Bravo Acknowledges Existence of Raleigh, NC

STOP THE PRESSES! We at New Raleigh have just been informed that the people over at Bravo, a television station recently added to Raleigh cable subscribers’ menu, have humbled themselves in an act of charity and acknowledged on their blog the existence of our beloved—but, let’s face it, totally pathetic—city.

An employee at 360i, the marketing agency that represents Bravo, sent New Raleigh editors this email today:

Subject: Go Raleigh! Bravo TV shouts you out on their blog

Hey!

I just wanted to give you a heads up that Bravo has shouted out Raleigh on their blog! Now that Time Warner Cable subscribers in Raleigh get Bravo, they wanted to let you all know how much you’re appreciated smile

Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/dznaz6

Feel free to share this with your readers and let me know what you think!

Since we were told to “feel free to share this with [our] readers,” here’s the “shout-out” from Bravo’s blog:

Welcome Raleigh Viewers!

As of December 31st, the fabulous Time Warner subscribers in Raleigh, NC get Bravo! We kinda think this might be the biggest thing since Dawson’s Creek started filming in nearby Wilmington, but what do we know? Anyway, we just wanted to welcome you to Bravotv.com. Click around a little and don’t be scared! Our commenters can be pretty, um, passionate, but we hope you start commenting too! We look forward to reading them.

- Bravotv.com

You heard it, citizens of Raleigh! Time Warner subscribers getting Bravo’s programming pumped into their homes is the biggest thing to happen to Raleigh since Dawson’s Creek was filmed also in the same state nine years ago!

But Bravo knows the Internets can be scary, so they are more than willing to patronize us every step of the way as we clutch to our chests the brown bag lunch Aunt Bea packed us and head out into the world. Yee-haw!

Thanks, Bravo! Where would we be without you to affirm our existence? Probably off doing something lame and hillbilly like curing cancer in RTP instead of watching Top Chef. Go Raleigh!

    a little sensitive are we???

    I for one am happy to be watching “Top Chef” again.

  • ladye jane01/22 06:18 PM

    FINALLY.
    I was so sad when I moved here and had to abandon Project Runway.

  • Tony01/22 07:17 PM

    So basically they had some intern who knows nothing about NC rack their brain about pop culture for a few minutes. “Tom Cruise’s wife used to go there, right?”

    Don’t matter none noways. Me and my kinfolk ain’t got a TV set.

    I think its funny that us uncultured podunk morons in backwater USA supply the hottest bands du jour to the jaded hipsters of NYC (see the Brooklyn Vegan blog-they do back flips for the Annuals, Rosebuds and Mountain Goats).

  • Horatio01/23 08:33 AM

    Ladye Jane, I sincerely hope you’re being sarcastic! Project Runway…..like OMG.

  • RaleighRob01/23 08:48 AM

    Well cool….now if we can just get Logo so I can watch “Rick & Steve”.  :-D

  • arthurb301/23 09:06 AM

    Yes, a little more diversity on the channel selection would be nice - LOGO would be a nice addition.

  • anony01/23 01:12 PM

    Whatever, the biggest thing to happen in Raleigh was the launch of SLAMMER magazine!

  • Lisa Jeffries01/24 12:00 AM

    Wowwww… glad there’s nothing that I’ll DVR there anyways. Geez, they couldn’t at least pull up a couple of wikis??? Or how about this, look around NewRaleigh.com since apparently it’s on the press list?

  • MMI01/27 01:05 PM

    Arthur, if I’m not mistaken, LOGO shows up in your digital cable listings, albeit somewhere up above Ch. 100.  I do not know if it is a “free” channel, however.


    On an related note, I’m still pissed that IFC went to a pay channel on TWC, but I am happy to get Bravo here, after being made fun of by my friends in the Triad.  I still can’t get a Braves game (they have a Braves CHANNEL there, fer cripe’s sake!!), but the addition of The Baseball Network (Ch. 139) is nothing short of awesome.

    Pretty cool post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
    that I have really liked reading your blog posts. Anyway
    I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!

  • MMI07/14 12:02 PM

    Ooh, stealthy spam!

  • buy viagra12/15 02:29 AM

    I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I’ve been experiencing this very same problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. I’ve spent weeks calibrating and getting it ready when all of a sudden… I cannot delete any content. It’s a workaround that, although isn’t perfect, does the trick so thanks! I really hope this problem gets solved properly asap.

    I over recall the mail is decorous and on the point. This brief really helped me in my assignment.

    hmm… luv this style..

    Dear Dipshit spambots,
    Your posts are not bumping this thread to the top of a page or list.  Your efforts are therefore in vain.  Kindly kill yourselves.  Thank you.
