Imagine if all the Turner channels and CBS and it's related channels were all gone, at the same time? That'd be an ugly situation to be in for Dish...
I know a lot of people get in an uproar at this site when Dish loses/drops a channel or channels but people who do that have blinders on. Time Warner is the cableco that covers my area (predominantly) and the local media -- since all they seem to like is negative stories -- are all over it when TWC drops channels and it happens more than once a year.But it would be worse for Dish if the Turner and Viacom channels were gone because at least subs would have other places to go to watch those channels.
Yes, I'd say there will be about 7 or 8 million (minimum) potential viewers MIA.i bet you money Dish and Turner will reach a deal after the midterm election cause it's gonna hurt CNN more knowing their biggest night of the year for news coverage that isn't a big breaking news event will suffer a major decrease of ratings due to losing eyeballs that normally watch CNN on Dish. so in a way, this could be a year where CNN will get lower ratings on Election night all because Turner and Dish are in a dispute
Guaranteed 14 million eyes not watching them.
Wonder if they'll reach an agreement before Tuesday (Election Day) so they can avoid losing the potentially 14 million Dish viewers.i bet you money Dish and Turner will reach a deal after the midterm election cause it's gonna hurt CNN more knowing their biggest night of the year for news coverage that isn't a big breaking news event will suffer a major decrease of ratings due to losing eyeballs that normally watch CNN on Dish. so in a way, this could be a year where CNN will get lower ratings on Election night all because Turner and Dish are in a dispute
If this were a presidential election year, I'd say yes.Wonder if they'll reach an agreement before Tuesday (Election Day) so they can avoid losing the potentially 14 million Dish viewers.
