New premium channel

[mrcano]

I didn't know where to post this, hopefully I don't get flamed. Anyway, I'm pretty sure all you guys might be aware that MGM, Paramount, and Lions Gate are launching a new premium channel. I came across this interesting article and, it turns out they are launching it online first, now to me that sound like a good idea, but again, are you willing to pay for such a service. Me being a Dish sub, I kind of would of like it if they were to launch it on cable or satellite first.

Thanks for posting. I know I won't be buying this one.

Moved to the Satellite & Cable TV forum...

See ya

I heard something about this, but hadn't bothered to look up any details. Thanks.

I heard Showtime gets screwed in this, since Paramount was their main supplier.

As if we don't have enough 'extras' to pay for.

Those links are pretty old..., here's more up-to-date info...

It has an awful name- "Epix". Also, what does this mean for MGM channel?
