DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

[KAB]

Yep, Monsters, with a few exceptions, was pretty bad...especially toward the end. Back then, when a lot of us were just starting to experience HD, it had some appeal...until we realized, HD or not, 9 1/2 out of 10 movies s*cked. And in the end, the same four or five movies they aired a month, made it even worse,

Monsters HD was a great idea in concept, but their execution was poor. If you spent a Saturday afternoon watching, you were pretty much done with their offerings for the month.

Swanni thinks that AMC will be back on DISH by Monday...

I have a feeling he is wrong about this one.

Well not the first time he may be wrong

Interesting article though

Seems to be more wishful thinking than any type of factual reporting.

That would be a quick turnaround if it did happen

Article was dated Sept 20th, so that would have been last Monday, Right?

I received an e-mail earlier this week the Drop The Dish letter from AMC, telling me all the programs I have missed by not changing to another provider that carries AMC. Does not sound like they are close to any agreement with Dish.

Scott, you read Swanni.......why?

I wish he was right this time.

I think it will eventually be back on Dish. The speed at which it happens will depend on how the trial is going. Charlie may be stubborn, but he's not stupid. I know he lets his feelings often cloud his judgment. But, the dollars could be huge with this one. And, money talks. Dish can save a heap of cash on the monetary judgement. AMC can get its XX million subs back.

No, it was last Thursday. Monday has come and gone. So he was dead wrong.

I think that was what Rwwatson was saying....this past Monday was supposed to be the date....

I still believe that there will be a settlement between the two parties before TWD premiers.

to be fair, he was predicting it because the Emmys were on Sunday and he was predicting that AMC would settle with Dish due to Mad Men and Breaking Bad losing out at the Emmys. channel disputes do not dictate the Emmys, it the board who choses the award winners at the Emmys that determines who wins an award.

well i guess Swanni is wrong again.

well i guess Swanni is wrong again.

If I only had $1 for each time someone said that.....

Not a chance, IMO. This court case is just in the embryonic stage. Fire up the Rokus...if you got one.

Yep,that's how I see it as well Kab.

Call and ask for loyalty. But you are are a little late getting in the game.
