Time to discount that particular source.I got an email last night (I should note that its unconfirmed) that beIN Sport will NOT be on DISH.

Their website updated and is now much more than a banner.

And one of those sources was biIN themselves.Better than nothing as Scott's source said the channel would not be on Dish at all.
I dont name sources, but the email I got last night was from some guy from a major soccer site. (not anyone at DISH) but he claimed he talked to beIN and DISH and said it was coming.
My thoughts exactly.. I hope Oliver wasnt behind that email.I hope this guy wasn't that guy on BIGSOCCER whose been spinning tales about BeIN bidding on college football and "trading" programming with ESPN...and who tried to get a job at BeIn by cybersquatting on their twitter/facebook names and expecting they would contact him?
I can say without a doubt that the best part of this being partially settled is NEVER having to go back to that forum/thread and waste time on that guys insane ramblings again.
We are talking about the Spanish League which hasn't been on Dish since they dropped GolTV. Serie A, Championship, and Ligue Un were on Fox, though mostly on FS+. So, for the most part, these represent leagues that weren't on previously on normal non-premium channels (except Serie A). Dish survived without them, so this isn't exactly surprising. If GolTV wasn't worth it... why are these leagues worth it now, unless beIn is actually paying for carriage.
These are niche leagues, sadly. EPL doesn't garner a lot of viewers, these leagues would be even fewer. Hopefully Dish will get this network, but the idea that Charlies kids don't watch football therefore no one does is a bit of a low shot, seeing that most people don't watch football in America... unless there are a ton of commercial breaks, lots of pads, and only about 12 minutes of action per 60 minutes of official time.
