Recommended streaming internet TV station site for MSNBC, CNN, etc ?
Was using www.channelsurfing.net for MSNBC, CNN and Fox, but it just dumped them to another pay site that requires downloaded software. Any recommendations for those of us stuck at work without a TV?

1. Mine just cut off, too and I'm FREAKING OUT ! I have no way to watch election coverage, as I'm
out in California and the cable out here doesn't carry MSNBC. I even tried going to the Blinko site but it doesn't even load the page for me.

Anyone got suggestions?? I feel sick to my stomach. Argghhh !!

3. msnbc is streaming election coverage now on their home page
and I assume they will continue to do so through election day.

5. You've got to be kidding. That site was my lifeline to KO and to
Rachel. Why do I think some company like Comcast is behind the move? I know, I'm being negative. Why now?
I cannot afford to pay for any more than I have. Tell me this isn't true? Or at least tell me there is another option. I'll go crazy tomorrow without MSNBC.

16. H&Cs link works great. If and when they shut down the Live MSNBC Coverage, I guess I"ll have to
use that stupid "BLINKOTV.COM" site. Its horrible, takes forever to load, loads all sorts of stupid freeper chat rooms beside the screen, its horrible. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that MSNBC lasts through tomorrow night !!

I'd rather not watch than watch CNN. Its sad when you realize how thoroughly addicted you are to MSNBC @ !

6. Same problem here
I wouldn't be surprised if this was done intentionally by whoever was streaming it, to get us to pay. Though I cannot seem to figure out what that other site is about.
