Sources : Mets Sportsnet NY Reaches Deal With DirecTV, How About Dish ?

[uhlesses]

Like Iv said folks, Thank God for XM Radio! MLB EI is a joke on dish! 4 teams considered home market, so I dont get any royals or St Louis games at all! Get either rangers or astros, one always blacked out NO MONEY FROM ME DISH! Why charge full price when you should be giving us at least a 40% discount. Could it be that charlie has figured out that he will make more money showing less teams but charging the same price as Direc Tv? Switching is not a option with me since I do have XM radio. But us BASEBALL FANS ARE GETTING SCREWED WITH DISH MLB EI

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but..

I was peaking thru Sportsnet NY's website and noticed that Dish is one of the providers listed under the "Get SNY" section of their website..

Possibly Dish is almost near agreement for this channel? Would be nice!

Edit : Link http://www.sny.tv/subscribe.jsp

I also think about the people in New York who DON'T want to see the games and have E*. I'm sure those people are relieved they don't have to pay extra for a local channel service that would be forced on them in the Top 60 or 120.

I'm sure those 12 people are very happy.

Dish Network definately needs to work out a deal with Sportsnet NY. If they don't than the NY DMA would basically be SOL for baseball. No carriage of both Yankees and Mets games, wouldn't be a smart idea.

HEY it does show dish network!!!!! this could be good news maybe for the cleveland channel as well, maybe dish is starting to rethink there position on these channels!
wonder if there is a way we can confirm dish network does have this channel other then the sny website!

That list is just a phone list so we can email bomb or phone blitz them with requests to carry the channel.

Anyone who wants to see them added needs to send emails now to make sure they know how important it is to us.

I can't believe that I'm going to be blacked out of two games a night now AND I am paying $43 a month for the next three months for Extra Innings.

I agree, seeing Dish listed there means nothing. It simply means to call them and bother them about it. If you want SNY or the Cleveland Indians channel then call that number and e-mail Dish and let them know you want it.

I just hope that this doesn't turn into another YES saga.:down

I've been wondering where you've been... welcome back. Your witticisms have been missed.

No, No you are reading the wrong thing. You must go to the right side where it says "TODAY'S HEADLINES FRIDAY MARCH 3, 2006" that is updated every MWF and is the current stuff. There is accompanying articles that are added three times a week.
