1. I'm ashamed to say I watch NatGeo & NatGeoWild a LOT and was glad.
All the other stations can go suck an egg.

2. The only thing that sucks is FOX News channels
The rest are OK and just regular programming. I see nothing wrong with sports or the National Geographic stuff.

3. This is my response that I just sent to Direct TV:
As far as I am concerned, you can take every Fox channel and dump them, especially Faux News. If you must carry this propaganda channel, why does it have to be on your basic package? If people really want to listen to nothing but lies and misinformation, make them pay extra for it. No wonder America is getting dumber by the day, people actually believe the crap that Faux News spews!! I so wish Direct TV had ala carte channel purchasing. For now the best I can do is not to go to channel 360!

4. I didn't know this was an issue, but I'm happy to still be getting my Fox sports networks.
Gotta have my hockey.

7. You're lucky cuz DishNet actually dropped all of them except "News" and local
about a year ago. It didn't last long though.

9. I canceled cable and happily don't miss any of it
As much as I love SPEED, knowing it was FAUX owned made it way less important in my life.
