What does this have to do with carriage negotiations?
I live in Union county not far from the Meck line. WCNC's signal is marginal at best. But it's doable.
Ef these retrans fights.
We as consumers should not bear the brunt of them.
I just wish the locals would just go FTA, they're free over the air via antenna anyway, why should the satellite services be allowed to scramble them and make us pay for them? Not only that, but they don't even provide all the channels/sub-channels in our market in the 1st place. Doesn't make much sense to me...
Either 1 tastes like chicken.
Ok. If pigs had wings - don't look up!
Just a minute....Now before you go off on a theory, think about this....If Satco A is paying Blow Torch Communication for their signals, would it not be logical for satco B to be paying roughly the same price?
But you can't tell Dish to drop the locals and get a credit in return.
What's up with Tegna today? I don't see the blue scrawl at the bottom of my screen telling me that I will lose my local Abc station if I don't call and tell DISH. Could they have already settled it before the deadline tonight?
To be fair his point I think would be getting into these disputes should result in paying less than providers who don't have as many. Taken individually it may not be much of a savings, but accumulated including RSN's I do believe there is a savings to DISH. It at least plays a part of why I pay so much less for the same service I would have with Direct TV. Direct is a relative newcomer to not just signing contracts or picking up every sports entity.
They save when the channel is pulled..the longer it's off..the fatter Charlie wallet gets

To be fair, you are technically not charged anything extra for the locals anymore. They are just included in the package price. Years past, it had a completely seperate charge.
