"Unfortunately, Dish's tactics are something we have seen time and time again." "Having deprived its subscribers of nearly 400 stations since 2013, Dish is infamous within the media industry for its long history of disputes with its content providers," CBS said.
The network warned the satellite company's subscribers that it will lose CBS' Thanksgiving NFL game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Dallas Cowboys as well as SEC football games on Friday and Saturday and the network's NFL games on Sunday. Now, as the deadline nears, Dish appears willing to drop the most-watched television network with the most-popular programming in its entire channel lineup," CBS said in a statement. "For months we have tried to enter into an agreement with Dish. The two sides have been sparring over fees CBS wants from Dish for retransmission. On Monday, CBS warned Dish customers about the possibility of a blackout that could deprive viewers of NFL and college football games over the long weekend. Occasionally, however, programming blackouts can last for weeks. Normally these disputes are resolved in hours or days. The blackout affects Dish subscribers in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and other major markets.ĬBS and Dish each issued statements blaming the other side for the blackout. The unusual blackout is the result of a carriage fight between the two companies.
Dish Network subscribers may be having their Thanksgiving turkey without the NFL games slated to air on CBS this year.Įarly Tuesday morning, local stations owned by CBS went dark on Dish Network's satellite system.
