Guys,
From NBC Universal: Chiller TV, from the same company who created the Sleuth channel will offer a 24x7 station devoted to Horror Movies and classic Horror series. The launch date is March 1, 2007. The regular schedule begins on March 5th, 2007.
Classic mystery and suspense series will be featured such as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Tales From The Crypt, American Gothic, and vintage horror films. During premiere week, The Shining will be shown commercial free.
It looks like a great channel! I am recommending to everyone who is interested in this station to do what I did. Word Process a LETTER (not a phone call or e-mail) and address it to the Programing Department of your local cable company or satellite dish office requesting that they add CHILLER TV to your line-up. A line or two of compliment, followed by a simple request to add Chiller TV to your services, might get the channel on-board sooner for all of us.
Contact Programing at Dish Network (Satellite) as well as the following cable companies through a snail-mail letter: (Whoever your provider is.)
Time Warner Cable
Cox
Charter Cable
Comcast
Adelphia
Cablevision
If you don't have time to write to your cable company's programing department, than call or e-mail them. But a letter might have more favorable results!
Another idea for this thread might be to make a list of cable and other dish providers who will be carrying the channel as of the March 1st launch date or soon thereafter. Post in this thread any information updates! If your provider says no, DON'T GIVE UP! There is safety in numbers!
Here is the complete schedule for March: (in PDF Format) You will need Adobe Reader to view it. If you don't have the reader, go to www.adobe.com and download it. If you have Adobe reader, you can view the schedule for Chiller TV here:

So far, AFAIK, only Direct TV is carrying this new channel, but if I am wrong about this, please post.
