They could drop 17 channels tonight, including Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, and Comedy Central.

I have Viacom almost as much as I hate Dish, so I'm siding with DirecTV in this dispute.  Viacom destroys good networks.

I don't watch most of those channels, but losing Comedy Central and Palladia would sting.  Not as much as AMC, but I would be annoyed.

I also find it amusing that Dish and Direct want the right to buy these channels ala carte, but don't want to give their customers that same right.

Me too.  I'll be sticking with Direct.
