Actually, yes.I like to monitor channel 207 (and 151), the Headlines channel. Normally, it contained CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, Fox Business, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN in various combinations depending on whether the stock market was open or not. Yesterday, MSNBC was gone. Today, still gone. It's Fox, Fox Business, CNN, and Bloomberg, even though markets are closed. Anybody have any inside info on why MSNBC is gone from the mosaic? Perhaps some kind of "dispute" with Dish?

Interesting...thanks. But yet MSNBC and CNBC are available in their normal places, at 208 and 209, with guide data, while MSNBC is missing from the Headlines channel. Maybe somebody on Dish chat would know for sure what the deal is. On second thought, probably not.
Yes, that would be expected, until the channels actually get pulled. (If they get pulled.) I only remember one really nasty dispute (AMC in 2012) when Dish moved the channels to new channel numbers before they got pulled, to make them harder to find. However, Dish is not going to use their apps (such as Dish Headlines) to promote channels that may soon be in dispute, or are still in negotiations even if the negotiations are actually going well. This was a routine practice in the Premium Showcase app (when Dish still had a Premium Showcase app) where certain premium packages would disappear from being listed there for awhile. At the same time, Dish would stop offering promotional discounts on those packages, and stop advertising them to new customers. Then, after a long-term contract was finally reached, those premium packages would show up in the app again, and promo discount offerings would resume.
I know they are today. But yesterday they did a pretty typical news day, and Dish Headlines didn't have it. See what happens Monday.
They let everyone off. They did have someone on when they had updates and news conferences on the Nashville bombing. They always do that during the holidays.
For now, they will stay on their regular channel numbers. I would not expect to see them in the Dish Headline channel, since Dish is preparing for a dispute with the NBC Universal channels. At a minimum, this dispute may involve NBC Sports Network, all of the regional NBC Sports channels (the ones Dish is still carrying, anyway), Golf Channel, NBC Universo, and all of the local NBC and Telemundo stations owned by Comcast/NBC.
Never fails . NBCSN is just getting ready for hockey!
That is an appealing capability, if for no other reason but to avoid commercials... Unless these news channels all synchronize their ads. Do they?
I've actually done a little testing on that over the years. Most of the time when I leave one channel for another due to a commercial break the next channel is also doing a commercial. So, yes, I believe they all break at exactly the same time. And it is not just the news it is regular programming as well.
No, they don't. I very often have the mosaic on in my home office, with FXNWS, FXBUS, MSNBC, CNN and they break at varying times.
There is this election going on today. That might have something to do with it.
