We at FOX News Channel are working around the clock to reach a distribution agreement with DISH Network. Despite our efforts, there is a real chance that DISH Network could block FOX News and FOX Business very soon.
In 18 years on the air, FOX News has never had a blackout due to a business dispute, and we want to keep it this way. Unfortunately, DISH Network has a reputation of blocking channels on a regular basis.
In fact, if DISH Network decides to block FOX News and FOX Business, it will be the third time in just two months that DISH customers have suffered through a blackout.
http://www.keepfoxnews.com/UPDATE
Attention DISH Customers: DISH has blocked Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. Despite the undeniable demand, you can no longer watch The O’Reilly Factor, The Kelly File, Hannity or Fox & Friends. Don’t let DISH control the news you watch! Make the switch to another TV provider NOW. www.KeepFoxNews.com
No 11th hour heroics?
ReplyDeleteI don't need Fox news I have SBYNEWS. Thanks Joe and Merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteIt says "Fox Removed this Channel" on the guide.. haha
ReplyDeleteThe Government DECREASES monthly Social Security benefits by 10% and I should worry about losing a TV program?
ReplyDeleteI lost Fox, why couldn't they take a liberal channel?
ReplyDelete9:45, Because they lost so many elections. No different from Blogger forcing everyone to use scrambled words and letters to every comment during election time. The Liberals will do ANYTHING to stop spreading the TRUTH.
ReplyDeleteWhat DISH and Liberal News Stations don't realize is what is about to come. The younger generations don't watch much TV. They get their information on line. They will be able to get Fox News for $5.95 a month on line and Fox will rake it in and not have to worry about local news stations. This is the beginning of the end for WBOC, WMDT, just like the Internet crushed Gannett Publications.
Just wait and see what SNYNews brings in 2015. Once again, we will be YEARS ahead of anyone else.
My DISH programming guide said "Fox removed this channel"
ReplyDeleteI just got off of 'chat' with Dish (I was #359 in the waiting line..)
They gave me the song and dance about how these evil 21st Century Fox people are trying to charge them extra for programs they don't want in order to get the stuff they do want.
Does that sound familiar?
I said 'That sounds just like what you do to me'.
I told them I'm not paying them any more money till I see Fox News back on my TV.
He said he would note that in my account.
He did say that there were other news channels available.. like CNN and Al Jazeera.
I said 'Al Jazeera, you say?'
'Yes', he says. 'They're a news channel'.
Ta-ta, Dish.
I can't believe that station is allowed to broadcast here in america. Media has rights but not when it can be compelling to terrorist.
DeleteI would not have dish network if it was given 2 me free 4 a lifetime. They really suck with all their hidden costs. Direct-tv is the way 2 go. I've been with them soon 2 b 20 years. Not a bit of trouble keep up the great work. Merry Christmas & Ho Ho Ho & a bottle of Captain Morgans Black Rum.
ReplyDeleteYou can even get a weather channel that gives weather on direct tv.
ReplyDeleteIt works fine until you need it.
ReplyDeleteI Just love DirecTV.
ReplyDeleteOh! Gosh! OMG! Whatever will I do? I haven't seen these channels in ten years, yet I have to pay for them.
ReplyDeleteAsk me how much I care!
I do watch Fox news once a month, though...
Take a few minutes and call Dish and tell them you want to cancel.. They are offering 50% off your bill for six months and free sports channels if you say you want to change to Direct TV or Comcast.
ReplyDeleteDish can't block channels. They can only take off Fox if Fox demands it. Nice try tho... By playing hardball, Dish is keeping costs down not only for their subscribers, but all others as well; since they're not letting the market get out of control. I'll live without Fox for a week if it keeps the bill down.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha.You people with the ridiculous looking contraptions on your roof will be watching crap while the rest of us will get the good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty more channels that air comedy
