That would simply be fantastic, and I wouldn't have to associate the letters "mtn" with a pile of steaming crap anymore.

Until I see the channel on listed on Direct Tv I have no hope

I think my purchase of a Slingbox finally pushed them over the edge.

Harmon is hilarious

How close is this to ending all the woe? The pen is apparently out of the pocket protector in the shirt and the cap to the pen is in place to be removed and signed.

Now where was that pocket protector? Oh, in the SHIRT! That one. Now, the cap on the pen, is it ready for removal? Good. The cap on the pen is now in place to be removed. Sounds like a deal is imminent.

Wow, didn't see that coming. Also good to hear the comment on scheduling. Can't wait to read the article tomorrow.

how long have I been hearing "they're SOOOOO close".

Until there is a deal, there is no deal.

And even then, the MTN is a disaster, even if it has satellite coverage. BYU still toils in obscurity. Maybe we can get a better deal with C-Span.

As long as Dish follows right behind.

Agree, Dish has more customers than Direc, so we need both for exposure.
I also have Dish, NOT Direc.

I believe it is Dish's M.O., to let Direc hammer out new deals for channels to add, and then Dish usually follows. Besides, if Direc adds the mtn and Dish does not follow VERY quickly, Dish will lose a LOT of customers.
