Video of the Week
Artist: Reggaeton Ni�os
Song: "Oye mi Canto"
Country: U.S.
View This Video Now!
�
If this song sounds familiar, it may be because it was big hit for the Reggaeton group N.O.R.E. featuring Daddy Yankee, Nina Sky, Gem Star and Big Mato.� The adult factor (both physically and lyrically) has been replaced with a decidedly more innocent vibe.
Remember that you can own much of the music featured on our music blocks by visiting our online music store. We have either CDs or 99 cent song downloads available for many of the artists on our 59 playlists. Check them out

My name's John and I'm a Republican from Wyoming who literally hangs out with cool people like Dick Cheney and Al Simpson.� I was proud to donate $500 to Link TV tonight because it is� critical to the success of our nation and the world that programming, like that which Link TV exclusively offers, be viewed and thought about by as many informed and independent� thinkers as possible!...Thanks to Link TV, we Americans are linked to the world around us with unique, personal and informed perspectives!...'

...The Witness...thank you for airing this incredible program.� Most mainstream press treat animal issues as fluff pieces - but I think that many viewers will be completely shaken by The Witness, as I was.� It is so clear that animals suffer in silence to serve us as food, clothing, and entertainment - and most of us take that for granted. This documentary changed the way I think...It was the first time I watched Link TV, but you have made me a regular viewer!
