Didn't we briefly lose the Cooking Channel, the DIY Network, the Food Network, GAC (Great American Country) and HGTV not too long ago?

I looked at old posts on the subject, and we lost them for just a weekend November 5-7, 2010. They were back on by Sunday night, November 7. I hope we do not have to go through this again. After the experience in 2010, I bet that AT&T and Scripps will will come to an agreement without any interruption.
