PLEASE bring Laramie back! My 85 year old mother is such a huge fan of the show - it is her very favorite - and she doesn't have a lot in her daily life that brings her joy, but being able to watch Laramie either live or On Demand has brought joy into her life. She is very disappointed it is gone and I beg of you to PLEASE bring it back for her. She is on a lot of the online message boards for Laramie and Robert Fuller and said there is a whole generation of people upset about Stars removing Laramie from their programing. Please reconsider putting it back on.

Please bring back Laramie. That was the only show I looked forward to except occasionally Wagon Train. Now I understand you are dropping Wagon Train. IT IS TIME TO BRING BACK LARAMIE.

Hopalong has to be the worst western ever made. Stop showing it. You show Hopalong almost every night.

I agree, they should be at least recognizing what is watched most often, leave those and get rid of what isn't working..It has now been 2 years, I was at the height of the series when it was removed, tires of waiting, and everywhere I looked it seems it's co ti ugly strapped to STARZ..

Pyour ase show some other Jobn Wayne movies. You play the same ones over and over. Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, and Big Jake are 3 of my favorites I have never seen on yochannel. Also there is a Dean Martin movie Something Big I haven't seen anywhere in years.

Really getting tired of seeing the same shows rotated over and over again.. They made HUNDREDS of westerns in the 1950's-60s, yet you show the same ones over and over... Virginian, Death Valley Days (which you have shows each episode about 5 times now), Maverick, Wagon Train, Wells Fargo... these are all available on DVD... How about SPENDING SOME OF THE MONEY WE PAY YOU and bring back some long lost westerns that ARE NOT already available on DVD? Black Saddle, Boots and Saddles, Brave Eagle, Broken Arrow, Casey Jones, The Gray Ghost, Gunslinger, Hotel DeParee, Iron Horse, Jefferson Drum, Johnny Ringo, Lancer, Law Of The Plainsman, Outlaws, The Rough Riders, SGT Preston, Shotgun Slade, Tales Of The Texas Rangers, Trackdown... and others! There used to be a Western Channel in Canada that played allot of these so they are TV ready somewhere... but you prefer to recycle the same old westerns., .. which is why I will be ending my subscription. I am tired of paying to watch what I already have on DVD.

Have noticed of late you are running about 5 minutes behind the posted schedule. This creates havoc with the DVR. I get the last 5 minutes of the previous show and not the ending of what is supposed to be recorded. Please correct your schedule.

How do you consider COAL MINER'S a western? No cowboys or indians in this movie? Electric Horseman is another NON-WESTERN. Yes it is about a rodeo rider with a reporter chasing him to do a story about him.
Just don't understand the reasoning behind these selections!

Enough of Hopalong Cassidy and bad acting. More of the longest running western on tv Gunsmoke. There is ten years of variety there.

I request that you stop showing Hopalong Cassidy. They are very old movies with very bad acting . I doubt that anyone in this country whats to see Hopalong and you show them every night. I'm sick of Hopalong. We pay good money for good westerns and I know that there are many good westerns made over that last 70 years so why show westerns that were made in the 1930's. I hope to see better results from you scheduling department.
NO MORE HOPALONG CASSIDY!

See you're still showing Hopalong Cassidy. Would you stop with the Hopalong and show newer and better Westerns. That's what we pay for.

Many of us Stars Encore Westerns viewers have requested that you stop showing Hopalong Cassidy movies to no avail. You're still showing these very old westerns with very poor acting. In fact you show many very old westerns and you show the same ones over and over. If Encore Westerns don't improve I may be canceling my subscription to Encore Westerns.

We are having much problems with commercials or station breaks in between shows being extremely too loud. Sounds like they are going to break the speakers in television. Forever having to turn remote up and down.

I see you've removed Wells Fargo from your line up. I am disabled and don't get out much and it was my favorite. So sad to see it go. Please bring it back!

There is way too much repetitive programming when you consider what is available. Ex. The Searchers and other John Wayne movies that are never shown. The movie Gettysburg and the prequel God’s and Generals are suggestions.

I, for one, *like* Hopalong Cassidy, because of the morals and mores that it presents. I am disappointed that the half-hour shows are not on Saturday mornings anymore at 7am, Texas time.

For those who consider it to be passé, I wonder if limiting the shows to two half-hour ones, followed by two movies on Saturday mornings, and no more for the rest of the week, would be agreeable? That way they could avoid seeing the films, and we who love them could look forward each week to Hoppy! Blessings.

Pay extra for this channel, yet the same movies are shown over and over again. There are thousands of westerns movies and tv shows yet you show Dancing with Wolves and Draw etc 4-5 times per day everyday. Get some new shows and movies Your channel sucks big time

I was very disappointed to see that Lawman has been removed from the schedule. What's up with two Death Valley Days episodes in a row? I know you can't please everyone.

So sorry to see "The Virginian" off of the lineup. If ever a western deserved to be shown on a channel devoted to westerns, it's this one. I hope you bring it back soon. I can stand a hiatus, but not a permanent drop.

I am so tired of the same old western movies over and over and over again every month. Why not show some new western movies.? It is getting to the point that I don't watch the encore western channels any more. I can get better westerns on you tube. Also get some new tv westerns like Johnny Ringo, Tombstone, Tall Man, Range Rider, Yancy Derringer, etc. Your channel now is the worst paid for channel on dish, direct tv etc. Good bye encore westerns!

It doesn't look like they have any new tv westerns for 2024. I just got rid of Dish and I am glad I did. I was tired of wtching the same westerns on encore.
