Tribune Broadcasting Company Blacks Out DISH Customers in 33 Markets;

[STDog]

Look at each market and if Tribune or Sinclair wants more money for their channel, agree to it if Dish is about to lose the channel, raise the price for locals to the consumer. If the consumer wants to pay extra for locals, then they do, if not they do without that channel. That way Dish is out of the loop. If the price goes up for Channel A and not channel B, then Dish explains to us that Channel A is charging more so Dish has to. It is unfair for all viewers to lose that channel or group of channels, so those that are willing to pay the extra, get it. Otherwise the rest do without. Then Dish prints the company's phone number to the viewer and the company gets flooded with calls from irate viewers. I really doubt Sinclair or Tribune wants that. Dish will not be the bad guy any longer and the viewer can yell at Station A. There pay be another angle to this, but this can make more viewers happy not to lose their favorite channel.

Unfortunately a lot if the content owners won't allow that (based on previously published info).

Also, calling the local station is useless. They don't control this.
The conglomerate that owns them does.

My local CBS station can't negotiate separately, they are part of Tribune, so Tribune has complete control.

Someone Check HobbyTalk and STDOG IP address.
I wonder if it matches.

Go ahead. It doesn't.

What's the deal with everyone so quick to accuse?

Can't stand the fact others have different opinions? You are right and any differing thought is bought and paid for?

That's you to a T...
Go back and read some of your own posts.

You claimed Dish DIDN'T and Doesn't need DMA Locals for their survival.

Then when the 2 of yous flipped it around to HOA rules, the claim made was THIS Is why the success of the little Dish took off.
And that's not completely false I agree.
But in the 1994 it wasn't the people in these HOA areas that were having the issues getting Network TV
They had Cable.

That only reason satellite TV Got huge in the late 90's was in fact the release of independent local markets.
If they did not do this, Dish and Directv would have been flatlined.

Their biggest problem was the inability to deliver local programming.

Yous then knew multiple people were correct, and then flipped the conversation around to HOA and pole mounts.

This thread wouldn't exist if people didn't care about locals.
People like their in market sports, their ME tv and other independent locals.

Never accused anyone here of being a paid shill like you did.

But, I wonder how much Samsung pays you to constantly advertise for them.

I just want my FOX local back so I can see some programs and NFL games. OTA won't work here due to tall hills to my N/NE and the fact that all the stations are about 60 away, in Seattle, otherwise I would've bought an antenna a long time ago so that locals wouldn't be an issue...

Haven't heard "Yous guys" since I lived in Missouri when I was 11 years old. I used to have a teacher back then in class who would make you write lines if you said that phrase in her presence. I always said y'all since I was born in Arkansas, and now have lived in Texas since 73.

You still have the channel? For NY CW WPIX 11 customers, the channel was taken down, number and all.

They did the same wth my KWGN and wiped it from the guide. IIRC, it has something to do with those who have grandfathered subscriptions to the Superstations. If one of those is local to you (WPIX) (or my KWGN) we can't watch. Others with subscriptions can see them as long as they aren't local to the viewer.
