Dish CMT Front Row Concerts

[joecap1946]

Hi Gang,

Does anyone know if Dish is going to continue the "CMT Front Row" concert series.

This month (September) is Brooks and Dunn, but I can't find any information on upcoming months or concerts.

Thanks in advance.

DISH Network to Present New Franchise 'CMT Front Row Only on DISH Network'
featuring Country Superstars Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. and NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- For
the first time, DISH Network(R) and CMT have partnered to bring country
music's biggest stars to DISH Network subscribers, as announced today by Ira
Bahr, Chief Marketing Officer for DISH Network and Mary Beth Cunin, senior
vice president of Programming Strategy for CMT. Under the deal, six episodes
of the popular CMT series "Invitation Only" will have exclusive premiere
windows on DISH Network's new CMT-branded franchise, "CMT Front Row Only on
DISH Network."
The one-hour, monthly series will kick off on DISH Network on Tuesday, June 2
with Darius Rucker. Upcoming episodes will feature Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley
and Sugarland, with more to be announced. The DISH Network and CMT partnership
also includes content from the critically-acclaimed series "CMT Crossroads,"
and the upcoming "2009 CMT Music Awards" airing live Tuesday, June 16.
"Providing world premiere HD content like CMT's exclusive country music
concert series is just one of the reasons DISH Network is the pay-TV leader in
high quality programming and value," said Ira Bahr, Chief Marketing Office for
DISH Network.
"CMT is known for providing the best in country music programming, and this
new installment of 'Invitation Only' allows us to continue to super serve our
audience with the biggest stars in country today," said Cunin.
"Invitation Only" will be broadcast in HD on DISH Network Ch. 101, and be
available through DISH On Demand prior to airings on CMT. New episodes of
"Invitation Only" will premiere the first Tuesday of each month on DISH,
beginning in June.
A departure from the typical concert special, "Invitation Only" features
country music's biggest stars performing before a small studio audience in
Nashville, taking questions from fans and delivering revealing and candid
answers. Previous episodes on CMT have featured Keith Urban and Alan Jackson.
Additional information about "Front Row Only on DISH Network" features, events
including "CMT's Crossroads," sweepstakes and more will be available soon.

I think the keyword in that sentence is were. Now that they are parting ways with each other.

Also, all the CMT Front Row that were recently aired exclusively by Dish will soon be aired on CMT and Palladia (both HD), but with commercials. The arrangement was Dish got to air them before they were to air to the general public. So, if you missed any of the ones recently aired on Ch. 101 HD, set a Dish Pass, and it will record it when it airs on CMT or Palladia.

I saw that as well. I just can't figure out why they can show these concerts in HD on CMT, but can't seem to show ANYTHING else in HD. Most all of the videos they show are letter boxed, but not HD. Same deal with MTVHD.
