If Charlie ran a TV station...

[Raymie]

(This is humor)

What if Charlie Ergen ran a TV station?

1. It'd be on channel 22 branded as Catch-22.
2. It'd likely be called KERG-TV (get it? K-ERGen)
3. At various times, certain programs would be unavailable because Charlie wasn't talking with their syndicators. (RC disputes)
4. People with certain types of antennas couldn't receive the channel for no reason. (TurboHD)

the tv station would be sued for (anything and everything )

 

[Raymie]

Good one! Yup, they'd always be in some lawsuit with the FCC or other stations in the market.

they would give away prizes like trips to nashville for a concert but you have to provice your own transperstation to an airport 500 miles away. if you cant afford to get there, then you can take the alternate prize of a free hat and t shirt from vendors.

 

[Pen15head]

oh, and every other commercial would be for adult ppvs as well.

Too funny, too true!

All sports events would be "Not available in your area"

LMAO! You remembered me! Oh, the Starz MP3 speaker they sent me, has a short in it too. They told me that I could fix it with electrical tape and a soldering iron!

Too funny, too true!

It is true! That's what happened to me. I was supposed to be a guest on the new CMT Front Row concert series!

 

[HIFI]

a free hat and t shirt, why so generous?

 

[jwgreen68]

Apparently, Dish couldn't get CMT to chip in for anything other than the free concert ticket!

Charlie's station wouldn't be on D*,E*, or cable. He would be holding out for a better deal for his customers.

Turbo subscribers would be getting screwed. Charlie would not be giving them new HD.

We would be sitting around on Wednesday waiting for the uplink report.

He would hire overseas phone reps that you could not understand.

So, pretty much like he runs Dish now.

 

[Raymie]

Oh yeah...the advertising sales people would speak Spanish, not English.

And every new program or program preemption announcement would occur at 11:19 or some odd time on Wednesdays.

 

[randyoh]

For year after year all the programming would be in SD and Charlie would do monthly editorials on the newscasts saying the HD programming would be "Coming Soon".

 

[tomcrown1]

Charlie would charge you to turn on the station
He would charge if a phone line is not set up'
And he would call you everyday to verify that you are human and can watch the station or he would pull the plug.

 

[Claude Greiner]

Its coming, You wait and see!

 

[ehren]

he would bring back Bingo Tv.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

 

[smroycro]

It would require new equipment that you can rent or lease...but would need to be exchanged every 2-3 years.

If Charlie Ergen ran a TV station, it would probably be a darned sight better than most of the crap that's on the air now.

 

[Pepper]

True, but any time it ran a commercial your speakers would explode!
