Well, at least they are not being sneaky about it.........can't wait until Drudge picks it up.

 

[Jim5506]

I'm sure they are paying a nice chunk-a-change to Charlie to run this 24/7 dis-infomercial.

The more ads are bought on Dish Network, the less our monthly fee goes up in February.

Dreaming ?

All the money and future income will gone to lawsuits.
And your bill will go up in Feb, don't worry.

I'll bet E* isn't getting a dime for this channel. It's Charlie's campaign contribution. Another thing to get me to switch to D*.

 

[DBS Commando]

Is there a press release about this?

If it's true that Charlie isn't getting a dime for this, he might as well get on there and say I SUPPORT OBAMA.

Looks like Charlie is getting a few dimes for this:

"This channel is available to customers subscribing to all packages and is broadcast from the 110° orbital location and will be broadcast though the conclusion of the elections. At this time it is not available to customers on the eastern arc. Please inform customers who inquire that this is paid advertising by the Obama campaign and is not an endorsement of Senator Obama by DISH Network. This space has been purchased similar to any other channel we broadcast, and any other candidate who wishes to purchase a channel through DISH Network will be given the same opportunity. At this time, no other candidates have showed interest in purchasing a channel."

As long as E* offers any other presidential candidate a channel at the same price, which it sounds like they did, I don't see any problem here.

How do I switch to eastern arc

 

[huskerpat]

I've already locked the channel...

 

[Ray_Clum]

What are you talking about... it's the perfect channel... turn it on late at night while you're trying to go to sleep and in 5 minutes or less, you're out!

 

[mdonnelly]

How is this different from buying a full page ad in the NY Times? Does that mean the NYT is endorsing Obama? Okay, they probably will, but they'll take his money too.

 

[jansan]

The EPG finally changed to indicate (PAID AD). The Obama Channel is just like a shopping channel. The channel must inform the viewers it is a paid advertisement and does not express views of this channel or network. Dish knew the rules were in place.

Dish should have issued a press release before launching channel 73.

 

[urizen65]

YAWNNNNN! I am hindered in giving an opinion by my inabilty to give a damn.

 

[Rey]

this is the channel i was waiting for . yes!!!

 

[concord]

BO in HD? Something stinks

[Opusnbill7]

Can someone translate that into English?

 

[Smith P.]

The "link" seems to me a pointer to master channel, so for other sat/tpn/ch it just repeating as packets in a network hub.
