Anyone heard anything about this? Saw a commercial flash across my screen talking about Dish might be blocking Fox News coming up.

They get in stupid contract disputes all the time.

Dish got into a spat with Turner back in November and dropped CNN for about a month.
So maybe they're trying to be 'fair and balanced'. |
|
They blocked CBS recently in select markets for a few days over $.
|
|
They should, they shouldn't have to pay for channels with advertising on them, same thing with AMC.
|
|
CNN was off the air on Dish for about two weeks not long ago because of some kind of contract dispute. I must say I wish that had been made permanent.
|
|
|
The wording of this is backwards I think. Is Dish blocking anyone or are the various channels (Fox in this case) refusing to let Dish transmit them unless Dish pays them more money???

FOX pulls Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network programming from Dish Network - @varietyhttp://variety.com/2014/tv/news/dish-says-21st-century-fox-blacks-out-fox-news-fox-business-1201384603/ Fook them. They removed it out of my favorites menu. The Blaze is there in it's place. |

I don't complain much about Time Warner Cable. It is always working, Internet is fast, customer service has always been good for me, and I don't recall ever experiencing channels being removed over contract negotiations. It seems to happen all the time with Dish Network.

networks have deals with cable/satellite providers to carry their channel... the provider pays X amount of dollars to carry the channel.. when these contracts come up, usually the channel wants more money and the provider doesn't wanna pay that money.. hence why networks are dropped sometimes... Most of the LA market couldn't watch the dodgers this season b/c time warner purchased the dodger's cable rights and wouldn't give a fair deal to any other provider, so the other providers didn't carry the dodger channel...

It's because ergen has no problem telling fox to fuck off or any other channel. Fox will come to his price not the other way around, they ALWAYS do. He does it all the time. Definitely not due to their equipment because it is far superior to direct or Comcast.

Fox is gone. Replaced by TheBlaze. Says "FOX Removed Channels"

The real question is why did congress decide we fund CNN and MSNBC with cable fees when we don't watch them? about 100 channels would go out of business if people could pay for what they watch.

I was wondering why Glen Beck was suddenly on the TV at my hotel room in FLA. I didn't need to see him on a Sunday morning.

Blocking FOX? Then you missed Ainsley looking hot in a tight blue dress this morning.

I'm not much for T.V. in general but I thought modern sets were equipped with separate antenna and cable line-in features. Couldn't you bypass that aggravation by utilizing the set supplied feature?

Stayed at The Broadmor last night, and woke up this morning to try and check the news. 2 things happened; I couldn't watch Fox News, and became disappointed that such a fine hotel has shitty Dish Network.

I dropped Dish after those Annoying as fuck Yankee "Hopper" commercials aired incessantly...
