Scuttlebutt says that Dish has/had a one year exclusivity deal with Mr. Beck/The Blaze, and DirecTV is currently negotiating with The Blaze, but won’t sign a deal that forces a rate increase to their subscribers. https://www.directly.com/p/directv-i-want-to-know-when-direct-tv-will-get-the-blaze-74817

DTV just went 10 rounds with other providers a few months ago and made them all blink. They are very good at pulling the rug out from under greedy oafs who think they can be wrung for more money at will, and they learned from the big Viacom scuffle way back.

And the thing is, they have to. BS and corporate propaganda and ad campaigns aside, satellite services just about everywhere are roughly equal. But if Internet-based video services get cheaper overall than satellite AND provide equal customer service, they’re screwed.
