Look at the Dish Marketing Department out in full force...
Where are you when we can't get Customer Service to fix something?!
think about, what if every channel wanted wanted 0.01 per subscriber per day. lets take the t250 plus locals---
250 channels x0.01=$2.50
$2.50 x 30 days = 75.00 per day that dish has to pay all the channels
what do you think your bill would like after dish had to mark that up to cover their overhead to keep service going? yes its unfortunate that people cannot watch programming that they enjoy, but it is for the better good in the long run that dish drops channels that try to strongarm them. if one one channel sees another channel getting away with it, it will never stop.
You get the LA NBC station?KRON, in San Francisco, is an interesting example of Young Broadcasting's business strategy.
By "Young Broadcasting's business strategy" I mean "Young Broadcasting's self-destructive penchant for douchebaggery".
KRON was the local NBC affiliate until Young decided to try to play hardball with NBC. I forget exactly what stunt they were trying, but basically it was something that was unheard of in the history of network-affiliate relations.
The end result is that KNBC is now the Bay Area's NBC affiliate and KRON is an unwatchable dumping ground for crap reruns and cheap local programming.
I have zero problems with believing this is Young Broadcasting's fault.
And I NEVER have a problem with Dish playing hardball while attempting to keep my bill as low as possible.
Dish started most markets before DIRECTV. Dish will have more contracts coming up first.
Now see; Slamminc11 is a perfect example of their attitude.
Needless to say, he's an employee.
YAWN
Give it a few days and the stations will be back on the Air....
All it is right now is a big pissing match, the station is blaming DISH Network and DISH Network is blaming the station. I just love it how DISH Network always has to take it to the last minute of the last hour on these negotiations and always has to end up pulling the station for a few days before they can get to a resolution and kiss and make up like nothing happened.
Direct has always led in the number of local markets carried....
Richmond VA station is back on line.
