Here's why..

Why is Sprint changing and removing channels?

In order to continue to provide the most competitive rate plans possible, Sprint is making some changes in the Sprint TV lineup for data plans and data plan attachables. Some new channels will be added, and some channels will be removed.

(well I didn't see any they were adding to the included channels)

Also..

Will there be channel changes in the future?

Most likely, yes. In order to continue to provide the most competitive rate plans possible, we will continue to evaluate and revise our TV lineup accordingly. Some channels may be added, and some may be removed.
 
Channels are subject to change at any time without notice.

(so more or less they can do what they want)

Screw Sprint.  They've already not followed through on quality applications for this phone, and now they're taking away channels?  CNN, Fox Sports, Comedy Central, and NFL Network are the only channels I bother watching (the clip channels SUCKS), and now they yank them?  I guess they're trying to "entice" customers to buy the Xtra TV to actually get decent channels.  They won't get another dime out of me.  I guess I should be surprised, but then again, this is Sprint we're talking about.
