I say cut off the Distance Networks, and let Dish deal with the consequences.
Dish knowing continued to break the law.
Giving Dish an extention would provide Dish with essentially a Get out of Jail Free Card. In 3 months Dish could easily put of the remaining DMAs.
Now the whole Fox O&O stations killing the settlement smells a bit fishy.
You know better than this. The "settlement" was dead ab initio. Rupert Murdoch himself could have begged for its implementation and the result would have been the same. I encourage you to read the relevant court documents. Anybody who says there would have been a settlement and no injunction had it not been for Fox/Rupert/NAB conspiracy is living in an alternative reality.
