the GOP-E gained control of the networks(DTV) programing

Like most here, I read several newspapers every day. I am embarrassed to confess I do not remember the Republicans purchasing Direct TV.

Could you point me towards a source?

There’s a growing network better than Fox called OANN (one AMERICA news network). It’s not many areas yet but growing fast.

Well, TCM (Turner Classic Movies) was removed, and I see that it came back. Maybe same will happen with FNS if it is dropped. What the heck is going on with DISH lately?

Dear xxxxxx,

Starting January 30, 2015, DISH is changing pricing on select programming and services. Customers will see up to a $5 increase on their programming. You will receive detailed information about these changes in your next bill.

Thank you for being a valued DISH customer.

I see you are the only person on this thread who understands what is happening. Dish works for its subscribers by keeping its costs down. This means they play hardball with networks to get the best deal. If that means some channels are gone for a few days or a week, so be it.

I survived having no CNN and Cartoon Network a month ago.

So many knee jerk reactionaries here.

And if they hadn’t played hardball with CNN/Turner, the increase would be more.

I like to see Dish negotiating on behalf of its customers.

My Dish bill is going up $5 a month on Jan 1st.

Only FNC content we regularly watch is Megyn Kelley. With the exception of FoxBusiness, the remaining Fox content is a cesspool.

NewsMax is good up until O’Reilly/Olberman wannabe lightweight Berliner disrupts the midday programming.

Beck’s startup TheBlaze, content is getting much better.

” Also they’re going to drop PBS.”

Are you serious?

For some reason that surprises me.

It’s probably not that FoxNews isn’t popular. They just couldn’t take CNN off and leave FoxNews on.

I was about to drop DISH over the loss of TCM, but it was eventually restored. I don't watch Fox News anymore, save from the occasional episode of RedEye. I'm sure they'll work out whatever the problem is. The TCM thing involved all of Turner's channels. The Fox thing may involve more than the news channel.

If if weren't for my wife, I'd cancel all cable/satellite programming. I have tons of Blu-rays and DVDs and laserdics and can stream the rest.

Snipe is talking about a network started by Paul Weyrich which at one time was very very conservative it had the who who’s of the conservative movement on there but after some time the Gop took the network from Paul and ran it into the ground.

DISH blocked FOXNews during the night and only one of FOX’s station is active, “FOX SPORTS LIVE”.

“And so your Tea Party station is what?”

Fox isn’t it. If it is, then you have no idea what the TEA Party is.

“WTG Dish! I like to see Dish negotiating on behalf of its customers”

You *think* that is what is happening? Try Charlie Ergen is just a cheap bastard and is always trying to get a massive profit margin for his $15billion self. This is the same guy that makes salaried exempt employees clock in and out to go to the bathroom.
