    FOX Programming moved to a digital sub-channel. Will Dish carry?

    On Aug. 1, FOX programing moved from WFFT-TV to a digital sub-channel of WISE-TV in Ft. Wayne, IN. Currently Dish does not carry any of our locals sub-channels. When talking to CSR, they know nothing about it or don't understand the question. Can any one here enlighten me?
