Where's the Weather Channel?
Where's the Travel Channel?

As other posters have said, let's have a little variety. Do we need CNN, MSNBS and Fox news?

Where do you see ABC?

I suppose MSNBC is on there in case one of the 3 people who watch it takes a DL flight.

Plus, if you took CNN off, how would Piers Morgan watch himself?? Oh that's right, he doesn't fly DL anymore....
If they cut MSNBC and effectively replaced it with Fox News, that would be completely ridiculous. MSNBC at least somewhat provides a counterbalance to the Fox News right-wing machine.

The new lineup resembles what you might find in a hotel. They have broadcast networks, news channels, kids channels, and a couple of general interest channels. They've largely eliminated the specialty networks. I'm a bit disappointed as these channels were more likely to have entertaining programs on at any time of the day.

Here's the new lineup, according to Sky Magazine:

1- NBC
2- CNBC
3- CNN
4- Comedy Central
5- Discovery
6- Nick
7- Cartoon Network
8- Univision
9- FoxNews
10- FX
11- Fox
12- CBS
13- TBS
14- TNT
15- ESPN
16- AMC
17- HLN
18- MSNBC
I'm OK with the new lineup. Fox is Commie, but everyone makes his own decisions on these matters.

No E! Network!!!!! My favorite onboard entertainment is gone.

No, I never watch the channel, but I've always enjoyed looking up the aisle and seeing all the people who were watching the Kardashians. My smug comfort in knowing that no matter my personal troubles, others are worse off than me, will be gone. (Under the rational that nothing could mean you've hit rock bottom more than watching the Kardashians.)
