Ion Worship no longer available after 1/31

[ssetta]

I recently got a message coming up saying that after January 31, Ion Worship (channel 494 in my area) will no longer be available at the programmer's request. This is not a good sign at all. Since many of us here have been requesting more channels, and wondering when they'll be available. And now I got a message saying that a channel is being removed?? Not good. And we don't even have the Ion HD feed in my area yet!

ION did not want to renew their contract with the Worship Network. It is not being carried on their subchannels anymore, it has nothing to do with Verizon.

Let's be realistic, nobody watched this channel.  It's an improvement in scrolling through the guide to have it gone.
