Have you ever called Dish to ask them to reauthorize your receiver? If you don't contact them, they can't fix it. If calling doesn't work, it's time to email ceo@dishnetwork.com
Incessantly complaining about it here won't solve anything.
Gee, a regional sports network, wouldn't that be nice. Oh, wait, I have one (here in Pennsylvania). It's called the Rocky Mountain Sports Network and carries the Rockies and Colorado Buffaloes, among others. Only one problem, every, and I mean every, sporting event of any kind is blacked out. The only things that aren't are the talk shows and infomercials.
Sounds like you're referring to WKEF (ABC) and WRGT (FOX) from the Dayton OH market. Sinclair-owned but 'controlled' out of Indianapolis. They do the opinion segments too (the very last part of their news broadcast, right ?) and it's normally done by a guy from their Cincinnati station. I'd guess that most people think he works "at" the local Dayton station. I'll bet he shows up on other Sinclair-owned stations as well.We have a Sinclair station in our local reception area, along with a few others. The Sinclair station is known in this area as more of a joke when compared to the other local stations. It’s an EXTREMELY high turnover station. Someone new almost every month. News broadcasts always mismatching stories and pictures. Misspelled words scrolling across the screen. They throw in their opinion segments which are extremely skewed and one sided (always, they never waiver). The station is in Springfield, IL and we’re 17 miles South BUT to get a good local news reporting, we’ve resorted to a channel out of Champaign, IL. Much better reporting on Springfield. Better weather reporting. A more professional look and feel overall. But the Sinclair station...just terrible.
Can we all just agree that Root Sports was possibly the worst name for an RSN ever...
Sure hope those BS with Boris political propaganda segments don't hit the sports nets as they do Sinclair's channels.
It is an established point that Sinclair has inputted ‘editorials’ in their news broadcast as a local message which was in fact required broadcasting at every Sinclair owned station. To keep it out of The Pit, I’ll limit it to that.Huh?

I’m pretty their sports channels won’t get editorialized, but knowing Sinclair, the term ‘paywall’ comes to mind.
I wonder how profitable the RSNs are, as they’ve been switching hands periodically for the last few decades, since they were Sportschannel *insert region*. Sure, there have been NESN and MSG but those seem to be a minority.
Not like Sinclair had.Doesn't every TV news station input opinion and editorial pieces in their newscasts now? That's one of the reasons I can't stand to watch the news.
I think you missed the joke. He lives in Pennsylvania, and is getting the same Colorado sports net that we all are getting. He's subjected to blackout restrictions, just as all of us outside the market are. So, other than live games that are blacked out, the only other content on it are talk shows and infomercials.Have you ever called Dish to ask them to reauthorize your receiver?

We have had NESN for decades. Owned jointly by the Red Sox and Bruins. It has to be one of the earliest team owned RSNs.I think Sinclair is in for a rude awakening as these sports teams form their own sports network.
The Yankees did it and the Tigers, Pistons and Red Wings are doing it in Detroit soon.

He’s in the Philadelphia DMA and, if I remember correctly, that RSN is not available to Dish or DirecTV...He also isn't receiving the RSN he's supposed to be getting, though, and that is an issue

None of my local ones do this on a regular basis AFAIK. The ones we watch most don't seem to from my recollection. News, weather, sports, consumer assistance, local travel & public interest stories, and the occasional "investigative" story like the newspapers used to have staff to do, and that is pretty much it.
That's refreshing!
This was standard back when I was growing up. All the stations would have an "editorial" presented by some executive of the local station.Doesn't every TV news station input opinion and editorial pieces in their newscasts now? That's one of the reasons I can't stand to watch the news.
