Big Retailer Chat News

It must be freezing in hell today! It was announced on the retailer chat earlier today that on January 22 they will finally split WE (Womans Entertainment) AKA Romance Classics and IFC (Independent Film Channel) and also they will be adding MuchMusicUSA

Channel 128 WE (Womans Entertainment)
Channel 131 IFC (Independent Film Channel)
Channel 158 (Much Music USA)

Its kind of funny that the satellite service who says they are out of space has room for 3 new channels. :D

Wow Dish allows outside manufactuers to make Dish Receivers (RCA), and also splits WE/IFC, boy it must be a cold day in hell!

Good going Dish!

Actually 2 new channels as WE/IFC already share one. But thanks for the news and I for one always love new channels additions. Now if they would only add National Geographic I will be one happy camper.

It was also announced today that the first RCA Receiver will be a Universal DBS Receiver which will be able to receive both Dish Network and DirecTV.

Too bad about IFC/WE splitting up to make two full time channels. I was hoping that Dish was gonna make a new campaign called "Still The One", with the Orleans' hit song played as video shows the two channels not getting along afterall. It'll be the "New New Odd Couple", where the announcer says "IFC has requested that it kick itself out of the channel space never to be returned". The announcer would be discovered to be Britany. Now if Britany would kick herself off Dish never to ever return again, we'll be ever so happier.

Stay tuned next to the new Charlie Chat where Charlie and Jim look for those RCA Dogs again in a shopping mall full of DirecTivo subs.

Im stunned and I mean that in a good way :)
