NEW YORK — Actor Kelsey Grammer is an investor and public face supporting a new network that launched last Wednesday with entertainment designed to appeal to political conservatives.

RightNetwork, whose first series, "Running," follows the fortunes of a couple of Tea Party-backed candidates for public office, is also trying a new model to establish itself. It is initially making programming available through video-on-demand services, the Internet and through mobile phones, bypassing the route of traditional TV networks with a spot on channel lineups

They aren't doing very good job of explaining what they are, or what they have, but I think you can watch anything they now offer on their website on an on-demand basis. Go to rightnetwork.com, and to the left side where it says "Featured", and select "Watch" and you can click on what you want to watch.

I have the feature "Running" going so I think you can watch anything they have online. They don't seem have a lot of content yet, and there are no scheduled programs running anywhere as far as I can tell.

No, it’s not on many cable or satellite providers.
Call and ask for it.

I’m watching it on the internet anyway. I don’t have cable.

They have “Drive thru History”, amd “Dennis Prager University”.

It’s kind of hard to promote yourself when everyone hates you already. I’m following them on FB!

I haven't watched anything on the site yet except a few minutes of the "Running" feature, but the will have get a thing or two that become hits so they'll have people wanting to come back.

I would love to see a conservative alternative to Hollywood and the liberal networks. There's probably a lot of people out there who are as sick as I am of the liberal garbage on the television.

A couple years ago Fox News tried to do a funny news show as a sort of response to The Daily Show. It stunk. Air America likewise programmed ideology over entertainment and went bankrupt.

I wonder if these new guys learned the lesson.

I tried bringing up their site. Was told my browser was too old so I switched over to Firefox 3.6.9 (the latest version) which it said I needed to use. Ummm, got the same message. Anyone else able to access the site and what browser were you using?

Have you asked the member in post #7?

I haven’t tried the website.

[Ron H.]

Interestingly enough I tried it again just now (4th time) and it came up correctly for me. Thanks. I didn’t see post #7 when I posted my post.
