The alt channels are now only used for football games that are shown on a regional network but not on the national network. It only happens during non-conference play when there are so many games on Saturday and is not used for any other sport even if they have overlapping games. I only recall it happening once last year for 1 game. This Saturday, there are 2 games on regionals and not on the national network. That is most alt channels I have ever seen used at once. I’ve never understood why they keep so many alt channels active when they never use them.
On a related note, the 8/22 uplink report implies that Dish could be testing the addition of streaming versions (SVOD) of the regional channels. Perhaps integrated into the EPG or in the on-demand area. Of course, they could be nothing, but it is interesting.
