While navigating this crisis, we have all had to make the concession that life is not returning to normal anytime soon. Consequently, the SportsTV Guide is pausing all of our clients subscriptions. We have marked March 1st as the beginning of this crisis and will move your anniversary date based on when televised sports return and restaurants are able to operate again.
We will continue to email you The Daily Rail newsletter every morning. We want to stay in touch, keep you posted on what’s happening in the industry and generally commiserate about the situation.
If you didn’t attend, we hosted a Live Event last week that was very well received. We spoke to a business attorney about issues related to your business and it’s solvency and got some great insight from a DIRECTV dealer on how to manage your account.
Please hang in there and let us continue to be a part of your daily routine and…for what’s it’s worth, we are just as “out of business” as you are, so we know exactly how you feel.
Stay strong, stay in touch, and we will stay with you until this is over and beyond.
Best of luck to you all,
AIJ
