Discovery Fit and Health to Launch February 1 | Testing It Up

Yup they are renaming FitTV. I don't think that DISH carries FitTV thought.

With any luck, they won't pick it up.

Hey Juan, What channel is FIT TV on Dish Network?

It will be available in an estimated 50 million homes, and will occupy the same channel currently being used by FitTV.​

DirecTV carries FitTV, but Dish does not. I would not mind them picking it up for some of the programs that were on Discovery Health, I could care less about FitTV.

Says you, I want to watch Dr. G: Medical Examiner again. Discovery Health actually had some decent shows.

I just spoke to Dish and they confirmed with me that they will be carrying the new Discovery Health / Fit Tv Channel.

This makes sense. Fit and Discovery Health are pretty niche to stand alone, but make sense merged together, and they seemed to have had a lot invested in Discovery Health programming

Who confirmed? a CSR?

I have not heard anything about DISH carrying Fit. I was under the impression that the more popular Discovery Health shows would be on OWN

I just checked our internal site, didn't see any updates on us confirming we will have Fit TV. Fit TV still shows up on our programming request form also, but if I do see anything I'll be sure to post something.

I can get a hold of them easily enough, guess word hasn't been passed down if this is true.

True, that can happen. The left hand does not know what the right hand is doing and vice versa.

 

[MattG@DISH]

If I do get official word, I'll post.

 

[speedmaster]

Good to know, I like that.

The only two carry overs from Discovery Health that I've seen in OWN's lineup are Mystery Diagnosis and Deliver Me.

Actually it looks like they are combing the old and new channels and calling it "Discovery Fit and Healtj"
