Time Warner-Disney Dispute - Where is DISH??

[DISH_NC]

Recently, in our local market (Local ABC channel is Owned by ABC/Disney), there have been ads running from Disney/ABC warning viewers that come Sept. 2, they may lose their ABC and ESPN channels if an agreement isn't struck. (Basically, Time Warner is doing a Charlie hardball play)...

The interesting thing is that in the Ad (and referred website - I Have Choices - As fans of ESPN and ABC, you should know the facts ), DISH network is not mentioned as an alternative to Time Warner Cable, only DirecTV, AT&T U-Verse and Verizon FIOS...

Wonder why they wouldn't include DISH in the alternate list...

Because DISH is in a Dispute with Disney over ESPN-U and the DISNEY owned HD channels which DISNEY removed from DISH Network's lineup last month.

because disney and dish are in a contract dispute. dish has already pulled 4 hd disney channels. dtv and disney recently updated their contract so you are safe with them.
