Dish claims Fox wants a 150% increase, yet, we don’t know the numbers or the deal. I mean, maybe Fox gave Dish a nice rate before with an increase to be had and now Dish wants to renege on that increase.
Charlie Ergen, owner of Dish, is a known cheapskate and is worth $15 billion. If Dish customers are paying high rates for anything it is his salary.
I tend to agree.
This is the 2nd time they dropped a major carrier, then blamed it upon the other party for failing to negotiate to their terms.
Seems like a trend in their negotiating policies.
