Yep. Please, please, Mr. Ergen - dump these channels. Make a point, and make room for something better.
A few months ago we made the decision to drop back from the 250 to the 120+. We lost a couple of channels that we watched but the savings was enough to make a difference to us. I am not a big E watcher but my wife is, so it is abig deal in our house. I have not been on the forum much latley so I had not seen anyhting about this. Tonight we saw a commercial on Etelling us that Dish would more than likely be dropping E.
Im not so sure I want teh FCC or the government getting too invloved in this or any other issue with Pay TV, however maybe the issue should be that Pay TV providers should not be allowed to invest in or own broadcast or pay televison networks or programming????? Im not an expert but could this be heading towards AntiTrust issues????

This is their side:
In the FAQ section of the site, they had this to say:

If Dish is trying to help not increase bills, then this is fine with me. I mean we lived without FX, NatGeo, and some FSNs for a while.
I could care less as long as G4 is not involved - now if we lose G4 I will be pissed since I watch that channel daily. The Soup is the only show I have ever watched on E! and it is easily viewable online.
agree, but i only watch 4 shows on those three networks, The Soup on E!, The Dish on Style, and off course Attack of The Show and Web Soup on G4.
just because you dislike or dont like the channel doesnt mean you should down play it. Im sure others see the pattern here and it makes it hard to justify signing a contract when your not really sure if you will have the OPTION to view the channels currently offered today, tomorrow. I couldnt careless about E! however between Disney HD channels, this, FX, etc it get tiresome.
This will probably play out like FX/NatGeo. E! will feel the pain of lower ratings in about a month (if not sooner) and everyone will magically come to an agreement. I am looking forward to hopefully getting HDNet Movies again as a substitute.
Yea, the Style channel just happened to be on at my house (Don't ask me why anyone in my house would watch this garbage) and I saw the commercial that they put together trying to scare people and telling them to cancel Dish.
All I can say based on my experence, there is a very good chance this channel will go away on 1/1/11 and will remain off for a very long time. Heres why...
#1 Its in the Top250 package, and I would estimate that about 12% actually subscribe to this package unlike AT120 which is about 50%
#2 I have been selling new accounts for 12 years, I can't honestly remember that last time anyone insisted that they get the Style channel
#3 I can't imagine anyone calling to complain that this channel is missing, I doubt many people will realize its missing if its removed.
End result? Dish looses this channel for a month or so, Style realizes they are loosing all the revenue and Charlie gets his way again.

I have never watched any of the mentioned channels. I wonder how many of E customers actually watched them or will notice that they are gone?

One minute these are the best HD channels in the world, since D* doesn't carry them in HD, But now they Dish is dropping them they don't matter.
