Would you switch cable/sat provider if they dropped a network?

Dish and AT&T are dropping AMC because they say the fees are too high and viewership is down, AMC has some of the best shows and I would hate to lose it, so far Comcast has no plans to drop the channel.

I have Dish. If Speed, History or Military channel goes, so goes I.

Amc wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.

It seems like they only run Shaw Shank Redemption and the Matrix trilogy all the time. Plus westerns on the weekend.

To be honest I didn't even know amc had any regular shows.

Now if comcast dumped g4 I might be angered but since Adam Sessler left xplay its not the same. I still watch it but its lost a bit of its heart when he left.

The only channels that are truly can't touch for me are:

History channel,
H2 (secondary history channel)
Food Network
Fox Sports Network (local hockey coverage for the Wings games - NHL)
ESPN
Discovery (mostly for mythbusters )

I think thats about it - in no particular order there.

But I truly don't have a must watch show nor a must watch channel. I gravitate from one thing to another. About the only ones I watch religously are Xplay, Mythbusters, The Universe, and American Pickers. These are on my dvr schedule all the time.

I have a few others too - Fraiser reruns mostly. Plus Good Eats on the Food Network even though its over now - reruns are still fun.

Mad Men and Breaking Bad are very good shows that have won many Emmy's, Walking Dead is another show that's pretty good. Netflix is streaming old seasons so you can watch them there but if enough providers cancel the channel then all the original shows will be cancelled.

Dish dropped AMC and IMC on the 1st of July 2012

Viacom just dropped 17 channels from DirecTV over the same issues.

Aren't they going to lose quite a few customers over this? I mean it seems to make more sense to do slow price increases that would lose less customers than to kill channels that might have more dramatic customer loss.
