So, if Tennis channel is ALWAYS on free preview during the Grand Slams, then why does one needs to subscribe to it? IMHO, that's an AWFUL business model: They should put it on preview on the week BEFORE the Grand Slams and then, state that if you want to watch Grand Slam action, call your provider and subscribe to it!

Bobby, don't get me wrong: I already get Tennis Channel year-around: I am a Top250 - or whatever the name is nowadays - subscriber. I am just questioning Tennis' channel business reason to always put their channel on freeview during the times of the year that would make more sense for a tennis fan to subscribe to it.

Do Dish Network get spams offering to increase the bandwidth on their Tennis Channel ?

 

[Mr Tony]

I agree. Seems goofy to give it for free when its really good and make you sub when its not so good

 

[TalonDancer]

The "preview the best" strategy makes sense if you think that Dish isn't trying to get people to sub to this ONE channel (i.e. Tennis) but rather to consider upgrading to the America's Top 250 package to get the Tennis channel + others they might like, but hadn't decided to upgrade yet.

The previews are setup to grab your attention that is true,but all the Premium Movie Channels like HBO,Showtime,Cinemax and Starz do show a new movie every Saturday night.

 

[Bobby]

and HBO, Showtime, and Starz have some really good original programming as well.

Sorta like the local PBS station that puts the really good stuff on during pledge week.

Our local PBS station has more like pledge month...
