Of course I was just paraphrasing basically what the scrolling message says, but it's on a lot of good channels right now (probably 5 or 6 of them). Sounds like Dish Network needs to get their crap together and renew those contracts with those specific networks or they're going to have a lot of pissed off customers most likely.

this happens all the time. the contract runs out and during the process of renegotiating the contract for the next round of service, the channels will post this scrolling message to rile up the customer base into calling the service provider to bitch about getting the contract done. it has nothing o do with providers getting their crap together. It is a bullshit move from the providers to strengthen their barganing position. IFC is one o the channels that had that scrolling message... saw it last night.
congrtulations... you are feeling the indignation that they intended to incite in order to get more money from the providers. you can thank them next time your bill goes up.
