It's a bad situation for all sides involved. Fisher's losing, Dish is losing and the viewers are losing. However, given the current economic climate, I'd rather be getting a $1 back on my bill than an 82% increase on it...
Fisher Communications Channels are BACK on Dish!

Probably would not have to go as high as congress.. the FCC already "gives" the networks the airways for free, they do have to pay some fees but not a direct user rate. It would seem that them selling something that is already given to them should not truly be allowed.
No question about it, this is a pissing contest between fish and dish and nobody's winning nothing!

I've lost my patience over this issue. I can't get KOMO OTA, even though I am supposedly in the area that can. I've been an E* subscriber since the beginning but now I'm wondering why I haven't gone over to DTV. They certainly know an opportunity when they see one and hit me up with a mailing at least once a month. At this point, it really doesn't matter to me who is, "in the right". I was willing to wait a couple of months for this to get resolved, but we are now going into the 5th month. Is anyone else thinking about moving on to the other satellite guys?
To answer your question, in my case, Not a viable option. Now,
FISH vs. DISH - Viewers Held Hostage, Day 132: Time for an accounting.
Fisher announced its earnings today, the details of which are posted in full HERE. But here's the part that deals with the ongoing spat. Nothing you haven't heard already, but...
Dish is supposed to make its First Quarter declaration May 11. It will be interesting to see what they have to say in response. In the meantime, the people that count most are still left in the dark...

Does anyone else have accurate channel listings for KOMO starting at 5:30PM tonight? Don't want to get hope up, but this is the closest I've seen since the dispute began. Right now my guide shows "Important News" until 5:30PM, then ABC World News Tonight and the rest of the KOMO lineup. Huh.
...and today we enter the 6th month of the Fish vs. Dish stand-off. No ABC network shows for you! No CBS network shows for them!
Someone on a local radio show said he called Dish back in December right after the cut-off and was told not to worry, these things only last a couple of days, a week or two at most. So is this a record?

If it isn't a record, it's gotta be getting close... What lunacy... No one is winning in this situation...it's a losing situation all the way around.
I feel for you guys but I still think E* needs to not give into Fisher. Fisher is just trying to squeeze more money and if they are sucessful then all the providers of the big 4 nets will be trying to do the same thing and then we will have to be paying more for what should be damn near free because it is supported by ads. And I work for a TV station.
I agree. E* needs to stand firm. If Fisher wins, all the network affilliates will start wanting more money.
I have not miss komo one bit we live in whatcom co. north of seattle, we are getting our abc station on 246 kgo. so dish does help its costmers with there programing.
