“Viacom’s contract renewal demands would have forced MontanaSky to double our current pay television rates over the course of the next five years, a move we found to be unacceptable,” a news release states.
MontanaSky said it plans to add "new and updated" channels "without a rate increase" in 2018, according to the news release. These will include “direct feeds from local networks, FOX Business, GRIT TV, The Cowboy Channel, Universal Kids, Sportsman, Comedy.tv, GAC, Revolt, INSP, IFC, REELZ, Cooking.tv, ION, Boomerang, Outside.tv, Pets TV, Hallmark Drama, Cars TV and the Olympic Channel.”
The channels that will no longer be available include Nickelodeon, Nicktoons, TeenNick, Nick Jr., BET, MTV, MTV Hits, MTV2, VH1, VH1 Classic Soul, TV Land, Spike TV (to be rebranded as Paramount Network), Comedy Central, CMT and CMT Pure Country.
“Most of those networks are still available through online services such as Hulu, Amazon, iTunes and Netflix, which are all accessible through a MontanaSky internet connection,” the news release states. “Most of Viacom’s programming may also be accessed directly from the individual television channel websites.”
Anyone with any questions or comments regarding these changes should feel free to contact their local MontanaSky office, or call MontanaSky at 406-293-4335.
