    I'am with you there. They took it off years ago and I'd get red of the chandel if it wasn't tied up with other chandels that I like.

    My cousin, in a rural area of Mississippi, gets a channel named Create. It carries craft shows but also cooking and home improvement and travel. But, it's not here in my area and not on any company to which I have access. I really enjoyed watching all those shows when I was visiting. Sort of hard to turn off the TV and go to sleep. Didn't want to miss anything.

    We get Create here too, but it's weird how they do it..........they will have a whole day of one type of show, such as italian food, or repairing a roof, then maybe a day of painting shows. It's hard to know whats going to be on and no regular scheduling at all

    I also used to get F&P and Sewing with Nancy until a few months ago. These shows were also on a 6:30 and 7:00 am on Saturdays :(
    I also did what a previous poster did....I signed up on-line with F&P for $20 and watch all the shows I like, whenever I like....HIGHLY Recommend this!

    I watched the Sewing with Nancy fund raiser 1 1/2 hours yesterday. I will have to check and see if Fons and Porter or E. Burns is still on living in Ohio too, may be gone. I have thought about Quiters Network on line also. May have to do that and we have supported PBS many times. Like everyone else tired of DIY
