Voom Is Still Doomed
Despite an impressive lineup of HDTV channels, the new satellite TV service doesn't have a chance.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, DC (March 4) -- Voom, the satellite TV service launched last October by Cablevision, just revealed that it has signed up 1,627 subscribers to date.

That's only 1,627 customers after five months. To put it more starkly, Voom is signing up an average of 325 subscribers a month -- or just 10 a day. In a nation of more than 200 million people, only ten people are walking into a store every day to buy Voom.

I think you could get higher numbers if you were selling posters of Osama Bin Laden.

Second Season of HDNet Horse Racing Challenge Features Santa Anita Jockeys,

E. Kilroe Mile, and the $200,000 San Rafael Stakes.

First run in 1935, The Big 'Cap has proved the greatness and helped define
the careers of racing immortals such as Seabiscuit, Affirmed, Spectacular
Bid and John Henry. The 67th edition of the 1-1/4 mile classic will feature
Breeders' Cup Classic winner Pleasantly Perfect, Sunshine Millions Classic
winner Southern Image, and the filly Island Fashion, who attempts to become
the first female to win the historic Grade I event.

jockeys and three handicappers. Kentucky Derby-winning riders Victor
Espinoza, Kent Desormeaux and Mike Smith, as well as nationally-renowned
trainers Bob Baffert and Richard Mandella will be among the participants
competing to win an HDNet Trophy Cup and a high-definition television at the
end of the series.

"High definition television and horse racing are a perfect fit," said Mark
Cuban, co-founder and president of HDNet. "HDNet's coverage of these races
will show viewers the beauty and excitement of horse racing in a way that
only 1080i HDTV can achieve."

The HDNet Horse Racing Challenge will air on the following dates (all times

Saturday, March 6th - 6:00  - 8:00 p.m. (live)
Saturday, March 13th - 10:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m.
