See, all you have to do is ask!Now I see six news channels on Dish Headlines again!
See, all you have to do is ask!It is possible that Dish was unaware that they were using the four-channel format for the news mosaic. So, someone at Dish must have read this thread, and got the information to the appropriate department to make the change.
Which two channels get added to it when it is in the six-channel format? If they are financial-themed channels, it might make sense to include them during the day while the markets are open. That is one possible reason why the number of channels shown may vary.4 channels again. I think sometimes Dish Headlines airs it with 6 channels and sometimes 4. I think it varies.
Right now, the Dish Headlines channel is showing MSNBC and Bloomberg on the right-hand side of the screen. The other four boxes are gray, and show "Currently Unavailable."I'm presuming people with Welcome Pack don't get much out of this.

I just checked the six-channel view (see the post right above yours) so I know that Bloomberg is the other channel that gets added. MSNBC is always there, even in the four-channel view, as far as I know. The remaining channel in the four-channel view is C-SPAN, if I remember correctly. So, this seems to confirm my theory about the six-channel view, adding financial-themed channels during the day in order to track the stock market. Then, it switches to four of the main news channels for prime time.I know Fox News and CNN are always in the 4 channels showing. I can’t remember the other two. But at prime time is often when it’s 4 channels showing; so I’ll check then. I do remember that Fox Business only shows when they show 6 channels. Anyways, I’ll get back to you tonight.

The news channels are on all the time and the financial news are on in the morning and afternoon after the closing bell of the stock market.I'm looking at the primetime lineup on Dish Headlines Channel and the channels showing are Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, and Bloomberg. So when it's not during daytime on weekdays it doesn't show Fox Business or CNBC. So crodrules was right about them being financial news networks that don’t air at other times.

Boy they must be getting desperate.I was mistaken. I saw C-Span on Dish Headlines with the 4-news channels last night.

Sometimes the fourth channel is Bloomberg, and sometimes it's C-Span.It's interesting that Dish carries second-tier news channels but regards them slow lightly that none are in the fourth slot when there are four channels. That fourth slot goes to CSPAN.
I'm presuming that the Dish Headlines channel just got a little more useful, at least for part of the day. A free preview of Fox Business just started today.I'm presuming people with Welcome Pack don't get much out of this.
May I suggest that you also forward this post to this thread: https://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/threads/we-need-a-better-joke-thread.353949/Oh goody, a business channel.
Host: Thanks for being here David. The Dow has dropped 400 pts today because of concerns regarding Covid-19 and its impact on the economy. This was a sharp contrast to yesterday when it went up 400 pts. What changed?
David: Nothing.
Host: Has to be something.
David: Nope.
Host: Then why the change in trader attitudes.
David: No idea really. It is like the ups and downs regarding China trade. One week they are happy, next week they are apprehensive. But the underlying reality hasn’t changed.
Host: So what you are saying is our jobs are meaningless?
David: Afraid so.
Host: Man... this is depressing.
David: *pulls up knitting* Tell me about it.
