I thought someone said 17 channels were involved. The above post only lists six. I get a country music channel OTA. So, take away Viacom. I WILL NOT MISS IT.
Could Viacom Channels Go *Poof* This Week?

WRONG !!!!!! Millions of subscribers watch SPIKE & TV LAND and will drop Dish like a hot potato if these 2 channels are dropped. SPIKE has program series like "Street Outlaws" and other car related shows. TV LAND has 4 hours of Gunsmoke on weekdays.
Good let em all go... I've yet to call about the increases from this year anyway so it will give me more fuel for the fire I'm gonna light under them for some major long term discounts.
Trolls don't even know what channels they watch. Street Outlaws is a Discovery Channel property and show 
Tv Land shows the same stuff that METV carries. Plus METV is free
Yeah, but does METV have four hours of the Andy Griffith Show every day? I didn't think so.

Thank goodness. These stupid all day marathons are what is wrong with tv networks today.
I think MeTV, Cozi, and AntennaTV are FAR superior to "today's" TV Land. They are like TV Land was 20 years ago when it launched.
MTVU plays in the cafeteria at the university where I work. I wouldn't call it music. Mostly just ear-bleeding autotune crap and rap.
Article put up earlier quoted an insider as saying the outage would last 10 days. 10 days Ill sleep fine.

That sounds more like attempted investor manipulation of stock price than an actual piece of knowledge.
