I work for Metro news ... all i gotta say is stop hating its not our fault our job bothers youwe are not allowed to leave a message and it takes a while for the computer to connect us so thats the silence or hang up u think you hear. Maybe if ppl were nicer to us than we would be nicer back. Oh and btw the donotcall list... ya that ish dont exist everybody tells me that they're on it... hope u didnt pay for it

I wish they would stop calling!  I do not pick up the phone because I'm tired of telemarketers, etc.  My time is valuable to me.  Why can't a company stop calling after 20 times of  being ignored!!!  There should be a law against this invasion.  I pay for my phone, and I do not want to go through this type of situation.

Does anyone know how to STOP the calls????

works in va is cox. just give number say stop calling!

We just got a new number due to moving and lo and behold we get at least 3-4 calls EACH DAY from Metro News (we dont know who they are) but there is no one EVER on the other end of the line - it just disconnects

Calls come in daily and nobody is on the other end.  Calls come in 2 X daily! Please stop callling!!

Thanks for putting this up it has helped me:)

They said they were Cox Communications, which happens to be my cable and ISP server.  They said I needed their telephone service, which I don't.  I also do not think it is the same Cox that I am already getting service from.

Thanks for the info, I called the 800 number and got a live person who said they'd remove my number from their call list.

Since I cancelled my local newspaper subscription I keep getting calls from them....over and over...all days and times. I don't answer it anymore but the one time I did I told them I don't want to renew and to never call me again...yeah, that worked out real well.

What is wrong with these ppl they won't answer and I don't want them calling me. I just got my landline how did they get it..hello!

I live in Tn and they call me asking if I have charter tv, home phone, and internet  , please tell me why this matters to them but metro news service is annoying and needs to give it up

This number calls on a daily basis and I would like them to stop plz. I hope you can help me with this

I am getting 5-8 calls a day no one answers and there is neveer a message left.
I do not have cable or get the newspapers....  This is what the Better Business B, has ti say.

getting repeated calls for 303 302 7929.  Metro News Service.  Rings once, i pick up, and they hang up.

We've had the same calls at my work.  I pick up no answer.  I call no anwer but get voicemail, I have left several messages to stop calling.  They stopped for awhile but have recently picked back up to 2-3 times a day.

These folks are used by our local newpaper here in Colorado Springs, The Gazette.  I emailed The Gazette at 'customercare@gazette.com' and received this message back from a Gazette customer rep "Metro News is one of our contractors who does outbound calling for us. I will request to get your number removed right away."

So, if you are getting calls from Metro News Service (303-302-7929) email the Gazette or your local paper to have your number unlisted.

Keeping my fingers this stops the calls forever!!

Don't hate?  I have a job to do too and getting calls like this is a pain.  If you are defending the company you are working for, why don't you tell them about this thread SO if they are a good company they can figure out a better way to get you and your co-workers connected to customers.  Tell than playa - haters going to hate on this thread!!

Metro news serv. Called twice this morning same area code but different #303-231-8842
