Lifetime Movie Network now part of AT200

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just got this.

Great news! Effective July 8, 2008, Lifetime Movie Network (LMN) is available in America’s Top 200 and higher on DISH Network! LMN had formerly only been available to customers subscribing to America’s Top 250 and higher.

LMN, DISH Network channel 109, has movies from a woman's perspective and distinctive point of view!

Movies are for and about women that connect with who they are and their experiences, and cover every genre from romance and mystery to drama and comedy, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Thanks, Scott for the info -- My wife will be pleased, and well I don't mind a chick flick every now and then, either.

However, Scott's news begs the frequent question: If I (or we) didn't visit this board, how would we find out about such DISH programming news? We are a small percentage of DISH's subscribers, so I guess the masses will eventually stumble on to it or DISH may take the time to print it on a monthly statement. Every couple of weeks particularly after the the first day of the month, I intentionally browse all of my channels to see if any have changed from "red" to "blue" -- either indicating a new channel available to my package or a free preview.

Well, I'd be shocked if this news isn't a precursor to seeing LMN and Lifetime HD's... Lifetime Ent is a joint venture between Disney (whom dish seems to be on good terms with) and Hearst (who also has stakes in the ESPN family and the A&E family of channels) plus, it seems they (e* and Lifetime) have kissed and made up after that whole debacle a few years back.

Not to sound ignorant (but it will probably come out that way anyhow), a couple of female-skewed stations might make e*'s HD upgrades an easier sale in households where the wife controls the checkbook.

Probably the only channel LESS important to me than the World Fishing Network.... But congrats to those interested.... although I'm sure less than .0001% who are will be reading this forum today....

My wife and daughters love those LT channels.

The two Lifetimes are the only two channels my wife wants in HD

All I know is if they Add Lifetime-HD and LMN-HD, they sure as hell better add Speed-HD that same week.

Its bad enough that she's got Bravo-HD now. (SD shows that take up HD space on the DVR).

Do what I did for my son's shows on Cartoon Network HD (Yeah right). Force them to record off the SD format channel, therefore less space.
