I wonder how many subs (and thus how financially stable or not) Dish would be today if the networks hadn't price gouged them out of being able to offer competitive pricing to customers.
Except that same pricing has been offered to DirecTV, Comcast, Charter, etc.
Then we have the fact of YTTV gaining over 9 Million subscribers, in the same time period Dish lost almost 8 Million, which shows smaller, less expensive packages can work.
Everyone blames the Networks, but channels like ESPN and RSNs charge a much higher per sub fee.
But no matter what, it is still a new content issue, all of the new content on Broadcast/Cable Channels are on streaming services, along with all the new exclusive streaming shows and movies, with sports and news, for a much less expensive price along with the better video and sound ( for a small example, CBS shows are in 4K on Paramount+, but in bit starved 1080i on Paid Live TV, FX shows are in 4K on Hulu, 720P on Paid Live TV).
Dish and everyone else, can no longer compete any longer, hence why losses are increasing.
