Heres why...<br /> <br /> #1 Its in the Top250 package, and I would estimate that about 12% actually subscribe to this package unlike AT120 which is about 50% <br /> <br /> #2 I have been selling new accounts for 12 years, I can&#039;t honestly remember that last time anyone insisted that they get the Style channel<br /> <br /> #3 I can&#039;t imagine anyone calling to complain that this channel is missing, I doubt many people will realize its missing if its removed.<br /> <br /> End result? Dish looses this channel for a month or so, Style realizes they are loosing all the revenue and Charlie gets his way again. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote> What about E! channel?</div>
