i have DirecTV and live in North Texas, so i felt the same pain the Dish/SLING customers felt in this dispute when we went through a month long dispute over the CBS O&O channels. just glad this dispute ended pretty quick. i guess the World Series was the reason for the quick caving in for Fox and Dish/Sling TV.

Thank god the dispute lasted long enough so those in the NY market avoided seeing the Giants loss. Of course they still got to see the Jets get pummeled for the 11th time by the Eagles.

Not a sports fan at all, but I am glad I got my “moved” channels of KMSP (Fox) and its sister station of WFTC (MyNetworkTV/Fox+) back!

Different owner, different dispute. (Sinclair I believe) But I guess the answer is the same either way, no....

The "Fox" RSNs are owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group now. Something will get worked out (Rome wasn't built in a day).

The World Series doesn't begin until 10-22, so it wasn't that.
