I wonder why Charter Cable is removing this channel. It doesn't say anywhere the station is going off the air. I didn't watch this channel too much, but everytime they remove a channel and don't replace it anything good (been happening a lot lately....the only new channels we get are free digital OTA channels in Chinese, Armenian and Russian) it seems like more of a rip-off.

Interestingly they are based out of San Diego, CA and none of the cable TV companies (Cox, Time Warner, Americable, etc.) here are carrying it.

I have been to their studios/operations center near Pacific Beach and they are a real oddball operation. A lot of their locally produced programming is really low budget and tacky starring the bygones of local San Diego TV news. This is a link to the show....yecchhhh....

Charter also dumped another channel in our area, MAV TV (pretty much what happens if the guys at Maxim somehow got a satellite slot and broadcast bikini shows and monster truck racing 24/7). Probably what happened is Wealth and MAV came onto their systems asking for fractional cent carriage in the mid-2000s when Charter would take anything with HD, even if it was incredibly awful. Now that most basic cable networks have an HD simulcast, they have no more room and no more use for these wacky niche channels which only attract train-wreck and channel snoozer viewers, which is a good thing.
Now if only they could move everyone off analog to digital faster so we could get more adds than I did last week (Science Channel and Disney Channel in HD. That's it.)
