We are? For real? Last I heard, it was in negotiations...or is this sarcasm?

It's on the list....

"if a reasonable longer term agreement cannot be reached with the programmers, we may lose the rights to carry them (listed in alphabetical order) in or after December 2016: AXS TV (channel 1106 in HD),"

A lot of channels are on the list. Most get renewed. Just about the only exceptions were the Hallmark channels, NHL Network and the Scripps channels. All came back.

From Wikipedia:

On October 1, 2016, Dish Network removed the channel from the lineup. As with their earlier dropping of Cloo, the provider justified it by stating that Esquire's schedule is made up of programming also easily found on USA Network, WGN America and Ion Television, along with streaming providers. The only notice of the dropping was through the provider's monthly billing statement. AT&T has also given notice that Esquire network will be dropped from U-verse and DirecTV on December 15.[11]
