Noggin still not 24/7?

No disputing - but CBS/SHowtime I believe still have a stake in LOGO - CBS NEws on LOGO and several showtime original programs - but the point leaving that aside is that the N/Noggin split, the addition of LOGO, the loss of NGAS should have been part of the Nick HD contract and wasn't.

Sumner Redstone's company (forget the name) owns the majority of both CBS and Viacom. (And Viacom owns MTV Networks and BET Networks.) This is basically the only connection.

Because they share an owner, there is opportunity for "synergy". Logo would be more likely to strike a programming deal with CBS than NBC. But there is no "stake", and all contracts with DISH would be negotiated separately.
