i know this dispute is gonna hit my market really hard as CBS owns KTVT CBS 11 and KTXA 21. which is must have for DFW Sports fans as KTXA has some of the Stars, Rangers and Mavs games and CBS 11 with some Cowboys games as well as other NFL on CBS games and the SEC college football on CBS. if CBS does go into a 2 to 4 month dispute with Dish, the big winners in this would be cable/sat in the DFW area would be Time Warner Cable (Comcast merger still hasn't finished yet and is waiting an FCC and DOJ approval ), Charter Communications, DirecTV, AT&T Uverse, Verizon Fios and some other local providers in the area would be big winners as well as the antenna and the Internet. as with every dispute, the only winners are those on other providers, those who switched providers, those who cut the cord for good, and those who can watch on Antenna (for local stations) or Online. meanwhile, the biggest losers are both sides for pulling channels, and us the customers as we always get it up the rear,
paid TV sometimes can be like the Gasoline industry, they both like to tell us to bend over and take it like the b****es we are.

Les Moonves is an idiot. He spouts stuff all the time about all of the service providers, Satellite and cable. He's just posturing looking to make as much money as he can.
I can see the owned CBS stations off DISH Dec 1. Will DISH be then in more of mood to get the Turner stations back, and to keep TNT and TBS? Or the other way - be more interested in keeping CBS and make a deal quicker with them than they might otherwise?
You're saying that over 7 million customers will change providers over this? That would be a boon for Direct TV for sure.
Yep. CBS is leading the way - to the Big Three/Four networks leaving most or all sat and cable for their direct subscription service. Easy for sat and cable to say "You want them- subscribe direct." PLENTY of other options.
They should resolve the CBS contract more timely since they carry the NFL. Dish doesn't want to be without the NFL, especially with the Broncos being in their hometown of Denver, CO. Hopefully they pull in other CBS stations (hopefully in HD) if things fail, or perhaps CBS giving Dish customers a special deal for CBS Access.
Currently, they are not legally allowed to do this. However, a new Congress may be willing to change the rules if the Networks start getting too greedy.
That would be beneficial to the citizenry but frowned upon by businesses - I don't see it happening !
Yeah, don't count on Congress...just read about a Senator equating Net Neutrality to "Obamacare for the Internet"
