Voom Settlement?

[Hall]

BTW I would not be so sure that they still own the programming. the rights may have expired or been sold elsewhere.

I suspect VOOM wasn't much different than networks like Discovery. If you notice, Discovery doesn't make many, or any, of their shows. They're made by private production companies. Of course, maybe the networks do in fact "own" the show and simply hire these companies to film them.

I read today on Tv predictions website that a Voom settlement may well be in the works and with it a return of AMC and the other channels to DISH.

Deja Vu - the deadline article is what started the thread.

AS usual Swanni steals his information..............

VOOM is gone, but they still own all the VOOM programming so some hope it is possible they can create some new channels using their existing library.

bring back monsters hd

I wonder if restarting Voom or some of the Voom channels would be
that big an undertaking?

Could be part of negiatiating?

Studios are still in place, just open the vaults
get some original programming..

wishful thinking ..I know

I think you may have a better shot at wining powerball.

I wouldn't...
I used to see MonstersHD ads in Rue Morgue magazine all the time and was so excited when Dish got it. Then I watched it and lost the excitement really quick. Just not much quality there.

Possibly a MonstersHD and one or two other channels. But we all knew that nothing was going to happen at AMC until this matter was litigated (piling on the damages). It would probably be a good things is this matter were quietly settled and just disappeared.

i don't see it coming back anyway. i got dish customers wanting FEARnet and thats why dish no longer allows me to post links for FEARnet,request it, etc. I don't care what anyone says about me. i'll get the word out about FEARnet anyway possible. thank you fuzzface for being one of those pushing for the channel

Make Dish uplink a recorded loop of Voom's final year of programming. On a serious note, I haven't followed the case. My question is what is Rainbow trying to say, Dish dropping Voom lead to its demise?

yes they are. They are alleging that they were damaged. If they had scads of customers in spite of what DISH did it would be difficult to prove damages or harm.

VOOM went out of business but the original ownership (Cablevision) is still extant and theoretically could try to revive it. I persoanlly think there is no buiness case to justify it but it is possible.

Dunno about that. A couple three niche HD channels might do alright. Monsters, Rave, and Animania come immediately to mind.

 

[Peter Parker]

QWhy are you guys so sure they still own the rights? Animania and monsters in particular showed 3rd party programs that are in at least some demand by other programming outlets.

Unless those other outlets have exclusivity, the point is moot.

jump right in thanks!

There may be some small, obscure, local cable company that carried VOOM (though I doubt that), but otherwise, no outside provider carried VOOM. Only Cablevision and Dish carried them. Directv didn't, Time Warner didn't, Comcast, didn't, etc, etc

What, DirecTV doesn't carry VOOM????? I'm switching to Dish.

no not really. the point is VOOM may noot have ANY tights. Jumoing back in may not be as easy as many of you are asserting.
