19 CHANGE(S) 5900 CHANNELS IN THE SYSTEM

 

[NMR_Man]

Yep, can confirm that WLNS is back. Big surprise

 

[Claude Greiner]

I told ya all it would only be a few days....

 

[Mr Tony]

wow that was quick

 

[ScoBuck]

Which side blinked?

 

[jwill]

I think it boils down to you can take the soaps away from the soccer mom's, but along with Mohter Nature, you can't fool with Sunday football.

Intersting to note that WLNS still show that Dish has dropped the station on their website.

JIm

 

[dishMIKE]

Will we now see some of these stations become available to us in HD ?

 

[JohnH]

Which side blinked?

It is not likely to be known. A clue might be that DiSH network has "fair" agreements with about 1000 stations.

 

[JohnH]

Will we now see some of these stations become available to us in HD ?

Only 5 out of 11 are not available in HD.

 

[dishMIKE]

I'm hoping for WLNS. Mike

 

[jwill]

WLNS is now and has been HD on Dish. WILX and WSYM are HD too.

Jim

I'm hoping for WLNS. Mike

 

[dishMIKE]

I'm sorry I was thinking of 53.

 

[VinceT3]

Short re-cap of what happened.


Young's management: Dish would never think about removing us.
Assistant: They've done it to several other channels.
Young's management: Yeah, but we're a major network.
Assistant: Yup, they've knocked them off the air too and some lasted for a long long time being off air.
Young's management: Really? I still doubt it.
Dish's management: Cut it.
Young's management: ...
Assistant: Should I call and concede our demands?
Young's management: ...
Dish's management: put it back on.

 

[gdarwin]

Waiting for FOX...

 

[RandallA]

I told ya all it would only be a few days....

You sure did. I'm glad this was taking care of.

 

[Stargazer]

Which side gave in?

 

[kstuart]

Which side gave in?

Reading is a better source of information than writing.

 

[Smith P.]

Then his counter will not inflate.

 

[sbsi]

Dish Network would loose tons of customers if they knock down these stations...something they cannot afford these days. Customers can always get cheaper programming by switching.

 

[Remilk]

We are receiving WRIC from Richmond, VA now. In addition, the uplink problem that started I began seeing about 4 weeks ago between WRIC and Dish has also ceased.

More importantly, the SD picture quality on WRIC is vastly improved and is much sharper than the SD picture from the other locals. Maybe the other locals will improve in February after the analog broadcasts cease.
