Justin.tv was created by Mr. Justin for the sole purpose of lifecasting. Although this awesome young man had a great thing goin', the dude couldn't keep a camera strapped to his head until 2050. After time this site was transformed into something wonderful. A website where you can come and follow in his footsteps. You can lifecast 24/7... things were great. When I first joined, I wasn't a hot shot... but over time, for some unidentifiable reason, people actually seemed to enjoy watching me. So I kept at it, and soon my lifecast/showcast was pretty damn big! Something has come to change all of this. It's arabic, spanish, french, etc. sports and news channels who are taking the suffix ".tv" a bit too literally. MagicRich, who had an average of 300 viewers per show, is now lucky to get 150 --- these sports channels are taking over what used to be a great site. Let's not let this happen. We know better than that. This petition is to vanish all foreign channels and sports/news channels off of Justin.tv for the sake of it english-speaking audience, the original audience, the lifecasters. Thanks. - Aiiron

Seriously tired of clicking on random channels just to find soccer games or news in another language. This used to be about real people sharing their lives not a cable box substitute. Fix this.
