DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

**Scott Greczkowski** · 05-11-2008 11:13 PM

We will be hearing more about Eastern Arc this Friday.

Stay Tuned as we will be there to bring you all the news as it happens from Team Summit.

BTW it is not known when these new channels will launch, but chances are good they will no launch until tomorrow afternoon. (Although with them putting a PR out this time of the night, it would not surprise me to see them on when I wake up in the morning)

Now they can show the stockholders they're doing something to improve subs and the bottom line when Tuesday rolls around.

Yippe! Just wish a few more of the channels that I watch were on the list. But it will be good to check out some of the new additions.

Not to put too fine a point on things, but there is no TIMEFRAME mentioned for completion of this. It says Dish will launch something Monday. Not which ones. And not how long it will be before they launch all of them.

As to the other channels not on the list, I know what's holding up the Fox. What is the hang up with Viacom?

Also, can someone going to the meet and greet ask when Dish's agreement with the Fox Owned and Operated Stations runs out? I would bet that we will get Speed, Fixed News and FX the day before that agreement runs out.

I probably watch SpikeHD more than anything on a daily basis...

Before I got my HD Service last year I used to watch ESPNews a lot, and now I rarely touch it in non-HD.

I too wish that we had more of the channels that I watch, but I tend to look away from those non-HD channels and of course I have found some fun shows on the HD channels, what guy can resist Get Out! and Bikini Destination on HDNet!
