That's Comcast SportsNet Northwest, an RSN which has had a lot of carriage troubles - and no, it's not a terrestrial loophole case. The main cases of terrestrial loophole issues are Philly and San Diego with RSNs (CSN Philly and COX4, while not an RSN does carry all San Diego Padres games, are...

They're probably working in phases. Note that two PBS markets are getting other stations too (Peoria and Charleston SC).

Dish does carry certain Big Four subchannels in HD - CGEM (listed as XGEM) (Fox subchannel, Quincy IL) and KHQA-DT2 (ABC Quincy IL) are two of them. It's just a retrans consent issue <read: money and technical issues>.

I wonder what the Fisher dispute would fall under. Best because Dish stood up to some bad demands or worst because people lost their ABC (or CBS in a case or two)?

WPGA won't make anybody happy come 2010. ABC and WPGA are going their separate ways, WPGA going indie and ABC going to WGXA-DT2. (When will THAT appear on Dish?)

For some reason, I took a bit of a hiatus and haven't been active in the satellite scene for two months. What have I missed since October in the Dish world?

The Dish/TiVo suit is a patent issue over DVR technologies, not a user interface dispute. You're lucky you switched now because WBNS HD became available a month or two ago (after Dispatch and Dish were battling).

The mailing address will go up on the News Monitor tonight. Attn: Brooke Johnson and Attn: Jim Samples will get it read by high-level management (the presidents of Food Network and HGTV, respectively).

They are actual sites (they look like the networks' image campaigns), and there's no doubt SNI made them, but this is weird advertising.

My guess: Scripps Networks Interactive (SNI) needs a separate contract from E.W. Scripps Company (the local stations and newspapers) now for carriage. The two companies split either last year or two years ago. Re Slamminc11: Wait 24 hours and see what happens. October 1 starts a whole new...

Nel, you're under embargo? How did THAT happen?

Thanks, rocatman. That was awkward wording on my part, looking back.

Tweeted this along to Dish. Thanks.

Praise the Lord! Dispatch agrees to a deal - and more! This Twitter message at the top of the pile is the best news for two markets since who knows when. It's a retweet from @10TV that reads: DISH Network/WBNS-10TV have come to an agreement that will bring HD to subscribers' homes on DISH...

There's a new Wildcats OTA network or something. In Phoenix, it's KAZT (7).
