Does this mean an agreement for the OTA stations or the overall FSN FX etc. ?

guys keep the politics out of it....

IMO they are. All they are talking about is programming and TV personalities they do or don't like.

 

[llzel]

Iceberg, do you look that mean in real life?

 

[Fred Derf]

Too bad. I would love it if we lost FOX news. I have to block it out on my receivers because I consider watching it unacceptable.

How much does Fox stand to lose if Dish refuses to reach any agreement?

I know Dish would lose customers to other providers but they would survive. How would Fox fair?

DIRECTV's quarterly report does say 3%. It is buried in there. The article quoted does not really spell it out.

I read your attach website. FOX hasn't indicated anywhere else, which leads me to believe that this was a separate deal between that particular station and Dish. I might be wrong, but FOX and Dish haven't indicated this at all refering to the main dispute.

However this is a Local TV station. FOX was negotiating on their behalf.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I was correct yet again. Damn I am good.

 

[HDRoberts]

Well, according to one affiliate. I can find no other articles. We got confirmation?

That station is owned by Local TV LLC, which is involved in the dispute. But I agree, confirmation would be nice.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It appears that DISH and FOX have stuck a deal!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I have a note into DISH about it. For official confirmation from them, although I heard it could be coming today (with the channels coming back on the 1st)

Again waiting to hear from DISH on this for confirmation.

Details? Links? Anything? Bueller? Bueller?

 

[billdz]

It appears that DISH and FOX have stuck a deal!

Or at least they are close:
"Dish Network and Fox are close to cutting a carriage deal for Fox, FX, the National Geographic Channel and all 19 of Fox' RSNs, ending a bitter four-week series of high-level negotiations, according to sources." Dish Network, Fox Close To Reaching Carriage Agreement

 

[Bill_KY]

Wonder if Cablevision has a deal as well....The devil is in the detail$...

 

[HDRoberts]

"with the channels coming back on the 1st" - Guess that means it includes the RSNs, FX, and Nat Geo Wild.

Yup of course that is still a rumor at this point... (Just what I am hearing)
