Fox Reality Channel Coming to Dish

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes it is in addition to the other Reality Channel we already have.

damn, no paradise hotel or was it paradise island. it was on fox, it was stupid, but i got hooked on it. i need a sequel.

Ah, he must mean Temptation Island. And there was a sequel, no? Remember the tagline? Ready to go again?

 

[Cyclone]

Will we finally get to see the entire season of Littlest Groom? I think that they cut it to just two episodes when FOX aired it.

 

[Stargazer]

Sounds like this will be good for the "reality nut" for a while until they watch all of the episodes.

 

[GaryPen]

"reality nut"

Talk about redundant.

 

[ScottChez]

So where are they going to put this new channel anyway.? I would think it would be right next to the other reality channel

 

[bettebogart]

Actually, this household loves reality TV and personally, I can't wait for this channel to come on. Now, if only they would put on Paradise Hotel! That was the bottom of the reality TV barrel, yet it was SOOOO entertaining. Such a guilty pleasure, like Big Brother. I realize most of you look down upon reality TV, but I enjoy it alot. I work on my computer all day long, the last thing I want to do is watch TV that makes me think. I want to be entertained, plain and simple. Reality TV allows me to disconnect and root for someone or root against someone. Sometimes I even get emotionally involved. Reality TV is entertaining to me and millions of others, just look at the ratings for Survivor. After 10 seasons, yes 10 seasons, Survivor is still going strong as a top 10 show. Sure, Law & Order and CSI and Without A Trace and all that are great... but sometimes they are depressing to me. I don't want to come home and watch stories about people being murdered in gruesome ways. That's not entertaining to me. Reality TV may be fluff, but it's entertaining fluff and that's what it's all about.
BTW, I also love the History Channel, Discovery channels, Animal Planet, BBCA, TCM and all that, it's just that reality TV is pure FUN. It's nice to have the option. I don't complain about all the sports channels we get and pay for and NEVER EVER watch, so please don't put down the channels that are geared towards other people.

Is this Charlie's answer to compelling content ? Reality TV sucks.

Sorry Charlie. Reality TV is crap. However, many people like crap. But, it doesn't make it any less crap-like. That's how crap like Three's Company was a top rated show for so many years. Or, how McDonald's does so well. Heck, even I eat that crap once in a while. But, at least I know it is still crap.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[maximum]

Just one more reason not to pay extra for AT180

I hope she's a good cook.

 

[TBarclay]

Any new word on this, Scott? Is it coming tomorrow or not?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have not heard anything more.

TNGTony also said he heard tommorow as well, hopefully he can chime in and let us know if he has heard anything.

 

[TNGTony]

Hi there. I've heard a deafening silence about FoxReality since last week. There was nothing in the uplink activity, though I am told there is a channel uplinked with a Dish Logo at 119° with no channel number. Take from that what you will, but seeing as Fox Reality is supposed to be added to AT180 that channel should be on 110° not 119°.

See ya
Tony

I just got word that the FOX Reality Channel will be coming to Dish Network on June 2nd. It will be part of the top 180 package.

It could be a good channel if it showed more then Joe Millionare and Cops.

Do you know what channel it will be?
It's June 2nd and I haven't spoted anything new in the channel lineup.

I saw on the Fox Reality website that they expected Dish to have this soon. I don't remember Dish ever saying this was coming.

He's on Vacation until next week.
