The Anime Network recently made this announcement to customers and fans alike:
<<Anime Fans of America:
You’ve made Anime Network, the only dedicated anime channel in America, a breakout sensation on Video on Demand. Thank you.
But now, Anime Network’s continued operation and expansion is in jeopardy. Despite the overwhelming success of Anime Network on Demand, certain cable executives think they can program any old anime, and that the fans of America won’t know the difference. That’s just not right.
We need every anime fan in America to make their preference for Anime Network heard. Log on to http://www.theanimenetwork.com, fill out a simple form and send your desire for a 24 hour Anime Network directly to the decision makers at America’s largest cable company. Or call the good folks at Comcast directly at (215) 665-1700 and say, “I’ll switch for Anime Network.â€
