EchoStar Communications Corporation and its DISH Network and OLN on Monday announced a multi-year agreement which restores the channel to DISH Network customers.

"It was important that we negotiated a fair contract, enabling DISH Network to remain a tremendous value for our customers," said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming. "We understand that this has been a difficult period for our customers, and we thank them for all their patience. We look forward to a long relationship with OLN in which we can provide the network to our customers."

"We are very pleased that millions of DISH customers can once again enjoy OLN's terrific programming," said Gavin Harvey, President of the network. "DISH and OLN belong together, and I appreciate the spirit of partnership that reconnected us. We look forward to serving our very passionate -- and extremely patient -- fans of the NHL, Tour De France, Professional Bull Riding, and the best hunting and fishing on television."

OLN returns to channel 151 in AmericaBs Top 180, DishHD Gold or any higher programming package. National Hockey League fans can now catch exciting playoff action. Visit NHL.com's OLN schedule page for a complete listing of game.

How did The Lightning do?
*does a little dance*

Yeah, the series was tied. Now all that remains to be seen is what comes out of last nights mayhem.

You missed one heck of a game. I was actually afraid for Vinny's safety for a second there (and even more afraid that Chara would get suspended or injure his hand again), but the Chara's mercy is great.

My roommate and I agree...one of the most terrifying sights to see right before you die...Chara sitting on you with his fist in the air, ready to strike...
 
Can I just point out that I hate scalpers, game sold out and they come out selling $40 ticket for $150. Found few guys selling tickets who are not scalpers but only 1 ticket.

Sad thing is I looked on eBay and tickets for game in Nashville are being sold at same price as original price (sometimes even cheaper) and no one is buying them. Good tickets too, lower decks. Sad, your team is in playoffs and no one wants to go...
 
We had one of the best arena atmospheres for the playoffs, and our team moved away. Nashville can barely GIVE away their playoff tickets.

Not to take away from the Nashville fans, because I know they DO exist and love their team, but you've GOT to fill that arena. I don't want any other city to go through what we (and Bob Lee) went through. It's awful.

Though, I quite enjoy having the AHL. The Moose just evened their series at 2-2 tonight, and it was a SUPER game! Game 5 on Friday!!!
