They'll need to change the package name to "America's Top 202"
They're lying by including the word "TOP" in the middle of that name as it is! lol. More than 1/2 of them I'd bet nobody ever watches, and they are just there to increase the count for marketing purposes.
But the worthless channels probably have great ratings. I think Bravo and A&E are garbage, but they are doing very well rating wise. Channels like SyFy may have issues though.
Therein lies the true answer. You think Bravo and A&E are garbage, I like and watch programming off of A&E. Joe Blow hates sports, I love them. On the other hand, I don't watch, or have a need for, kiddie programming. I also realize that the service isn't geared toward my likes or dislikes. It's a big world out there and somebody is going to like something that nobody else likes....
Everybody's favourite channels are like opinions and @$$holes, everybody has one
Exactly. What is "worthless" is in the eye of the beholder. A&E and Bravo may very well be better bargains (ratings to fee) for Dish to broadcast verses ESPN. A la carte isn't coming to the set top box services, so most of the talk is wasted hypotheticals.
I know it's not related, but does NatGeo allow access to their streaming service using our Dish credentials ? I tried to add their channel yesterday, it re-directed to Dish, and on the website, it said it was all good and activated. On the Roku (app), it gave an error about not being authorized. At first I thought it was related to the quoted part but I didn't realize this was for Nat Geo Wild until now, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I have AT120 and it includes Nat Geo's 'base' channel.
I just checked and my nat geo on the roku is working fine. I had to reauthorize as it said my last session expired, but everything works once i reauthorized using my dish credentials. I have at200 which includes the base, but not natgeo wild.
I plan to try it again but I got tired of it yesterday (got the new Roku stick and set up/authorized almost a dozen channels).
Can anyone confirm if the rumored moves today actually happened?

Looking at the report from James Long at the least some of the changes were made. I see BHTV is now finally labeled LAFF.
Hard to say.... This page, https://www.mydish.com/station/TVLND, says it's not. Doesn't mean it is updated though.
What happened to LOGO channel? My wife watches crap on that one all day long and I see it is still listed on the DISH website in the top 250 and Everything pack , but I don't even see a red channel version in the guide under all channels. I don't have it locked out either.
Just to be sure you are looking for it at 254.... It is now hidden if not subscribed to and as you do mention I think it is now only in the Top250/Everything. If you have that I would try an account refresh.
I also have TV Land with Welcome Pack. However, my deactivated receivers also get TV Land, and that usually only happens with free preview channels. Dish has been slow to update the free preview page on the website lately, and the free previews apparently no longer show up in the Uplink Reports.
