[ComcastOgre]

Hey everybody. Running the Service Desk, I got bored and decided to update my Desired Basic Channels page. There are A LOT OF new niche and basic entertainment channels coming.

The puppy channel. IS that like all puppies all the time?

Man, talk about niche channels.

I am still waiting on Ovation, Goodlife, & B-Mania.

Out of the new ones, only America National Network and Destiny look mildly interesting.

Really, at this point, if I were going to start a new station, I give a long hard look at just internet streaming. If there ever was one vision of the future that was a dud, it was the days of 500channels of cable and satellite. It's just too expensive for the cable/sat companies to carry all these stations.

 

[JosephB]

Wow, I don't see a single channel that there aren't already 2 competing in the same subject matter

 

[ZawNH-VT]

They should make a channel that just play Commercials all day long, not paid programmings but funny and interesting advertisements from all over the world.

 

[ComcastOgre]

There's already one of those in Britain. LOL.

 

[dlsnyder]

Yeah, I heard about the Puppy Channel. They say its a real dog.

 

[ComcastOgre]

LOL. Good one. Another one I forgot about was MovieWatch. Anybody heard anything about that? Unless the contract expires at a certain time, MovieWatch has a deal with DirecTV already for when they launch.

 

[syphix]

Hmm...that Casino & Gaming Channel looks promising...I'd love to see that added!

 

[ComcastOgre]

Casino and Gaming TV is probably going to launch. It's already got a deal with Bell ExpressVu in Canada to launch some time in March in Canada. It would be a great alternative to the now completely crappy G4TechTV.

 

[Crazy 1]

I would like to see the Horror channel come online. the only channel on my wish list.
