Not only are they owned by people who hate us, but they have been ripping us off for years, making us watch their drug/sex/trash commercials on mediums we've already paid for.
Nonstory. Dish is dropping everything because Dish sucks.
I believe this applies only to Fox local channels. I have Dish and I still have Fox News.
Eliminate Bundling and watch how fast the majority of channels disappear
Most of the shows I watch on network TV are on Fox. I also think Fox News is still much better than either of the other cable news channels (I don’t have access to OANN). Also, I watch Detroit Tigers on Fox Sports Detroit. Most of the Detroit Lions games are on Fox broadcast.
I have Comcast. I would never consider getting Dish or Sling.
We finally got dish out of our life when they billed $78 after quoting $29. There’s plenty of mind- rotting krap you can watch free without having to actually pay for it. Ha!
DISH had a contract dispute with the Fox regional sports channels about a month ago.
The regional channels were sold, and the new owner has not finalized any contracts.
My brother has DISH and has not been able to watch any Atlanta Braves games.
This is old news.
Weren’t the fox sports channels sold off to some third party as part of the Disney merger?
Affects Fox O&O’s and regional Fox Sports Net channels...the usual carriage contract dispute...Fox wants more $$ and Dish doesn’t agree.

Rearrange the letters in DISH and you have SHID.
You said "us"...
Don’t use DISH, Com(munist)Cast or any other of those providers’ bulk packages. All streaming all the time.
I have Fox, but don’t watch any real-time television. I only stream shows and movies from Netflix, Amazon, or my own video server.
They claim there is a contract dispute and encourage the CUSTOMERS to contact Fox.
From a PR standpoint and pure ‘panic’ I can see that BUT didn’t ‘we’ hire DISH to take care of this sort of crap and with them’handling’ it the prices are supposedly lower than if each and everyone of us has to negotiate?
Since Fox carries the NFL I was wondering how many complaints were lodged YESTERDAY.
Wasn’t all that long ago that there would have been ‘mass rebellion’ and people taking to the streets with pitchforks and tar and feathers if ANYONE or ANYBODY messed with Sunday football.
Then again with the hoodlums and oversaturation of the product, interest has somewhat waned.
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.
“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.
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.
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.
