CBS stations return to DISH

[satjay]

That's what I figured, so my CBS will be one of the 7 days when the deal is Official

Glad to see the Showtime Anywhere and VOD is part of the deal. While I'm not affected by the autohop change for CBS it isn't something I'd lose sleep over if I was.

Curious about how much money changing has happened in the deal though.

Not even time to get a discount

Worries me that Dish may have blinked on this one(Considering a tiny 12 hour blackout) OR CBS was way to pull hungry even though they agreed to a Sun night deadline...

What discount? You aren't with Dish anymore, remember?

 

[kenny9966]

Very excited about Showtime Anytime though!! I missed the middle seasons of Dexter and id like to see what i missed.

In the words of Aaron Rogers, hopefully now everyone will Relax

12 hours is real quick, Scott did mention he had heard there were close before they did pull, they probably felt they had to pull since they kept saying they were going to pull channels and had not

Here, never.

I'm glad this got over with quick.

Imo dish had no choice but to step up. Many underestimate the consequences of losing cbs, these markets are so big it could have been potentially disastrous for dish.

Nah....some folks are already trying to find another crisis to go ballistic over...like the annual price increase right around the corner.

Moonves will make himself look like the mighty conqueror.

Interesting Information - "CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS.A and CBS) and DISH Network L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of DISH Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), have reached a multi-year agreement for carriage of CBS owned stations across the country, as well as CBS Sports Network, Smithsonian Channel, TVGN and Showtime Networks, which includes Showtime TV Everywhere and Video-on-Demand rights. The agreement will result in dismissal of all pending litigation between the two companies, including disputes over PrimeTime Anytime and AutoHop. As part of the accord, DISH’s AutoHop commercial-skipping functionality will not be available for CBS Television Network-owned stations and affiliates during the C7 window."

I wonder if TVGN/Pop and the SD Sho channels become HD now...

Looks like a lot of people got worked up about nothing once again. Patience is a virtue.

So far, neither my ABC or CBS has been impacted (by the extended Autohop).

 

[thechaz05]

7 f'n day wait for autohop? I know most people do not care but this is ridiculous.

 

[jerryez]

Did they pull Showtime also?
