Re: $200m And how exactly do you think he got that 9.1B? By being cheap! Charlie Ergan is the scum of the earth, he's the spawn of Satan, or perhaps he's even Satan himself. He's an ole' miser who makes Ebenezer Scrooge look like philanthropist of the millennium. I have no problem with companies making money and as much of it as possible, that's what America is all about. What I have a problem with is how el Cheapo uses his customers as pawns in his game and then airs all his dirty laundry with programming providers on Fr Charlie Gospel Hour the second Monday of every month (aka the Charlie Chat). When I had Dish Network, it was a very long five year period after I learned how Charlie operated. Every month I'd fear my favorite channels would be dropped because el Cheapo was too greedy to pay but then come on channel 100 the following month and tell us how he's 'doing it for us'.
Granted all programming providers have contract disputes, DirecTV just dropped Versus the other day, the best MSO on the planet, my Time Warner Cable, dumped HDNet and HDNet Movies in June, but it isn't a constant threat. With Dish Network I always wondered which channel was next on the chopping block.
Leaving Dish Network and not supporting the likes of that evil greedy old man was things I could have done. -- Don't Blame Me, I Voted For McCain Welcome to The SSA, The Socialist States of Amerika, Lead By Your Dictator, Hussein Obama Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, B.
