Cable and satellite are both going downhill 'cause internet, so to me they're both like greedy rats chasing after discarded crumbs on a sinking ship of denial, fuck 'em both. This is what I read earlier:
Dish, which has about 14 million subscribers, said the channels were removed after Turner refused to extend the current agreement.
"In the past year, Dish has successfully renewed agreements with many large content providers," Warren Schlichting, Dish senior vice president of programming, said in a statement. "As a result, we are confident that we have offered a deal to Turner that reflects an appropriate value for our customers."
Turner countered that it had already made concessions in negotiations and blamed Dish for channels' removal.
"Turner has worked diligently for months to come to a fair agreement including multiple extensions and compromises, and it's unfortunate that Dish is once again operating in a disruptive manner that takes away networks and programming from their customers," Turner Broadcasting said in a statement. "We are hopeful our counterparts will return to the negotiating table, and we'll get a deal completed."
