CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

Um, there are a lot of independents on Fox News and a lot of Libertarians on TheBlaze. Some liberals too. Just goes to show you you don't even watch the channel. Rupert Murdoch is a Libertarian and very few on Fox News have stated they're Republicans. Sean Hannity is a registered conservative, not Republican.

While I'm happy to see CNN back, there is nothing exciting about them anymore. I wish they would start a new "CNN Documentary" or "World Food Network" channel and move "Parts Unknown", "The Sixties", "This is life with Lisa Lang" .... others, to this new channel with unlimited reruns. They could then do what they should have done all along - report real world news! Maybe they could then fill up with CNN International and the old format HLN in those slots. Perhaps CNN could use some tutoring from BBC News? I got used to watching Al Jazeera which felt more "news like" even with SD broadcasts.

Since they are back. Maybe it's best to close the thread before it turns to politics.

I like CNN, the closest thing to "LIVE NEWS" on Dish @ the present time. Personally I am really tired of politics and talking heads. IE: MSNBC & FOX

I am very happy that TCM is back. I spent this evening going through the guide to figure out which movies I am going to record.

As for CNN and HLN - I don't care.

My wife is happy to have them restored,to a much lesser extent so am I.

To those saying don't come crying when we get a price increse,gimmie a freaking break!There will be a price increase regardless of Turner Networks.The one positive that I see,Dish only has so much wiggle room for an increase,hikes like we have seen in the past 2 years and they will catch or surpass dtv.

I would have dropped Dish already but considering I like the Hopper I didn't want to drop Dish too soon and then see Dish and Turner Networks come to an agreement a few days later. If TNT and TBS would have been pulled from Dish that would have signaled this would be a long time dispute lasting many months. It would have made no sense to continuing subscribing to Dish network with that many channels I watch most of the time gone. I already changed to a lower tier channel package subscription because I'm not paying an extra 30 bucks for non existent channels.

I think I know the answer to this, but did Dish finally strike a deal for CNN International when they made up with Turner?

DISH did NOT come to a deal with Turner. They just agreed to turn them on again and resume talking. I am hearing they could go dark again in February if a new deal is not made by then. So the answer to this question would be no.
