This is nothing new. Last year I had to suffer the loss of Versus, meaning I missed the end of the IndyCar season, & the entire NHL season. It was the same nonsense as Dish is getting now. And for the same reason. In this case Fox is trying to get a 50% increase in fees from Dish to carry their channels, which include NatGeo, FX, & 19 regional sports channels.
This will continue to happen. Every year this happens. Last year it was Directv, before that it was Cablevision or was it Time Warner? Remember New Yorkers getting ABC part way into the Oscars? Meanwhile Fox is telling subscribers to switch to Directv or cable. Remember, the NFL is on the over the air network & that will be next. They will go after Directv next, when that contract is up. Switching providers is not the answer. Fox is the problem.
