good thing.

[Elwar]

I hope it works but I agree with the reservations of Gari Franchi running it.

He seems to fall behind the Alex Jones mindset that the government is so good at accomplishing things that they can pull off all sorts of seedy things with pinpoint precision. While purposefully competently destroying the economy in a systematic way.

I like the Harry Browne philosophy that "government doesn't work". There seems to be much more evidence toward that than the former.

[GeorgiaAvenger]

We need Peter Thiel and other libertarians to take the majority share of MSNBC.

they sure seem to be good at bombing countries into oblivion and taking away our rights

[Nickels]

very cool. best of luck. I hope they can get on DTV and Dish.

that's what Alex Jones, Break the Matrix, Freedom Watch, Adam vs The Man, ....all tried and hasn't happened, right? At best they get on RT.

[Liberty74]

Holy crap you all. This is what I have been calling for the last year to compete against Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC propaganda they put out.

If they get on TV to the masses, watch out establishment. Watch the system scramble...

Those that control the media control the people. We have to get as many people out of their brainwashed trance as possible.

[trey4sports]

yeah no shit it's difficult, and no they wont be on RT. This is not a show it is a news network.

you were not the only person who "called for it" but the market doesn't demand it enough. The closest people have gotten is the RT channel.

which makes it harder, not easier, to produce, fund, and publicize.

AJ: Gravel-voiced conspiracy theorist whose current gig is too profitable to risk failure in another venture. Also as far as I know he hasn't developed a full roster of talent to fill a 24x7 schedule.
BTM: Their name and their original logo were both derivative. Poor marketing.
FW: Again, can't run one guy 24x7.
AVTM: Rude and abrasive publicity whore who needs to wear a real shirt.

don't disagree, the question is, what makes Gary think he has either 24/7 audience or talent?

[angelatc]

AVTM: ....needs to wear a real shirt.

Uh, no....

[trey4sports]

Honestly, im not a huge AJ fan but he is about the only one on that list that could make a 24/7 news network work. he has a big viewership/listenership and his people are loyal.

It would have to be a conspiracy themed network though. It couldn't be Anderson Cooper at 7 and Alex Jones at 8. I wonder what kind of lead-in that would be like... "hey Alex why don't you give my viewers a preview of what kind of batshit crazy thing you're going to talk about tonight?" :p

That's the point. That, or RT are about as good as "non mainstream" programming can get as far as viewers and sponsors. Anybody who thinks they can do better out of the blue is delusional.

As you can see, Gary's looking for
I am interested in writing.
I am interested in producing.
I am interested in investing.
I am interested in donating.
I am interested in being a viewer.
What does that mean? He's got NOTHING. Just a domain name an old idea.

Yeah, funny. Which is just what it was like when GCN had both Free Talk Live and conspiracy shows. Then again, Coast to Coast is on a mainstream network.

Jones is still several years of growth away from being able to do a network like that imo

Gary hasn't said he is going for a 24/7 news network on TV that competes with FOX, MSNBC, etc. right away. It will most likely start as an online network

[emazur]

supposed to be launching two days from now (12/22):

One of their latest videos had Dick Morris report on Bernanke. Why?

[torchbearer]

[AGRP]

Theres an inherent problem with promoting liberty on a commercial scale. Businesses are anti-liberty (competition). The people who want liberty or want it to operate a currently illegal business cant support such a channel because they arent allowed to operate.

[cbrons]

I support his efforts but I commented that I hope he keeps the conspiracy shows to a minimum

You mean shows that talk about water fluoridation killing people, vaccines giving kids autism, and 9/11 was caused by a death ray?

[cbrons]

Haha no way!!! Dick Morris has crawled out into the sunlight again? Is he even capable of shame? After his horrendous predictions in the last election, I'm surprised he didn't take up permanent residence under Plymouth rock.

[ronpaulfollower999]

I hope it has better news anchors and production than his news broadcast on WHDT.

[tangent4ronpaul]

A 12 hour maiden news broadcast, hu?

On the 22nd - OK
Where can it be found on the 22nd?
When does it start?

So far, I'm giving them a F- on publicity...

OK, Nathan -- this is literally the last email you're going to get from me about tomorrow's maiden broadcast of the Next News Network... well... maybe the last.

There's less than 24 hours left until we go LIVE, and there's still a lot of work left to build up this network. After the broadcast, and after we raise our first round of capital... the hard work begins.

So with just a few hours to go - I need to ask you to give us one more push to your networks.

At NOON CENTRAL TOMORROW it begins.

It's all going to come down to these last few hours, and every share, forward you can do will help us get our message out -- and getting Americans to tune in to hear liberty voices at: http://NextNewsNetwork.com

Tom Woods, Ernest Hancock, Larry Pratt, Adam Kokesh, John Dennis, Michael Boldin, Mark Lerner, Tony Stiles, Danny Panzella, Amber Lyon, Charles Goyette, James Lane, Mike Salvi, Fabian Calvo and Robert Scott Bell...

With a special LIVE studio performance by JORDAN PAGE!

This is the broadcast you do not want to miss.

Date: Saturday, December 22
Time: NOON to MIDNIGHT Central
Location: http://NextNewsNetwork.com

Do not wait. Please hit forward. Right now.

Thanks,

Gary

[Keith and stuff]

Does anyone know if the network is just down because Gary realized it was too early to watch or if the network is down forever? What was the major problem? Was it to hard to compete with LRN.FM or was it something else?

[trey4sports]

So I just found this channel on my roku and I absolutely love it!
