I just did a Dish chat to ask what happened to TNT channel. He said "the owners of the channel moved it to different packages." I told him i had the channel for 20 years, and he then gave me the Drama and Classics pack free for 24 months. If you have the flex pack and want TNT back or any of the other 8 channels in that pack, you can try a chat. it cant hurt.

It's not "the owners of channel" that assign its packaging, but rather the provider, based on factors of the ch's asking rate and offered volume discounting. Clearly TNT went up enough for charlie to bump it from larger basics packs to an add-on pack. It really doesn't have to have even been by a lot, with the way profit margins have thinned.

I'm not sure that is entirely true. I would think that channel placement is part of the contract negotiations to carry the channel, and it is, in fact, agreed to by both Dish and the channel owner at some level.

Well adding the Drama pack gave me the opportunity to lower my bill.
I dropped HBO & Cinamax
