    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    DirecTV tried that, did not work. Dish in 5 months, unless they get a loan ( with awful terms) or investor(s), who also will be wanting some kind of guarantee or collateral, will not have enough money to continue services. So they definitely do not have enough to finance exclusive TV shows...

    Bally Sports RSNs Are Reportedly Preparing For Bankruptcy

    Better answer, I missed this when it was announced- In February, commissioner Rob Manfred said he hoped to launch a national, in-market streaming package in 2025 with about half of the league’s teams. Bringing that to fruition would be a huge deal. Not because it would make a lot of money at...

    DirecTV Makes Diamond Sports Renewal Official

    This shows I was correct- According to Sportico, the three MVPDs account for 81% of total affiliate revenue and collectively, reach 38 million household subscribers.

    Thanks also. These rules would go along with the original mandate for station operators to serve the public. When license is granted there is an expected coverage. Interesting observation- In IL I could also say that I seem to receive better from the east (and south) than west (and north)...

    Thanks "Radio" for the reply. I had actually forgotten about this item. KWML did return to full daytime power with the drastic reduction at night. Unfortunately, they have switched to a type of music that I am not interested in.

    Hopper 3 H373 update 04/24/2024

    I think if you can rewind, or go back 10 seconds or even skip, it's satellite. Stream will not allow those functions.
