    Here we go again, Hearst tv group is gone

    It's too bad you can't do this channel selection ala carte... have lost WYFF Greenville(Hearst) NBC affiliate, but would rather have WECT Wilmington anyway, would love to have smattering of stations across the state and get rid of useless channels I never watch...

    Here we go again, Hearst tv group is gone

    25 years ago when this happened, my memory was that the dropped station/network was replaced was a close by station carrying the same network - is there some reason this is no longer allowed? simple replacement of the network would be a nice concession. Looks like when it got close to ratings...

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    I actually like Amusement Park the best of any since one of the early ones(if not the first) which was drone footage around Hollywood sign and the tv towers above the Hollywood sign. There is one song in particular on Amusement Park that I wish I could find the title of.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Not real impressed with March compared to other 2 months. To quote SNL David Pumpkins line, "there's 100 floors of fright, they ain't all gonna be winners...". So it goes with March.

    Dish Scapes on 199 is interesting

    Have enjoyed DishScapes, I leave it on when I am reading. Our calico cat would always run to the tv when the coyote howled. Old radio folks enjoy the tower scenes, especially the night shots.

    HBO/Cinemax Takedown

    I hate AT & T for several reasons dealing with my business phone... I am now beginning to discover I can live without HBO too.

    Hearst Television Inc. blacks out DISH customers in 26 markets

    Dear Hearst: I am finding I can do without you. The Media General and Sinclair stations offer great news and weather. I am still crafting my letter to your advertisers to advise them to move their advertising to these companies, where more viewers are available whilst you are blacked out here...

    DISH really steps up

    Dish offered a HD receiver to replace that last one that wasn't HD as offer for me to stay, it fell through the cracks over 2 months while I was told "it has been shipped"... finally 3rd month and call and find out a technician has to come out and do it. THEN, without my permission, or any...

    Weather nation (Now available on ch 215)

    Any 24 hour channel, whether it be news or weather, is very handy to leave on in an office or waiting room too... For weather junkies, leaving WN on in the background is neat. In this office, the Sirius jazz channel left on has just been replaced by WN. There's no way anyone would want "what...

    Ugly adds...

    Ad companies come up with some strange stuff, I don't go to Hardee's in a kind of quiet protest of their nasty commercials for atleast 10 years, people eating way too big hamburgers, girls eating salads with their hands, the latest I saw had the hamburger crunching when the guy ate it... maybe...

    What is going to happen?

    The comment I hear from satellite and cable customers the most is they would like the chance to pick just the channels they want. For me, I would love to have some other in state network stations... hmmm... do I wanna watch WRAL news or WECT news at 6? I think most consumers would prefer those...
