I posted this message on the ongoing BP oil spill video threads, but I thought it might make a good short diary.
Time for the satellite service providers to step up and provide live feeds. They have plenty of extra channels that they use for announcements, etc. In fact, dish network has an "EARTH" channel that usually shows a live feed of the planet from a camera on one of the geosynchronous satellites. They overlay the video with classical music.
Instead of the Earth in space live video, they could instead feed the oil spill video (and perhaps play something like a funeral dirge).
We have dish network here. Here's the link to send them an email.
