----- Original Message ----- From: Leonie Lachmish - simchagirls1@xxxxxxxxx Subject: info4u: BBC Prime stays on HOT! Yeish ! Well done to everyone who wrote, faxed, protested, phoned ! The Director of HOT says our pressure didn't help them in their negotiations but I reckon they wouldn't have bothered with negotiations without our pressure ! They managed to get around a 40% reduction in payment to BBC Prime and the other channels that won't be removed after all, which is great. When I got an email from a BBC representative who saw my name in the Haaretz article, I answered that I hoped and trusted that BBC Prime would also do its bit for its faithful viewers and take into account in the negotiations that the cable company here is making terrible losses and that they would also be flexible and understanding. So it seems at last a win-win situation.
