  1. If so I need to dump the Dish network as they dumped OLN.

    Yes. Here's the schedule they published earlier - they've since added
    Flanders so if you hurry and switch to DirecTV you can watch it on
    Sunday. If you join by my referal I'll get $50 off my bill - how about
    it? Is that e-mail valid without the extra bits?

    Do you see that little 'TBA' at the end there? ^ That is a red flag to me.
    They will probably show 7 min. of highlights for that day, 15 min. of Roll
    being a clown, and 8 min. of bull riding commercials. OLN is a waste of
    time.

    That TBA probably means that they don't yet know what time their coverage
    will be starting each day. But I would expect similar coverage to years
    past at LEAST to the extent of live coverage in the A.M., and recaps in the
    evenings.
