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

I have Viacom almost as much as I hate Dish, so I'm siding with DirecTV in this dispute.  :bird: 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. :frown:

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. :frown:

Me too.  I'll be sticking with Direct.
