CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

Wonder if they'll reach an agreement before Tuesday (Election Day) so they can avoid losing the potentially 14 million Dish viewers.

Does Dish give viewer information to Nielsen? If not, CNN won't see a drop of 14 million viewers (at least according to ratings, which is all that matters).

Providers do not give any info to Nielsen. It is obtained via diaries and set meters connected to a TV.
 
I bet he does. You have to know what the competition is doing.
 
Finding I am quite content without CNN. In fact, life is better. Listening to less bloviating and 30 minutes of national news is more than enough to keep me informed.

Yeah nelson61, I kinda stay away from the news anymore. Depressing. But I do miss my TRU TV. Some of it was funny as hell, but there also was some dumb stuff on there.

This dispute will be resolved some day, hopefully not at our expense. I can do without CNN.
 
I'm 90% certain that what I've missed from CNN since they've been gone is basically:

ISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLAISiSEBoLA

And amazingly neither one has gotten me even though I haven't been monitoring them minute by minute with the help of Wolf Blitzer. Hmmm. Is it possible that the totality of two things that CNN is capable of reporting on in any one month is...not a useful measure of "what's going on"?

Classic Jibber Jabber!
 
I just love how Dish is promoting aljazeera America as the place to go on Election Day. And what's even better is the promos are in HD and the channel isn't.

Promos maybe. Actual channel never was on Dish, nor ever likely to be.
 
I get my main news off Facebook (in the feed) and on SatelliteGuys. I figure if it was big enough news it would get posted to both. Once in a while I will watch the news.
 
Only channel I really miss is TCM. I watch that channel here and there. But otherwise, I didn't even notice these channels were gone!
It is the only channel I miss, but I have over 200 movies recorded from TCM, so it is holding me over.
