Sarah Palin shutting down subscription-only web channel
Sarah Palin Channel, we hardly knew ye.
Starting August 1, you'll no longer have to shell out $9.95 a month for the musings of the former Alaska governor and vice presidential nominee. Her subscription-only online channel is shutting down, just a year after it launched last summer. Palin promised to discuss "important issues facing the nation" and delivered videos titled "Gun Free Doesn't Equal Crime Free" and "Moose Meat: It's What's for Dinner!"
The channel made its announcement on July 4, Variety reports, and said all of Palin's content will now be available for free on her political action committee site, SarahPac.com, as well as her Facebook page. The move ends her partnership with Tapp, an online video startup. For super fans who forked over $99.95 for a whole year of the Sarah Palin Channel, Tapp will offer refunds of remaining subscriptions, or let the user apply it to another one of its channels — Alive with Joan Lunden (focusing on breast cancer patients and survivors), New Life TV (a Christian relationship show), and K-Love TV (a Christian music channel).
