Nexstar Media Group forces blackout of nearly 5.4 million DISH customers

[eddie willers]

Name one capitalist that believes in “no regulation”. We believe in LOW REGULATION. That’s an obvious difference. Regulation actually drives prices up and possibly contributes to channel disputes. You’re confusing capitalism with anarchy. I am far from an anarchist.

Sounds like you are an Objectivist....like me.

Haha no you are not! Oh I'm loving the new TPIR channel but I just wish they wouldn't repeat the same shows over and over so much. And those LOUD commercials

It's mostly that Vevo commercial that I find to be loud and annoying. Why do they have to start it out with such a loud music note that startles me every time I hear it?

Some things do go down in price, if you wait. Try watching classic episodes of The Price Is Right from the early 1980's. The price of a VCR has come down quite considerably.

Haaa! I have 3 of them in my basement!

Kind of reminds me of this song: The Police - When The World Is Running Down, You Make The Best Of What's Still Around Lyrics | AZLyrics.com
(I made that reference in another thread, when the discussion turned to VCR's.)

With the news that they reached a deal with YouTube TV I would not be surprised if this dispute with dish is over shortly.

Are you referring to the Nexstar deal with YouTube TV? That happened before the blackout. Or is there another deal involved?

Cord Cutters also said Hulu just added their Nexstar locals and WGN America back up. Hulu and Nexstar Reach a Deal to Bring Locals Back to Hulu with Live, Adding WGN America | Cord Cutters News

Sorry it may have been Hulu not YouTube TV. I quickly read it early this morning.

YouTube is adding WGN America.

ION has done quite well going the must carry route. So well, that Scripps bought them for $2.65B.
Nexstar should take notice of that fact.

Those of you like me that their CBS stations are blacked out the SEC Championship game is on regular YouTube not the tv version.

I see Direct TV got their dispute settled with Tegna

It’s frustrating to say the least that Directv figures it out sooner than Dish every time.

Guess they brokered a deal as the channels have been restored.

Are you under the impression that DTV has the same level of concern for their customers costs as Dish? Or concern for their customers period? That certainly has not been their history. If they weren't looking to sucker someone into buying a minority share of the business I wouldn't be surprised if they would not have settled at all.

All of the changes necessary to restore all of those Nexstar channels must have crashed James Long's uplink computer. The last update currently on his site is from 12/23/2020.

All I was saying it would be nice if Dish’s blackouts were shorter like Directv. Dish still has yet to agree to bring back the Fox Sports Nets.

Are we going to ever get the sports nets back?

As was put on Direct Tv's thread with Tegna since the dispute is over we need to close this thread out.
