Dish needs to get their act together so that the FSN's don't end up like the YES network. Dish did have the YES network a long time ago but do to a contract dispute the channel was never played on dish again. Charlie loves to low-ball programmers. DIsh hasn't had the YES since the time I have been their which has been about 4 years.
Wasn't that piece of crap owned by steinbrenner? Or was it some fly by night operator who he just pulled the strings for? Not being a yankee fan it matters little.
Point is steinbrenner was a lot like murdoch, make money at the expense of everyone else.
