The Disney/Dish dispute is clearly one of the worst disputes with a provider and a media company. looks like we won't get these channels back soon, why, because Dish is fighting Disney real hard, and they may not give up, they could just sue again in a higher level then New York (which may had been pro-Disney, due to Dish removing New York RSNs, and the possibility of Disney being in bed with the judge and jury). So if Dish files another lawsuit against Disney, expect it to be with the Supreme Court and possibly get some politicians involved leading to some changes in carriage laws for paid providers in the future. I bet the FCC could use this dispute and past disputes as an reason to change the rules on carriage disputes to prevent customers being left in the dark.
Disney, you may have one this round, but this isn't over yet, not by a long shot, sadly, this dispute could last for years if both sides keep suing each other. And i think it's time for the FCC or Congress/senate to step in and fix this carriage dispute epidemic. even if you like it or not, i know some don't want the government to get involved, but maybe they could find a way to solved this epidemic. Carriage disputes have been going way too far the last 5 years.
