Like Charlie himself has said many times, if you want sports then you should get DIRECTV. I think he has DIRECTV himself.
He said "loosing" not "losing". I can only presume he means that Dish is loosening up with the money... giving it away via sharp discounts on premiums and decent short term promo discounts on packages in order to remain competitive.
I could be stretching it a bit there though.
He didn't start it, just pointed out the fallacy.I don't think you really want to go there.
I can think of 4 right off the bat, that dish doesn't carry in Pro sports..
Let's not turn this thread into a battle about RSNs per provider.

So much wrong with this. Spelling and grammar aside, Dish isn't loosing nor losing money.
My apology. I’m a gentleman not a scholar (although that could probably be debated). I obviously rely way too much on spell check. Still, you get my drift and I was referring mostly to areas like H-town and others mentioned in this thread that don't get Root Sports. Sport bars are huge in our area. Not a single one has Dish. That can't be good for business.
I went into a Pizza Place last week that had Dish. Yes I was shocked. The restaurant had tables around the outside of the room with a pool table in the middle. Not sure if they serve adult beverages there as I was only getting take-out pizza and wings. I noticed it because they had a HDTV hooked up to a Wally and the local HD channel they were showing had black bars across top and bottom that caught my attention and why I looked.
Well that's 1.

I should add that the Pizza place is over the border from here into NY State meaning they will get no SNY, YES or MSG so it boggles the mind why they would have chosen Dish as their provider. Then again, with the aspect ratio on the TV set wrong it is obvious that they are pretty clueless. When I asked the waitress who was in charge of setting up the TVs she said, "Mimi, but she's not here". Kind of tells you all you need to know.
MLB Extra Innings is now carrying Root Sports for Astros games. Similar to YES Network but unlike all other feeds - commercials are blacked out.
