This was the reply I received from Dish Network when I asked them about Comcast SportsNet...

"Specific information regarding your request for Comcast SportsNet Northwest Channel is not currently available. We would like to add that channel, to make viewers like you happy, but we do not know if or when this will happen.  We will gladly forward your request to our Programming Department for further consideration."

It sounds like the station is not on their radar.  If satellite users want to get this channel by October, I think we all should start sending in requests now.  Get typing!
