[DaxxKahn]

They took ESPN classic off the cable listing where I live....When I called Time Warner they told me they are not carrying it where I am....But it was there yesterday!!!!!

I could not get anything else out of the idiot from customer service........Anyone know anything more? or anyone with Time Warner having the same issue

[No Contest]

Time for Direct TV, or satelite. Thats one channel I gotta have, you think they would keep that and get rid of the 20 fsn's and espn8. Im still pissed I dont get Telemundo and Telefutura on my Direct TV....

Christ that does surprise me, we don't even get ESPN in the UK but we do get ESPN Classic!

I got TW in Whittier, CA and it's still there.

...I thought they did that here but nah they just moved it faaaaaaar up to channel 130 something.....SPIKE moved up.....I like my action movies and boobie but why couldn't they get rid of the Lifetime channel instead

[TitoFan]

I have ESPN Classic and I generally like the channel. On boxing, however, they piss me off. You'd think there were no other worthy fights other than Tyson and Ali fights. It's either that, or grainy 40's and 50's fights. Surely they can come up with more variety than THAT.

Lyle I actually think Lifetime is one of the better channels to watch GREAT movies that don't necessairly make it to the BIG media hype/promotion.
I've seen some great movies there one movie that has really stuck with me and I often recommend to people to watch is 'Human Trafficking'.
If your interested check this trailer/video on the movie.

They covered Pernell Whittaker and George Foreman as well this year.

I like their Ringside shows but honestly the ones where the fighter they are covering is in the studio it's just one big lovefest.

The Prime Tyson show was great, excellent analysis and a balanced appraisal.

The George Foreman and Pernell Whittaker episodes though lost all credibility because the fighter was there and they didn't want to be critical.

They made Big George's title win at 45 out to be some kind of heroic legendary event whereas in fact he just got lucky with a punch after losing every preceeding round. He shouldn't even have got the shot anyway, he had lost to Holyfield and Morrison and wasn't even ranked to my knowledge

PLus at the end of that show Big George got his grill out and there was a nice 10 minute plug for his lean mean grilling machines.

Oh, they do a great job on the fighters they decide to cover. The Tysons, the Alis, the Foremans, the Whitakers......

But there are SO-O-O-O-O-O many great fighters out there to cover. Why limit it to so few? It seems like they stay with the big heavyweights (with a couple of exceptions), or else go back to the black and white classics from the 50's or earlier. What about the Golden Era of boxing back in the late 70's and early 80's?

When they first started you would see fights from as back as they had film...then it became the Tyson channel........I love the ringside show on saturdays when there is a new topic....What I am going to miss the most is monday-friday I was guarenteed to see a fight from 8-9 pm

When the channel first went on the air, I said "great, now I'll be able to see the classic battles like Arguello-Pryor, Leonard-Hearns, Gomez-Zarate..." But when I started to see Ali fights just about every other day, and like you said, it became the Tyson channel..... I became a bit disillusioned.
