Did ESPN classic move to a new package cause it's been green in my guide since 1am this morning ?

I believe it's in Free Preview.

It's green in my guide too, says it's a subscription channel. Since when?

Since yesterday, its now part of the multisports package.

Thanks for the answer, not that Dish would notify us. The have my email address, how hard is it to mass email their subs?

Oh well, just another channel that I found myself occasionally watching that will be blocked now. Hope this change doesn't cause E* another lawsuit.

D* moved ESPN Classic months ago as well. I am surprised E* took this long to do so. I wonder if this had something to do with that previous lawsuit with ESPN. I have not watched ESPN Classic in quite some time. If I would watch something, it would be Arli$$. However, that was back when we had the superbasic package with cable. I do not watch it much at all when we had D* either. It may be a little disappointing for some sports fans. I hope that this makes room for some more channels since ESPN Classic was in the AT200 pack.

I am not a big sports fan, but the Multisports pack does not seem at a bad price for $5.99/month as long as you have a package that you can add it to. At the same time, it is not the best time for this especially with the economy. Something tells me this is more of an ESPN decision since D* did the same thing months ago. I am also guessing like previously mentioned that this had something to do with the lawsuit E* had against ESPN around August. Those are just my opinions; I do not know the facts about the lawsuit.

Not to complain since I found myself rarely watching ESPN Classic but shouldn't Dish inform their customers before doing something like moving channels to another package?

Dish never has, Dish never will!

I suppose now I can drop down to the Top 120 plus and then add the Sports Pak; that will save me money every month and Dish will lose out on about $10/mo from me. Yeah I know small peanuts but they're move will allow me to save some money.
