File this one straight in the rumor folder (we're watching...) for now, but the intarwebz are ablaze with chatter that MOJO HD could be on the brink of collapse. After the all-HD channel -- which is home to Three Sheets, I Bet You, and a slew of other original programs -- was removed from select Cox and Comcast lineups, curious minds began to dig a little deeper. Turns out, parent company iN DEMAND is now rumored to be ceasing operation of the channel altogether, though we've no evidence to go on outside of a few unexplained disappearances. Anyone else see MOJO HD just fall off of their EPG?

That's kind of a shame, they had some unique programming. But I haven't had it since I canceled that HD Tier about a year ago. Do you guys know if other cable companies use/used a similar "pay tier" for MOJO as Time Warner?

Yes, most people had it on an HD Tier. I know Comcast in DE did at my parents' house. I'm wondering if we'll see some new HD channels to replace it.

$3.95 / month for only the 2 HDnet channels seems a little steep. I sent an email last week to Albany TWC asking what their plans were. No response yet, besides the submission confirmation.

From EngadgetHDWe pinged MOJO HD's parent company, iN DEMAND, in an attempt to hear that some of our favorite high-def programming wouldn't be vanishing forever with the dissolution of the channel. Thankfully, we heard back, and while the news isn't fantastic, it at least gives us room to hope. When we asked what would happen to the programming currently on MOJO HD, we we told that "individual producers would be working to find other homes for the series," and that "announcements would come from those networks." Additionally, the MOJO MIX HD video-on-demand service will continue to operate into 2009, giving users another venue to fetch most of the original MOJO programming. In all seriousness, we can't imagine a Travel Channel HD (for example) not picking up Three Sheets, but we suppose only time will tell. |

With the important news section of the cable bill it states that MOJO will cease operation on 12/01/08 and be replaced with MGM(channel 1852 ) and hallmark movie channel (channel 1861) on the HD premium tier. Also this fall cartoon network HD,Biography HD,Toon Disney HD andTennis Channel HD. will be added.
