Antenna TV

[whitty]

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.

I don't see the appeal to Dish.

I don't see the appeal to Dish.

Appeal could be if they paid Dish to carry them. Probably not likely though.

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.

Good point.

I asked Antenna TV the exact same thing after MeTV started on DISH. Here was their response on March 29th:

It's something we're ultimately working toward, but I don't have any guesses as to when it may happen. There's a different set of rights for national coverage as opposed to local coverage, which is how we're set up on local OTA stations across the country.

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?
