Re: Good thing I didn't get Dish yet
While I tend to agree, is anyone else wondering why Showtime and The Movie Channel haven't come into play in this little spat? While these premium channels are likely under a separate contract, both are owned by Viacom. |

Dayton, OH | The channels in dispute are more or less "freebies" I think... Dish, DirecTV, and most cable companies offer channels like Nickleodean, Comedy Central, and the others affected by this in their "standard" (not cable's most basic, required) package. |

Freehold, NJ | Has nothing to do with tiers or packaging. It simply has to do with which channels were up for renewal. For example, TV Land and Spike TV are similar Viacom channels, but they didn't go dark because the contract didn't run out on them. |
