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

[Tampa8]

And they are gone.

Yep. They are gone for now. Wonder if ATT still has the channels?

Scroll on Uverse said 1AM they will be gone according to my daughter.

The 1AM EST sounds right. I don't have U-Verse but the countdown shows about 42 minutes: Keep AMC Networks

 

[Tampa8]

So does Direct TV capitalize on Dish and Uverse (apparently) not having AMC with ads, or remain more low key because they may have a dispute. (I have no idea if they are even close to having to resign AMC...)

Now we have to wait until next quarter's results to see if dropping AMC really hurt Dish sub numbers...

 

[priester68]

I actually liked AMC and hope it comes back soon. Could name 50 other channels I would rather see go.

If you have AT250 the replacements give us nothing for our loss. I fully understand taking a stand against higher prices, but why am I paying higher prices for channels that are given away to the lower tiers?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just wondering if AT&T pulled them as well.

 

[Tampa8]

Get a lower package? I don't disagree, Dish has given less reason to get the Top250, maybe even the BB package. But there is still a difference depending on what you watch of course. Half the price difference is the Encore movies, and even though they are in SD except Encore, we do watch them often. Bio, Natgeow and cook do get watched by the family so I guess it's still worth it for us. But it would be nice to get something added at some point since other packages did.

Looks like they are still on, on UVERSE

 

[isaacmorseMI]

Yup, just saw this on their FB page.

Wait until the morning. Bet it will disappear over night. At the latest when the engs come in on Mon.

But they can't legally carry the channels after the contract expires. I wonder if they reached an extension.

Lol, great post by the poster there however.

AMC says DISH never even talked rates with them.

Stupid article, AMC has been saying that on their site all along, nothing new. It's not that I do or don't believe them (AMC), (but with Uverse pulling the plug I tend to believe them less) but don't write an article that makes it sound like this is all new information.

Very interesting indeed. Getting more upset about this as things progress. Especially as a customer losing rather than gaining.
