Hey, here's a deal......
Charlie Dolan in a desperate attempt to keep V* alive, gets Charlie to let him keep the channels on Rainbow 1 and operating. In exchange, Charlie gets to offer most of the HD channels for a nominal fee to E* subscribers. He keeps a few "exclusive" channels so V* can differentiate itself, but maybe he does something like Sirius does in order to boost viewership of the channels.
Nah, I don't think it will happen either, byt SkyReport is postulating that Charlie D. is trying to make a deal with Charlie E. to keep his channels on Rainbow 1 (which hasn't even cleared Justice Dept. and FCC scrutiny yet)
