ARLINGTON, VA -- 
After a successful missile launch that destroyed a wayward U.S. spy satellite last week, the Navy is now making plans to shoot down the ABC Family Channel satellite.
Navy officials say that the satellite, which primarily beams syndicated re-runs of sitcoms like "Full House" and "8 Simple Rules" to cable and satellite TV subscribers, no longer provides any benefit to the country.
The Pentagon has concerns that, if the satellite is allowed to eventually fall to Earth, foreign countries could gain access to the information on-board, including all 42 episodes of the Christina Applegate series "Jesse" and the 2004 made-for-TV movie "The Karate Dog" starring Pat Morita and featuring the voice of Chevy Chase.
The satellite is also used by Sirius Satellite Radio's OUTATIME channel that plays only songs from the "Back To The Future" soundtrack.

Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on
the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get
irked while people think about worries that they plainly do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the
whole thing without having side-effects , people
could take a signal. Will likely be back to
get more. Thanks
