I noticed a few days back on channel 103 that MGM HD is listed as free until 11/19. The Blaze, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, NickToons, and AlJazeera Network are listed until 11/24.
I don't know if that necessarily means anything.
As long as a channel that is similar that I do not already catch is in the place of a dropped channel with something that we can actually watch, then I guess that we are okay. The channel we miss the most would be Boomerang. We watched HLN and CNN for Forensic Files, but unfortunately, they air the same ones repeatedly. We also liked TCM when a good movie would play; MGM is okay but not all that great. However, they are not worth a substantial increase.
