It seems the regular programming consisting of mostly
old syndicated packages(Taxi,Barney Miller, A-team,Hawaii 5-0,etc)
is still on.

The only change they've made so far was to replace Paid Programming with HSN's
"Last Minute Gifts" from 9am to 12pm. Hub66 was running Paid Programming in the
morning block since the sign-on in August. I imagine some of their AM
time-buyers pulled out since the sale was first announced a couple of weeks ago...

TV Guide and newspaper listings are compiled weeks in advance. The On-line schedule
is more update and reflects the change which you observed this morning...

Maybe they'll have HSN in Spanish on one of them and people who don't speak
Espanol will still call in and order...:)
