Dish may drop E! and Style

What about E! channel?
 
These guys don't understand that, they just go with what even makes Dish Network not look as bad, They just down play everything.

If Chuck Dropped everything but the shopping channels, these guys would still be like

"OH well, I only liked the shopping channels anyway"
 
Maybe the holdup is the RSN CSN Phily. Perhaps Comcast doesn't want to include this channel. They've already dropped the RSN CSN CA.
 
This certainly will not fare well for Comcast. This will probably make the Feds look even harder at the pending merger with NBC. If they can't play nice now it will get even worse when they get bigger and gain control of USA, SyFy, MSNBC, CNBC, Bravo, Chiller, and Sleuth.
 
no big loss with e or style never watched those channels add some really good hd not these crappy shopping channels and e and style
 

+1 I hope they block the merger real bad or put some real teeth into the merger
 

Thanks, couldn't have said it better.

I don't watch any of these channels either, but I would be PO'ed if the channels were lost. At some point you're going to lose a channel you do watch if this keeps up.

Is that in the Top 100,200 how about Top 250?

So how would one Subscribe to Fashion?

Fashion TV is in HD Platinum [Note: MoviePlex and Pixl are but are not listed on the site since they were recently added].
However, I would not say that the programming is equivalent although you think it would be from the names of the channels.
If Style and E! are dropped from Dish, hopefully they add channels in their place like they did when FX, FSN, and Nat Geo were gone for a little while. My guess is that Fashion TV would be in the place for Style. I am not sure about E!. What entertainment channel would be a filler for it that is not already in America's Top 120?

Well, if you gave me the choice between Dish losing E! and Style, vs Directv losing the Golf Channel, I'll happily take the Dish option.

What is "scary" is that Comcast owns E!, Style, Golf Channel, and Versus. They also have part of G4. I also guess this is why we do not see PBS Kids Sprout, MLB Network, FEARnet, and TV One on Dish.
 

I guess Dish Network will have to create their own entertainment channel?(they did it to The Weather Channel which gave The Weather Channel a cold dose of reality).

Front page news in the local MudSlide - TV Disputes threaten to hit viewers.

Suddenlink Cable is in DANGER of losing all the Viacom channels because of a 20% rate hike and Viacom pushing "R Rated" EPIX movie channel.

DirecTV is having carriage dispute with RayCom Video Group so local NBC might disappear off DirecTV tomorrow.

Local Ramar Communications is also in dispute with DirecTV wanting them to either carry all 4 of its channels (FOX, MyTV, CW and Telemundo all are carried except Telemundo) or stop advertizing that they carry ALL local stations.

Just shows that Dish is not the only one!

Until these carriers grow some backbone and start saying NO these media giants will price gouge us into oblivion.

Alternate channels are the way to go - tell them you are tooo expensive, we will create our own channel like yours for 1/2 the price - go to ____.

There is no R-rated Epix channel that I am aware of.
 
I always support Dish in these things... They are having lots of disputes lately. Everyone is not a 'bully'. It would probably be a good idea if Dish tried to work out the next few negotiations quietly. They are starting to get a perception problem and Dish is starting to look like the are the lowballing 'bully' of the industry.
