I don’t think they dropped FNC. If they had, I’d have heard my mom’s screams from Buffalo all the way to Tennessee.
I got rid of DirecTV some years ago as a cost cutting measure. A few months later I got rid of the TV. I cannot tell you how much better my mental health has become. Now I watch documentaries online and sovereign citizens getting their ass handed to them on youtube.

I only watch Hannity,Carlson.Ingraham,Dobbs and that British guy on Sunday. That’s when I watch Fox. I watch OANN mostly. But when I watch TV I mostly watch old movies and TV shows. I’ve been watching Perry Mason cause that’s when L.A. was L.A. and the fifties and early sixties cars. I DVR most everything anyway cause I’m away a lot and I love buzzing through commercials.
Have you noticed how many empty seats in most NFL arenas? Same thing with nascar...
You think DISH is bad. Try DIRECT TV. They are the worst provider I ever had.
“making us watch their drug/sex/trash commercials on mediums we’ve already paid for.”
Nobody makes me pay or watch anything.
If you really think people who hate you are controlling your life, maybe you need to take some steps to reassert some control.
I’ve lived most of my life without that talking box around.
Trust me, you won’t miss it.
The great cable bundling racket:
Channel A
Channel A + 1 hour
Channel A HD
Channel A + 1 hour HD
Same content 4 times a day
Movie channels:
4 movies repeated 3 times a day repeated for 31 days using the same channel configuration above.
Some day one of these companies is going to get smart and let subs fibers pick each individual channel in an entirely custom package. Bundling is garbage.
These stories normally always get this wrong - usually it is the networks who drop the provider, not the other way around.
Fox News must be under a different agreement as this doesn’t apply to them.
This kind of stuff is why antenna sales continue to climb as people rediscover you don’t have to actually pay for television and it is available for free over the air.
I cut the cord years ago and haven’t missed it at all. Got Klowd at $50/year for OANN and a bunch of channels and movies on Pluto TV for free. Add an antenna to the TV for locals and that’s more than enough. Now if the cable companies ever drop their bundling scams and let me pick what I want to pay for I might give them another try, but I will never again pay hundreds per month to support anti-US propaganda and societal rot.
Yep.
Regional sports.
Means Houston area Dish customers, who weren’t able to watch regular season Astros games, now cannot watch playoff games.
Stinks to have Dish, for those folks.
Dish is blaming Fox. Fox is blaming Dish. I have an outside digital antenna so I can Fox 13 Tampa.
FS1 will have the American League playoffs starting Thursday and feature the Big XII and Pac-12 conferences in college football.
As usual, these carriage fights are all about squeezing every nickel from cable operators who eventually pass the costs along to subscribers in rate increases.
it’s amazing how threads like this make people think that anyone is interested in their utility bills.
happens all the time
No, I don’t watch.
In fact, I haven’t watched NFL since the last strike and I had given up on baseball due to their last strike but sparked an interest when the Nationals were ‘born’ and follow them but really don’t care about the rest of them.
I will say one thing for baseball that should make football owners really be ashamed of themselves for allowing that kneeling etc..
Other than that 3rd string minor league catcher with the Giants?? organization last year, I have neither seen nor heard or any such nonsense in MLB and even the Latin NON CITIZENS stand in respect, in fact probably better than the Americans— as ballplayers do tend to ‘twitch’ and shift their weight while at ‘attention/parade rest’ but that is mostly nervousness NOT disloyalty.
Oh Oh... Now how will Dish subscribers get their daily dose of Shep? No more bathhouse current events...
I lost FS1 the only fox channel worth watching. Dish is ridiculous. I lost almost all the movie channels and my bill didn’t go down. I’m about to change over to a fire stick.
I dumped TV ten years ago. Mine went to the local mission store. Don’t miss it.
