Channel 53 is being dropped by the Dish Network beginning Thursday and I couldn't be happier. In fact I called Dish to support their action. Apparently Channel 53 is asking Dish for a 200% fee increase in order for Dish to continue providing their signal. This is unbelievable coming from a station that does it on the cheap. The station has no local newscast and little locally produced shows . And they're supposed to be a major network affiliate! Also, I notice they carry a lot of half-hour paid ads. Sinclair Broadcasting is the owner. They also own another minor station in the Lansing market, Channel 37. Dish dropped that station earlier this week for the same reason.

This. I will never forgive them for causing me to miss the new season of Breaking Bad, never!
And, as an added bonus, I see that the new season of Hell on Wheels premiered this week. EFF YOU DISH!!!! They better bring AMC back before the new season of The Walking Dead starts or I am seriously going to be pissed.

I also saw a scroll line at the bottom of the tv yesterday that said they were dropping CBS (channel 3 in Kalamazoo). I think this happens Friday. Just about all my favorite programs I watch on reg. tv is on that station(NCIS and Person Of Interest).If this is true they better get it taken care of soon or I'll be switching. Doesn't CBS carry some football as well?

Noticed the same thing last night as I was watching Big Brother on my Hopper. Maybe I can get dish to give me a credit for the cost of a digital antenna if they drop this channel too.
I have been a customer and an advocate of Dish for over 8 years, but this shit is getting ridiculous. The squabble with F/X last year and now the same thing with AMC and possibly my local CBS station. If this would have happened three months ago I doubt I would have signed another 2-year contract.
