I know the new LOGO channel is on Directv. Anyone have an idea when Time Warner will carry this channel, or should I give up all hope now and get a dish? How about Dish Network?

It all depends. Time Warner Observations from here:

Added Nick GAS
Added VH1 Classic
Added Nick 2 (West feed of Nickelodeon)
Added NickToons TV (Viacom Digital Service) and dropped it a year later
Never added VH1 Mega Hits
Added MTV Hits
Never Added MTV Jams

Since it is a Viacom digital service, I can only say that it is POSSIBLE from these observations. Will be for sure on digital. <P ID="signature">______________

Depends on where you live. If its a particularily conservitive area, don't hold your breath.

I hope it fails.

Guess we know how you feel about their target demo, now, don't we?

But no one is forcing you to watch it, are they?

Not exactly. I work in collegiate women's athlethics, so my job requires that I be pretty tolerant.

No, but it replaced a station that I watched alot, particularily as background music/entertainment for gatherings, etc.

I know how you feel.

MTV Jams (MTV X)
MMUSA/Fuse (MuchMusic)
Current (Newsworld International)

Are all examples of channels that I used to love to watch that got replaced. I never got a chance to see VH1 Mega Hits but I always wanted to.<P ID="signature">______________

I suppose next there will be whining about the loss of:

The Nashville Network (Spike TV by way of The National Network)
Cable Health Network (Lifetime)
ARTS and The Entertainment Channel (A&E)
CBN Satellite Network (Fox Family/ABC Family)
HA!/The Comedy Channel (Comedy Central)
Movietime (E!)
Odyssey (Hallmark Channel)

What did I leave out?

ZDTV/Tech TV (G4 Tech)

Family Channel (Fox Family Channel/ABC Family)

WWOR EMI Service (Animal Planet)

I'll throw a regional one into the mix: Philadelphia's PRISM....which really didn't have anything replace it on the movie side.

Go back and look again. I got that one (Family Channel was simply a rebranding of CBN Satellite Network, not a replacement).

But I did think of more:

Satellite Program Network/Tempo and FNN (CNBC)
America's Talking (MSNBC)

And, of course, these defunct networks which simply went away (not bought out by a new network): CBS Cable, Satellite News Channel, and CNNfn.

I damn near cried the day they took away Romance Classics (now "WE", for Women's Entertainment). <P ID="signature">______________

Prism was never on Satellite. it used microwave to get to the regional cable services. thats why you can't find Comcast Sports net.(Philly) on Satellite, which is what took Prism's place.<P ID="signature">______________

Well, again, that was really more of a rebranding than a new channel. But Romance Classics does indeed belong in the "cable channel graveyard".

Another regional: Sports Time, a channel that broadcast games and sports talk shows in the mid-80s. It met its demise because it tried to serve too large of a region -- it had Royals, Cardinals and Reds games. It was also a pay channel.
