DISH Reaches Long Term Agreement with DISNEY / ESPN / ABC

[Scott Greczkowski]

So no new contract yet which means no new HD channels for now.

Bingo we have a winner.

And this sounds like what I said this morning.

Where do we go from here? It's anyone's guess.

That's one way to handle negotiations...have DISH take over stock ownership of Disney (DISH).

Whoops that was my doing, I corrected the NASDAQISH and NYSEIS as they didn't put a space between the : and the D which then makes a grinning face. I accidently deleted all the DIS and am so use to typing DISH I put in DISH instead of DIS. Corrected now.

Essentially Dish agreed to pay ESPN/Disney whatever the final contract decides for programming starting tomorrow until the contract is signed.

It looks like all the Disney properties are on the line (not just ESPN channels).

It seems that way from where I'm sitting.Again,that's a whole lot of channels.

I am so using ISH as my new moniker for them from now on.

Thanks Scott. We all needed a little comic relief.

Well yeah this is pretty much what we have now, not having ESPNU for yet another year of CFB is unacceptable.. I mean come on!!

I don't think that programming has been set as far as if channels will be lit back up in HD or not?

?No kidding. Paying the mouse whatever they want would be horrible precedent.

Dish is just going to pay for it anyways they might as well not waste eveyones time just so they can lie and say they were "fighting for a lower rate" only to raise the rates in Feb anyway. The whole thing is a scam by dish to pull the wool over the consumers' eyes. As if they actually care about controlling costs

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yepp. 100% tired of hearing they are working for me, when they actually arent. A whole year and they still can't work it out, cmon...

Today in Algebra 101, we learn that x + 2 is less than x + 3.
