    possible returning customer

    I have all of that. Years ago, when we lost my local Fox channel and I complained about the loss of the NFL, Dish came out and installed an antenna for me. I still have it. Still works. I just don't see the option on DISH's sign up page to elect out of locals, so I was wondering if this...

    It was, but changes to RSNs now make that kind of irrelevant. The RSNs no longer fully exist. Most have gone out of business. Yep, Comcast will raise the price of my broadband...but can go w/phone guys, or TMobile now has this mobile internet Looks like I still can opt out of locals on...

    It has been about 6 years since I left DISH. Local channel cost is out of control in my cable bill. Does DISH still have the options to do its packages without locals? I rooted around the DISH site and all they offer now, it seems, is packages with locals. Did this change?

    Cox Media Group Removes Local Channels From DISH

    Comcaast just pays whatever the offered rate is. The problem there is that since Comcast owns NBC, it naturally doesn;t want to see NBC pulled. And then when the other networks come with their offers similar to the NBC stations, Comcast pretty much has to cave there as well.

    PAC-12 Network Suing Dish

    I finally left DISH for Comcast once all the RSNs disappeared. It was unfortunate, and I get DISH's position here, but I had to pull the plug.

    PAC-12 Network Suing Dish

    If there is a signed contract might be better to just sue and get paid. DISH will lose this one.

    Yep, and the OP is free to take his business elsewhere just the same.

    I tried calling Tegna today to complain but they no longer give an option to talk to an operator.

    Who said I was yelling at the clouds? The guy posted and I told him here's an option. Get over yourself.

    You can do what you want to do. Others can do what they want to do. The guy that posted said the channels are not even answering now. if he wants to get through, here is a way to harass them back. I've head your point. You like to sit back and take it and say nothing. That's your...

    How does it help? It's news that the viewers are dissatisfied and maybe the news should go do an honest analysis of the situation. Or not. You can call DISH if you want, and people do. If DISH did something to screw its customers I'd call. I have, And I quit DISH because of it. DISH...

    It will waste the news crew's time. Maybe this is the intent, like Tegna wasting viewers time. World does better when people do the right thing the first time. When they don't chaos ensues.

    Call the newsroom of one of their channel's TV news operation. You'll get through. Give them the tip that a certain TV channel group is screwing its viewership
