cablevision acquires sundance

[hbk409]

just got a message that cablevision acquired sundance

Just under $500 Million for it! I guess if VOOM doesn't do as well, esp. with legal battle with Echostar, they should focus on channels that have much better distribution. So this is a good acquistion for Cablevision, IMO.

does this mean it'll move to the iO package instead of the current premium one?

Channel 192?

Oops, my bad. I even looked at my channel line up before I posted and still missed it. Back to your first question, I would think they would keep it in iO Silver since IFC is there too. They own IFC and both channels show similar content.
