But aren't ratings determined by random placement of diaries or meters? So in order for a blackout to influence the numbers, the diary or meter would have to be in a Dish equipped home. Granted, we are in a ratings period, but if I'm the sales guy, I'm going to be showing last month's numbers, and that's assuming it's a metered market. If it's diary, they're using numbers from May, February, or last November.

An update on my Sling problems: The initial Sling account that Dish created for me never worked for viewing live programming. So after a couple tries with Sling support, someone finally asked me to create a new trial account that they would then convert to a 30 day trial. (Apparently, even though I don't see this listed in writing anywhere, the Sling rep said that the Tribune offer is limited to one 30 day trial of Sling Blue and that after that runs out, Dish figures the Tribune deal should be done, or if it isn't, we are welcome to contact a Dish CSR for our options at that point.) So I now have a functional Sling Blue account, which works better than the antenna they sent me. (I will say the amplifier that came with the antenna isn't bad, but the antenna itself didn't seem to beat a Leaf or a Leaf clone.)
The local Fox channel is blacked out in my area and I live to far for the antenna to work. Sling account has not been working for me but that is ok as I have other options. Except for local news, any programing I want I can stream via Kodi or other means. So as far as I am concern, they can let Tribune wither on the vine. I am tired of being a hostage and won't take it anymore. It is so easy to get whatever you want via the Internet that the only reason for a service provider is convenience. I time shift all my programing anyway so to watch Fox programs, I just fire up Kodi and view my programs. As an added benefit, someone has also removed all the commercials.
Yes, but that was nine-and-a-half years ago, after Dish lost the ability to provide distant networks. Still, it never hurts to ask!
Kind of an interesting article, considering its from Tribune... Seems to state that DISH customers don't really care the Tribute channels are gone.

"And until Tribune Media — which, it should be noted, divorced the Chicago Tribune and other publishing businesses in August 2014 "
Not for those who do not have a clue to watch the app on their big HD/UHD TV and don't like the access rights those apps have on their devices (all I've spoken to express this), and that is a problem NOT solved for ALL I have spoken to, and a few added "it's is not worth the hassle" remark to emphasize they just won't bother unless it is on their Dish guide. Not everyone is app happy, my friend. These folks want to watch TV at their TV with that Dish box connected to it, even preferred to the Roku experience which they reserve for movies, or Netflix original programming but nothing else.
Coming from Chicago, I didn't know that Dish only had about 9% of the households. I thought it would be higher. Maybe they are talking literally the city of Chicago, and not the entire Chicago DMA. But as I drive around, I see an awful lot of Dish Network dishes.
I wonder what the percentage of New Yorker's have Dish?
But seriously that's not a surprising number 9% ,when out of the entire country's TV Households Dish is only 15%.

9% does seem low. I'd normally guess that it's somewhat close to a 50/50 split between cable and Dish/Directv, give or take. That is based on 80-85% of homes having some form of "pay" TV. The remainder would be no pay TV and OTA (combined).
As for the # of dishes you see, odds are there are just as many you can't see. If you drove around a neighborhood, counted the total houses, and counted the # of dishes, then do that for a few different neighborhoods, you'd get a reasonably good estimate (%).

Not like it used to be..but it does carry roughly 20 Yankee games and 20 Met games
CW also ranked 12th out of 100 in the most watched networks of 2015.
WGN was 62.
Sorry but WGN loss is not the problem.
It's the people that lost CBS,NBC,ABC, FOX,MY,CW.
WGN is dismal numbers.
NFL Network was better at 60 lol.

The article says that NY is only 3% Dish. I guess that 9% makes sense if only 15% of the total county is Dish.
