Dish Inks Deal with ION

[Scott Greczkowski]

ION Media Networks, owner and operator of a broadcast television station group, announced that Dish Network, the nation's third largest pay-TV provider, will extend distribution of ION Television on Dish's most broadly distributed programming tier.

Starting this month, Dish Network will distribute ION Television as part of its
Classic Bronze 100 programming package. This expands ION's distribution to the vast majority of Dish's nearly 14 million subscribers.

Does this mean one channel, or might the subchannels on my local Ion station be included in this deal? (I'd like to see Qubo for my 5yo.)

No it means that Dish will carry the national ION feeds.

I'd like to see qubo too for my kid. Have to see if the national feed at least contains some qubo programming.

No it means that Dish will carry the national ION feeds.

I note your "feeds" is plural. Does that mean all (or some) of the following?

1. Ion
2. Qubo
3. Ion Life
4. Worhship Network

Note that Comcast currently carries the 1st 3 from what I gather Googling Ion Media Networks.
