Almavision was showing a slate "Coming Soon" yesterday! It was available and showing programming on Wednesday, but not last night.
See ya

Yeah, I thought it was kind of weird myself - when ALMA first came on, there was programming, then they went to a slate.
I assume, since this is Christian religious programming, even though it is "En Español," that Sky Angel approved it. My guess is that particularly a Spanish-language video channel would not really compete with SA*. And it may even increase SA*'s appeal to the Hispanic market, as new subs could add the Free PI Pack to get Almavision.
I am sort of surprised that 3ABN didn't get the slot, because I know they had been trying for it. However, I think it is certainly possible that Almavision was simply ahead of them on the waiting list, or that 3ABN is waiting until they can get on a full CONUS coverage slot, like 110 or 119.

I'm wondering if there was some sort of problem with Amavision already and we might see it yanked before it gets started?
The channel is still showing a slate. The EPG shows 9 days 24/7 "Programa Ninos" (Program [ninos]) in 30 minute blocks. I think they mean "Programa para Niños" (Children's Program).
I just think it is very, very odd to see a channel with programming when it launches and less than 24 hours later it has a slate that the programming is "coming soon".
