Univision: Dish is ‘Dug-In’

[mwdxer1]

It is available in the Tampa area OTA.

I have not seen a swarm of posts about it being gone here. If DISH is right they have lost a ton of eyes over the last few years.

By the way, for the record, there are many other good Latin networks Dish carries from all over. Here, we do not have a Univision station. We got one off Dish, but of course that is being blacked out. I still have my big dish, and there may be some affiliate on some bird available. Not knowing a lot of Spanish, I generally do not watch the channel.

That’s just dumb.

So switch to Directv or don’t get dish if they don’t carry a channel you want.

Sounds like a group of dish network junkies that are mad Dish no longer carries their favorite channel.

I can see the marketing argument, but as long as Dish is not saying they have Univision and say they don’t carry it when the customer asks, then there is no issue.

Remember in Texas there is a city of DISH named after DISH Network.

Google Maps is incorrect. The official town name is DISH, all caps...

I will send Google Maps an email with the correction!

It is all caps in the narrative to the left, perhaps their mapping program does not allow all caps in a town name.

What gets me is Univision is free OTA in most major cities. Why are they charging so much to satellite or cable?
Their streaming service is even more expensive.

Because they think they can charge whatever they want. They can't anymore and I applaud Dish for standing their ground. Frankly I think this is just the beginning. Satellite TV is not a growing industry and can no longer afford to overpay for retransmission rights, especially for low viewership and niche channels.

Because it's a free money stream.

The question was "Why are they charging so much to satellite or cable?" My answer is appropriate but, yes, it's not free money from Dish any longer...
