hello, My name is lesly and i'm 16 years old. I started watching LINK TV last jan. when we got DIRECT TV. I think this is a good channel because it shows and talks about what is really going on and real issues around the world that you would NOT see in american news like CNN, ABC, FOX, etc. I support this channel 150% ( LOL ). I thank you people who made this channel. I pray to god to help you to keep this channel going. Thank you!!! LESLY,FL,16
