2 edits | MOJO Rumors are floating that MOJO will cease broadcasting. Some Comcast systems are already removing the channel, as well as some Cox markets.
So, maybe it never will make the FIOS TV lineup.
That will suck though, I was looking forward to Three Sheets.

Just with a little less drinking. | |

Franklin Square, NY | Re: MOJO I went on the MOJO website and looked up the upcoming schedule. On their calendar for October they have all the dates crossed off from Oct 19-31. So maybe the 18th is the last day? | |

| I think there should be a confirmation of this post before people bury Mojo. I had vaguely recalled this and just confirmed it (wikipedia), but Mojo acquired the rights a few months ago to show Heroes starting in Oct, 2007. I assume these would be reruns of seasons 1 & 2 (which is not that many episodes). It had to cost money to get rights for Heroes - would they shut down the channel just after starting repeats of a higher profile show such as Heroes? Not going to say that they would not because they may be losing money on Mojo and just decided to pull the plug with 100+ other HD channels now available. We don't know.
If Mojo was getting shut down, I would expect to see something about that at avsforum. There are people who usually know these things before it gets officially announced. I don't see any recent posts on Mojo there.
But if InDemand does indeed shut down Mojo, let me be the first to make the obligatory obvious joke: They lost their Mojo.

What I confirmed on Wiki is that Mojo acquired the rights to show Heroes, not anything to do with any rumored shutdown of the network. Wiki entry "The channel acquired the off-network rights for Heroes in high definition starting in October 2007." I should have been more clear in my sentence structure.
Verizon put Mojo on the channel line-ups back in the earlier days of the HD expansion, so something odd happened. | |

| Re: MOJO There is confirmation at avsforum that Mojo is indeed shutting down as a live channel by the end of 2008: »www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthre···14760576. We now have an explanation of why Mojo never showed up despite being in the early post-alignment channel line-ups. Once Verizon learned that Mojo was going to be shut down in a few months, they obviously decided not to bother adding the channel. | |
