Message: Losing HGTV and Food TV

[Rey]

Yea like these aren't a waste of bandwidth.

yeah pretty much

 

[Slamminc11]

well it's past "tonight" and both channels are still up and running, so I guess we can put chicken little back into it's cage...

 

[Islandguy43]

oh did ya mean to say MLB Network and Nascar Pass?? they both doing wonderful..

Well if you are gonna throw stones, I have Vs HD and MSG & Msg PLus, and MSG Buffalo all in HD, all on TWC, plus over 70 other HD Channels and real VOD. I am ready for the real hockey season to start Thrusday Night, and will be doing PIP between CBC and Vs. So watch where your throw your bragging Directv stones:rant:

 

[vaylon]

Nice to know everythings working still.

My guess: Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI) needs a separate contract from E.W. Scripps Company (the local stations and newspapers) now for carriage. The two companies split either last year or two years ago.

Re Slamminc11: Wait 24 hours and see what happens. October 1 starts a whole new business quarter.

I thought the trolls were supposed to stay under their respective bridges..................

 

[pabeader]

trolls belong under bridges, yes?

 

[ercjncpr]

this looks like some kind of promotional garbage for some fan sites. I have the Classic Bronze 100, HD/Platinum included and I am watching Food Network right now

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have asked around at Dish and no one knows anything about it.

Those two domains are owned by a company called "MarkMonitor, Inc." What's spooky is that Wikipedia does not have an entry for this company, yet they maintain a large number of Domains. Google "MarkMonitor Inc" and you'll see what I mean.

 

[Harmeister]

Those DNS servers are for Scripps Network Interactive though, so who knows. (although the domain itself doesn't resolve to a page on my browser, might just be for dns. Can't ping it either)

 

[Raymie]

They are actual sites (they look like the networks' image campaigns), and there's no doubt SNI made them, but this is weird advertising.

We need another uplink report. It appears they may have added two barker channels to inform us of the unreasonable demands of Scripps Networks Interactives. These channels are showing up true FTA. It looks like Midnight tonight.

 

[jmccurrytech]

If they pull all the Scripps Networks the shi* really will hit the fan. HGTV, GAC, Food Network, Fine Living, and DIY!!!

[Raymie]

The mailing address will go up on the News Monitor tonight. Attn: Brooke Johnson and Attn: Jim Samples will get it read by high-level management (the presidents of Food Network and HGTV, respectively).

[bigrich]
