Noticed this morning they moved Ion West and AXS (formerly HD NET)

Ion West (was 347) now 306 (next to Ion East)
AXS (was 306) now 340

There are "to watch ______ tune to" slates on 306-1 & 347
 
Did I read somewhere that NBC Sports Network was going to move to channel 220? It would make sense to move CNN and HLN to be with the other news channels, too.... but the ion channels together is nice.
 
CNN paid Directv to be at that spot.

If NBC Sports moves to 220 what about CBS Sports Net?

i read that also but, its never happen
 
move it to 219 and get rid of that paid program channel (and would be next to Golf)
Move CBS Sports to 220
 
I never noticed that the Qubo shows were on the ion-west channel. Neither ion-east nor my local ion shows Qubo programming.
 
DirecTV may as well keep NBC Sports Network at ch. 603.

If DirecTV gets around to adding Pac-12 Network, which has seven screens, the channels beginning at 220 may be a fit.



Hope not to nit-pick with channel locations but having east and west feeds of Ion Television next to each other is suitable and smart.

Apparently NBC (Comcast) was willing to renew for slightly less on the condition that NBCSC be placed near the ESPNs. CBS has less leverage at least right now.

Network is premier destination for exclusive 100% live music programming

DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2012 -- /PRNewswire/ -- By positioning AXS TV near MTV, VH1, and Fuse in the HD line-up, DirecTV is offering viewers a true music programming option. Moreover, music fans now have the opportunity to watch 100% live concerts; live look ins to exclusive performances at sound check, rehearsal and concerts; and intimate chats with today's biggest artists.

With MTV and VH1 concentrating on reality television and Fuse playing packaged video clips, AXS TV is the only network programming music and doing it truly live. AXS TV Concerts airs 100% live events 2-3 times weekly, including upcoming events from Seether, The Darkness, multiple Grammy winning artist Alanis Morissette, country music star Sara Evans and a Halloween show with a set list chosen by AXS TV viewers from alternative rockers Umphrey's McGee among many more.

Live LIVE isn't just an AXS TV tag line. AXS TV lives LIVE. We aren't just playing music. We love music. We aren't just programmers. We are fans.

MTV celebrates music videos once a year that they don't even play throughout the year. Fuse not only isn't live with their music news, they repeat it multiple times a day.

AXS TV believes in television. Fuse believes in Top 100 Bangin' Bodies on repeat. AXS TV believes the future of television is LIVE. MTV believes the future is creating reality stars.

Live LIVE, Live MUSIC. Only on AXS TV. The premier destination for music fans is on DirecTV Channel 340.
