I had sent an e-mail to AntennaTV about their coming to Dish Network. Today I received an answer that they would love to be carried by Dish, but they have not agreed to do so. So I was curious if there would be a chance Dish would ever carry AntnnaTV?

I suspect the range of odds of that happening are somewhere between slim and none.
It’s all over the OTA spectrum.

They said in the e-mail they would love to be carried by Dish, but they would not.
If MeTv could get on I do not see why Antenna TV cannot. Does anyone know what MeTV's deal is like?
That's what I was thinking as well. They've been on a roll adding channels that previously were generally limited to OTA subchannels...MeTV, BUZZR, Laff, etc.
I asked Antenna TV the exact same thing after MeTV started on DISH. Here was their response on March 29th:
Yep, ultimately the balls are always squeezed by the content owners and their "rights".
At least Antenna TV/Dish are discussing it. No OTA here for either THIS or Antenna TV. With METV on Dish now, Antenna TV would be really nice. I have asked Dish for the channel several times. With the possibility of Sinclair buying Tribune (Ch 32-Portland), I figure getting Antenna TV might be easier. We have translators for some of the diginets (5 translators/17 stations). I have asked about 32 from Portland having a translator out here (Astoria) and the engineer informed me that Tribune does not believe in translators. We have ABC/NBC/CBS/PBS/FOX/MYTV. Why not CW out here?
