I’m going to be on cloud 9 when that happens, especially when all the Time Warner channels start telling customers to switch to Directv.
And you know it’s going to happen
Everyone but the judge knows that’s going to happen.
Drop the price of the Locals package because of the loss of Univision? I don't see that happening. At best, maybe no increase next year, or a smaller increase than there otherwise would have been.
As far as I know there aren't any. I think they owned WTBS and then WPCH but no longer do. Are there others? Or did you mean cable channels?
Sorry I don't speak spanish so I did not know it was in locals package.
I thought this was referring to channel 270 Univision (and related channels). Seems National to me.

Both. From dishpromise.com:
"Univision Communications, Inc., The Owner of Your Location Station
You may have seen a message from Univision telling you that you could lose their channels. The truth is, only Univision can black out their channels. Negotiations are standard in the pay-TV industry and we don't understand why Univision has chosen to involve our customers.
Negotiations regularly happen right up to the deadline and more often than not they are settled without issue.

Thanks. We have a Univision affiliate in my market but it isn't carried by Dish anyway.
I am not sure, but this dispute may only affect affiliates that are owned and operated by Univision. The affiliate in Cleveland happens to be an O&O. I have not checked other markets.
Boston is an O&O. As I can only understand a small amount of Spanish, it doesn't affect my viewing habits. However, the city where I work is predominantly made of Spanish speakers, and there are numerous Dish branded satellite dishes in the city. So, it will impact them.
My question is whether this also impacts Uni Mas affielates as well?
I don't know. In Cleveland, Uni Mas is on a subchannel of the Univision station, and Dish never carried that subchannel. If Dish did carry the Uni Mas subchannel, I assume it would be affected here.
