Bach up for Indianapolis plus WGN in flex. Two channels that were missed and one more that could eventually raise my bill. Bittersweet but I'll take it.

We'll likely never know who blinked first, but I'm guessing it was Tribune. Nevertheless, I too am glad the long dispute is over...
I am very certain Tribune has paid a very high price for blacking out Live Seahawks preseason games to us dish viewers in Western WA. From Week 2 forward (Week 1 is on KIRO & CBS here) things would not have been rosy for KCPQ. Whatever drove this, at least both sides made nice before things got super nasty.
And don't forget L.A. KTLA just picked up two weekends of Dodgers baseball with Vin Scully finishing his broadcast career. That's a huge deal for them and I'm pretty sure they didn't want this kerfffle to last any longer. Anyway, IT'S OOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!
And now, "GO SEAHAWKS!!!" The End.
Yes, Here in Connecticut my CW and FOX channels are back on! Just in time for the new season!
What a nice surprise!
What a nice surprise!
My Fox local, WXMI has returned, along with WGN-America. Too bad, I would rather have WGN-9.
Glad the Dishpute has been resolved. Now, we wait for the next one ...

Got an email from DISH with two free PPV movies and announcement my Tribune stations are back.
In Chicago, Dish has added a 30 second update on Channel 10 that the Tribune stations have been restored. Channel 9 is the Tribune owned channel. I assume all markets can see this update video
Perfect timing. The only thing I would have missed was the MLB ASG, but I caught that on OTA....

Ok, after scheduling a daily update, all is restored.
We can visit mydish.com/thankes and get free ppv movie as a token of their appreciation.
So did anyone with Tribune delivered channels gain a local WGN as well as the national channel? This would tell you who won the stand off. After all, that was the reason why DISH kept the dispute going this long. Because they didn't want to pay twice in order to duplicate WGN as a local channel in each dma that Tribune is carried in.
I'd like to take credit for this, if I wasn't watching my recorded iZombie right now then they never would have know that somebody still watches The CW, in New Orleans. And wouldn't have signed this pact so I can watch all my DCCW shows this October.
Which means that Tribune blinked and gave in to DISH on this one.
Where are you getting that? There is no way that WGN9 would ever be available outside of Chicago, contract negotiations have nothing to do with it.Which means that Tribune blinked and gave in to DISH on this one.
My Bad.
I already admitted in the other thread that I misunderstood what they were pushing for. The forced bundling of the locals with the national channel is what they meant , not the actual carriage of the Wgn in each locals pack that Tribune has. I re-read #739 post by Tampa last night and I understand that now.
Honestly Dish had a lot more to lose once football starts if this wasn't settled .My Bad.
More people will just go somewhere else to find their games.
Obviously Charlie wanted the Tribune channels, otherwise they wouldn't be back.
