New Channels for 2006

[johnny05]

What, (if any) new cable channels will be added to your local lineup this year... My branch of time warner doesnt promote changes, they change the networks and make you call to find out where your channel moved to... After that, they send you info with your bill..

NBC's new "Sleuth" network is scheduled to debut on January 1. I read that they have an agreement with Time Warner to carry it, but I don't know about the other cable companies or DirecTV/Dish.

In Canada, the Mystery channel has been around for a good four years or so now, if that's at all the same as "Sleuth"

Also new in Canada, World Fishing Network (WTN-All fishing, All the time) Is this a brand new channel, or does it already exsist in the States?

This weekend, TW in Green Bay added some established channels: Sportsman Network, Soapnet, Boomerang, the Reality Channel.

Now when with TW get off its butt and add NFL Network?

Here in Denver, you can generally you can tell when Comcast is about to make some changes because they start opening up channels if they're closed (especially if they're below 100) and devote one of them to explaining (in text form) just what the changes are.

The last time they did this was when Altitude Sports & Entertainment was added on Channel 25. They made some other moves as well.

For GREEN BAY not to have NFL Network is SACRILIGIOUS. I wonder if Time-Warner recognizes and realizes that. Football is A RELIGION there. Comcast was relatively quick to add it here once they realized just how loyal we Bronco fans are.

Of course, it probably helps when you probably have direct 'backing' from the local FSN as opposed to one that's remotely located FWIW....

Just my $.02 worth FWIW... <P ID="signature">______________

Comcast has an affilliation deal with NFL until the end of the current "exclusive contract" with DirecTV for Sunday Ticket. Comcast will use this as a bargaining chip to get Sunday Ticket in the future.

Time Warner has been clear many times to the NFL that unless they allow them to offer NFL Sunday Ticket, they will NOT carry NFL Network. Comcast had that same policy, but decided to finally offer NFL Network, and has let them know they also want NFL Sunday Ticket in the future (their agreement ends when the extended exclusivity contract with DirecTV ends).

By the way, TW cable is not alone on the "No NFL network carriage without Sunday Ticket."
