Why would the networks object? The law allowed for Dish Network to have the injunction dropped and allow them back into the distant business again, so it wouldn't matter if the networks had any objections, as Dish Network was going to get their license.Yup and guess who will soon be offering Distant Network's again.
That case was really worth it huh?
When dish applied to get their distant networks licence again, not one network objected.
The difference is this time, Dish Network is going to have to qualify anyone that wants a distant network, and one of the first qualifications is that if local-into-local is available, a waiver is required from the stations in that market. Any bets on how many waivers will be granted?
