Well, that sucks. They had good shows on movies/TV/music. I’m not mad enough to rant about this in the pit but I liked that channel a bunch.

I pee in their direction. ☹

Yeah, that does suck. I wonder if this is where DirecTV starts going the way of cable companies…

Hmmmm…I wonder if DISH Network will pick it up?

I audibly gasped when I saw the little “as of 12/31” note DirecTV put up where Kolchak used to appear. ☹

Did they give us _any_ notice at all? I wasn’t sure if I missed something in the mail, or if they just wanted to be utterly cruel.

When DISH Network stopped providing the East/West coast feed of CBS channels, they sent out a notice in the monthly bills. Luckily, I never watched CBS except for Letterman.
