I know the previous OLN thread got a little rambunctious and was consequently closed.
However, believe it or not, there are a lot of hockey fans at Dish (also some bullriding fans, I guess) who are interested in the status of OLN negotiations, especially with the playoffs coming soon and no coverage available -- even from the season package (center ice).
Hopefully, we can keep something open for any news on this topic. Those that want to denounce OLN as a minority interest channel need not post. We've heard it all before. The bottom line is there are many minority interest channels on Dish, which is the way it should be. There are many channels that I pay for, but do not watch. Dish subscribers have diverse interests and that's why there are so many diverse channels. That's why Dish needs to negotiate a contract with OLN. If Charlie doesn't feel we (the minority) deserve OLN, then he will lose us to one of the other services that do carry it (which is probably all the rest of them).
Just my $.02 worth...
