OK - I'm about to call DishNetwork and give them a piece of my mind. However, I'm running out of pieces to give.
I was flipping through my channel guide on DishNetwork and what did I find? An entire freakin' channel on 0bama.
Channel 73 on DishNetwork is now OBAMA. Looks like all it is doing is playing over and over and over "Barack Obama's Plan for America".
First they telemarket to my cellphone nonstop now they put on a 0bama channel? My wallet says no thank you Dish, I’m sticking with cable.
Hey if his campaign is paying for it, and Dish freely accepts anybody else who wants in, I say let freedom ring.
How about a FreeRepublic channel?
Just Obama has.
Make sure you tell them why!
BFD!!!! My Comcast box has at least 5 (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, & MSNBC)
You watched it, and then you actually survived it to tell the tale? They should call it the “Nineteen Eighty Four Channel”.
I’m speechless
He even decalares he wants to fast track an energy plan that uses Americas rescources instead of the middle east oil in 10 years.
He’s got crap loads of money folks. George Soros won’t let his little Obamaniacs down. They’re gonna buy this election.
Let me know what DISH says...I checked it out and you are right.
just wait till O bomb net is the only channel and your required to have it on 24/7...ahla big brother in “1984 “
I’m on hold - there is a 6 minute wait. Did y’all get in before me?
From other thread...

I checked my channel 73 and yup Zer0bama was there big $$ smile and all. My suggestion, go to the menu, select locks, option 5, put in you password, and then lock out the channel. Do not tell anyone your password and hopefully after November, the channel will be blank....
Glad I switched to Direct TV.
If he can pay for it he should be able to do it.
AHAHAHAHA
Crap loads of Soros money, Saudi money..
Yeah, they’re gonna buy it and McCain looks like he’s nodding off admidst it all.
Email McCain. Tell him he has an obligation as our candidate to wake up!- And fight back.
To h*ll with bipartisian BS1
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign,
as McCain put it!
Respectful campaigning went out the window with Obama’s nasty, ‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, Campaigning for Odinga!!

The Obama channel is on 73. I called Dish network and asked
about it. The person said Dish network only programs channels 100 and over. She said it must be a local channel. She looked it up and said it doesn’t show up on her listing. I told her if it was still there through the weekend that I would cancel my subscription on Monday.
Anybody with money is welcome to start their own TV channel or buy time on a channel, like an infomercial.
This woman is full of it. I have Dish TV. I live in SOCAL and I just checked, and I’m getting “all Obama, all the time” on my TV on CH 73. But, then again, if Obama is paying for it, I don’t have much of a problem Maybe McCain should be doing the same thing.
Well, I was looking at DISH or DIRECTV to replace Charter here in Reno for the new house, but I guess I’m sticking with Charter.
The one thing I can’t stand about Charter is that you have to go over your bill with a microscope every month. Last month, they tacked on $15 for “Anime On Demand” — something I would never order.
Cancel your DISH subscription and get Free To Air.
She is a liar.
All hail Obama, great and nonjudgmental are thy ways, thy presidency come, thy master’s will be done, in Washington as it is in Beijing, give us welfare, our bread and water, and deliver us from whitey, for thine is the ACORN. [/a light will come down ... from somewhere ... and tell you you MUST vote for Obama]
And they don't carry Fox Business News?
Makes me go "Hmmmm."
Its worse than that. Below 100 Dish channels are intentionally mapped down to stick them among your locals. Its actual satellite channel is 5890. Check it out.
On our DISH network..it’s 5680 Obama..yep..that’s how it’s listed on ours. I do believe the end is nearing.
On Michelle Malkin’s blog they all wondering why it’s not on channel 666.
I am really surprised that the CEO of Dish Network allowed this.
OTOH, stop freaking out people. Just because there is an 0 channel DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT. They are free to have it if they want to pay for it. Same w Fairness Doctrine. Just because an opposing view is presented doesn't mean you have to listen to it. Capisce?
I have no intention of watching that pile of garbage. However, I DO pay to have DishNetwork brought into my home and therefore, I’m exercising my right to cancel my service.
If Lord Barack Obama, The Most Merciful, wins in November, it'll be a required channel for everyone. All new TVs sold will be hard-wired to it.
Obama is probably paying for the channel. The privilege of having lots and lots of money.
I hope you all who have DISH will dump it. Make them pay for putting on a pacifist, socialist, infanticide-endorsing liberal.
That is it. I am disconnecting tomorrow. I’ve been looking for an excuse to change to DirectTV anyway. They carry Fox Business.
How disgusting...I’ll hold my nose while I watch the Senate debacle tonight.
I spent 45 minutes on the phone with dish. The first two people treated me with such disdain and ignorance that I thought I would jump through the phone. Finally the third person actually attempted to find out what was going on. Unfortunately he was unable to verify that the channel actually exists. He also mentioned that it could be a local channel and possibly dish picked up as part of the local package. I did not know this when I called but the FCC stopped licensing channel 73 in 1983. There are no legal broadcast stations using that frequency, it is used as a repeater frequency to rebroadcast weak signals.
I e-mailed FeedBack@customermail.dishnetwork.com the following:
An "All Obama All The Time" station suddenly appeared on my TV.
Why am I paying for this propaganda? I did not request it added to my programming.
Is Dish Network in the tank for this left-wing extremist?
When my subscription comes up for renewal, I will remember that part of my payment goes to support the far left liberal agenda.
Their response was:
Thank you for your email. Please know that effective Wednesday, October 1, 2008; DISH Network launched the OBAMA channel at no additional charge to customers.
This channel is available to customers subscribing to all packages broadcasted from the 110° orbital location. Also, this will be broadcasted though the conclusion of the elections. This is paid advertising by the Obama campaign and is not an endorsement of Senator Obama by DISH Network.
