Fox News Gone
Diddya hear that Fox News is no longer being carried by Dish Network?
Yeah, it's a **HUGE** ding for Dish, as their are millions and millions of subscribers who are faithful watchers of Fox News.... the #1 cable news network year after year after year.
All this is the result of disputes over contracts / pricing / rates, just as Dish has had with several other channels / media conglomerates lately.
And it's an ugly "he said, she said" dispute:
Dish says:
"Fox blacked out two of its news channels, using them as leverage to triple rates on sports and entertainment channels that are not in this contract."
Fox says:
"Fox News Channel did not disconnect Dish, rather, Dish prematurely ceased distribution of Fox News in an attempt to intimidate and sway our negotiations."
Yeesh!
Reports are that Dish is bleeding customers over this.... customers fed-up with being shut-out of channels they expect and demand to receive.
That's costing Dish money.
Lots of money.

In my opinion, this is yet another stupid war over money and greed and power.... or lack of power.
May Dish and Fox reach an agreement before Sean Hannity calls in the calvary.
Out for now.......
