Exactly! Where I am right now is a perfect example. I cannot even come close to getting a signal from Cleveland's FOX affiliate (WJW) OTA. Fortunately, that station is no longer owned by Fox, so it is not impacted by this dispute. My other Dish account has San Francisco locals, though, so I did lose KTVU. :(

I got the email from Dish this morning. The funny part is that this email was for my account that was not impacted by this dispute, and there was not any email for the account that was impacted. At least I got the notice, though.
 
DISH and Fox settle!:cheer

PRICE HIKES to follow in January with the next yearly DISH price increase. Then you will find out if everyone is going to see an increase in the locals pack and or the regular programming packs.:smug
I am not so sure about that, with so many RSN's still missing. I think that would make a substantial impact on the bill. It would possibly be enough to make Dish actually lower the price of packages that include those channels, or at least not do the regularly-scheduled increase. I realize that a few regions still have RSN's, but Dish could implement a surcharge for only those regions, so that the rest of us across the country are not paying for channels that we are not receiving. I do worry about the impact that the local channel disputes may have on the price of Welcome Pack, though.

Price hikes would be higher had DISH caved in to FOX's original demand. This is true for every other dispute DISH has with other networks.
 

Don't have one, but if there's one thing I've learned in my 22 years of being a DISH customer, it's the fact that Charlie and his associates are tough negotiators and don't cave in to unreasonable demands. It's common sense to figure out that if DISH agrees to pay original carriage demands, our bill would be $200 instead of $100.

Directv isn't that much higher, neither is cable, so I don't understand your argument here.
 
More likely they saw the numbers ditching sling after the nfl network fiasco, nearly had a heart attack, and simply caved before fox pulled the same thing on red zone.
