DISH Drops AMC Networks (AMC Back on DISH channel 131)

[KAB]

Looks like no weekend off for AMC's PR department.

yeah. but, it would be nice to have it back today. if amc comes back i have a feeling that we may not get all of the amc networks back.

I feel confident you'll see there all the AMC Networks channels since they would have to offer these terms to all other MFN distributors. But we'll see.

Yeah, I wonder how long it'll take them to make the channel changes. Will we need to reboot? Wonder what they'll do with AXS?

 

[satjay]

Nope, sometime today...Ch 131.

and fuse november 1st!!! yay!!!!

 

[wetz73]

AXS is normally on 362 (it's on both 362 and 131 now) so will just be available there.

 

[satjay]

Would have never thought this could get done on Sunday

 

[wetz73]

I'm sure a week of giving away the farm to upset subs on E*'s end and pressure from TWD advertisers on AMC's made a Sunday deal happen. Plus, AMC isn't doing a free online broadcast of S3E2 of TWD and Monday morning wouldn't have been pretty at either company.

700 Million,looks like the analysts were pretty close on the predictions.Definitely better than 2.5 billion!

If we are getting Fuse, do you think we will also get MSG?

Nope. no mention of MSG Network coming back. (Do they even have any pro teams left on MSG Network?)
