Free Preview Weekend for MGM (previously Epix)?

I was channel surfing and noticed that all the MGM (Epix) channels were active.  I can't find any confirmation that it's a free preview weekend.  https://www.freepreview.tv/  doesn't seem to be responding.

 Channels 1891-1894

Don't mess with old people.  The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.

I also see it on my TV.

Interestingly enough, I believe all MGM channels (including all/most premium channels) are available in HD...yet U-Verse doesn't have them all in HD.

Not that it matters because the subscriptions offer access to the streaming apps, but it is interesting that there's still channels in the 800 range that aren't in the 1800 range.

I wouldn't be surprised if long-term, many of the linear channels are removed from guides with the exceptions of any that show live programming.

According to Wiki, MGM Drive-In does have a feed available in HD.

But U-Verse also has a bonus because it's apparently the only provider with east and west coast feeds of MGM+ available to all customers.

But like I said, with "on demand" and apps available, many of the channels are redundant in today's society.

As an example, most people could probably live with HBO, HBO West, HBO Family, HBO Latino, HBO Latino West. The other channels (Zone, Signature, etc) are really extraneous considering everyone who pays for linear HBO gets HBO Max.
