Two decades my rearend.Dish and Fox had a reimbursement issue this decade and I recall it vividly since it was dropped from my viewing for about three weeks.
It angers me that fox is charging top dollar to rebroadcast its programming,but at the same time it’s ratings allow them to get away with it since their programming is heads and tails above the rest of the cable news outlets.
If one looks at facts they will find that Dish owner is a tight wad and hated by his own employees. Dish is perhaps the worse place to work. The owner gives to Obama and to a Comcast PAC that also donates to Obama. Yes he gave some to Romney, but; most goes to Obama and his kind. I fired Dish today and went with ATT Uverse U300.I refuse to put up with this cheap bas. plus his whining CEO with his fake southern You’all.I refuse to pay good money to hear anyone’s excuses and I refuse to watch brownshirt news stations
I think Fox is making a mistake charging more for companies to carry their channels when they can instead charge their advertising time much more instead by justifying it with their very high and increasing all the time viewership.
At the very least only a minimal increase might be considered to help with operating expenses, but really the less it costs to carry Fox the more carriers will see them as a viable and sought-after option for their lineup.
Maybe Fox needs to run 15 minutes of commercials between the 5 minutes of news segments instead of their normal 10 minutes.
That’s one of the reasons I gave up on them.
