TVGN now POP Tv

I want to know why uverse doesn't carry this channel. I've requested it ever since Big Brother switched from Showtime to TVGN. This has been several years now. I can see there are many other subscribers that are requesting this channel as well as the Hallmark channel. You would think if they are losing customers it would be something they would consider. There are several shows that are now on this channel I would be interested in. Why aren't more people putting in the request for the channels to be added? Is there more to the story that I don't understand to get them to add these channels?

AT&T U-verse is not losing customers as a result of the absence of the Hallmark channels and TVGN. U-verse has been building and gaining customers even without these three channels.

 

People have been requesting the Hallmark channels since they left the U-verse lineup on September 1, 2010. As far as why aren't more people putting in the request for the channels to be added, the answer is to most of the the U-verse subscribers, having the Hallmark channels and TVGN is not important. I would say that most U-verse subscribers by far have never even heard of TVGN.

I'd love to have BBAD too but to say Uverse is losing customers because of a lack of Pop TV or Hallmark is not true.  Uverse has grown from 5.3m customers in 4Q13 to 5.9m in 4Q14.

AT&T has Encore, Encore West, Encore Action, Encore Suspense and Encore Classic all in HD. Time Warner only has Encore in HD.

 

Time Warner loses and gains customers on a regular basis. AT&T loses and gains customers on a regular basis. Such is called "churn." How much of this churn is due to the lack of Encore Classic in HD?

 

I honestly can't believe that people are dropping AT&T because of a lack of Pop TV.

 

 

...what's next, Ma TV?

Yes I would like to see BBAD but it is CBS's fault that they moved it from Showtime 2 to TVGN/PopTV.  AND I have heard that BBAD is bland compared to when it was on SHO2.

 

BUT, remember that the CBS family is up for negotiations, this month.  So, there may be a chance that UV will get PopTV (I bet slight).  It may be a minor channel but there is BBAD and some other reality show that my wife wanted to see.
