Mark Cuban OWNS HDNet.
Ehren,
Dude, Thursday night Art Mann rocks. Add in Vegas Confessions and you have some must see TV.
Watching those Train wrecks is vastly better than almost any "REALITY" TV. At least those HDnet show are real. Can't Stand "American Karaoke", "Survivor, or as I call it "Click Watch", "Dancing with the Has Been Actors", "Extreme House Renovations for Desperate Housewives" ETC...
In the early days of SatelliteGuys we had a HDNet Forum and Mark answered questions from members...
This rumor has popped up on the otheer site several times over the past several months. OP started another thread there. A thread from about a month ago has been deleted, but there is still some mention in the Smithsonian thread. Total Bull.

This is pretty non-credible, considering the fact that Mark Cuban was prominently featured promoting HDNet on a recent Charlie Chat.
It is quite possible that the HDNET/HDMovie channels are up for contract renewal, but some companies can negotiate without draconian measures like pulling all the channels. Many sign a bridge contract that essentially says that whatever terms are finally agreed to will apply back to the beginning of the temporary contract.
Given the shear number of channels that Dish carries, there are always tons of channels being renewed, but you never hear of it because it happens in the background as a routine business matter.

Not to mention, he, his family and close associates hold the vast majority of the voting stock.
And wasn't it in last night's show, something to the effect that Barron's or somebody voted him one of the top CEOs (of 2007?)?
Troll or misinformed, he certainly has a lack of knowledge regarding control of Dish. And that, while losing some subs in the short run, they just had a good, profitable quarter. And it's about making money, not who's biggest.
My favorite HDNet show is Art Mann Presents.
Mine also.
Aside from the usual (but not automatic) T&A content, Art Mann Presents is the only TV news/documentary program covering a rather large segment of American human activity (namely what they do when they are not working or watching TV).
Man, I wish I knew Mark. He is probably a neighbor of mine, somewhere nearby... Although, he would hate my taste in basketball teams...I know Mark and Mark knows me.
Thats not a bad thing.
It's commonly known, and I've e-mailed him too. Though I'm pretty sure the answer I got was from an assistant.
Art Mann
:up from this corner as well! Art Mann on HDNet is one reason I kept PlatinumHD. I think my 622 is still programmed to record all Art Mann programs and sometimes I even get to watch them before the unprotected ones wash off the bottom. Love the T&A. Sometimes it's there in all its glory, sometimes it's covered over. I could never figure out why the difference. My favorite is the one that covered a bash at Lake of the Ozarks (Party Cove?), can't remember the exact title. Have that one well protected...!
Can't imagine all the stuff the crew gets to witness that never makes the cut!! Scott - If you're ever drafted for the camera crew - let me be your roadie...!
