DirecTV Subscribers: Are You Making Impassioned Pleas To Save Golf Channel?**
/I know I'd be on the phone to complain about them dropping a channel I watch, just wondering if any of you are lighting up the phone banks in Pakistan to tell Rupert Murdoch's John Malone's goons you want your Golf Channel?
**From a reader, who emailed DirecTV and got a reply (employee number x'd out):
Just wanted to let you know that if you do drop Golf Channel from my programming tier, I will immediately cancel my subscription and enroll in U-verse or DishNet. Thank you.
