    Fox pulls FX and FSN networks from Dish

    Fox sports channels and FX dropped from Dish Network

    "We regret the inconvenience to our viewers, but Dish has asserted its subscribers do not value our channels and has made a decision to go forward without them."

    Dish, meanwhile, charged that Fox's demands were akin to price-gouging. Dish, in a statement, said that Fox was seeking an "unprecedented rate increase of more than 50%," a charge that a Fox spokesman called a "gross overstatement." Fox declined to say how much it was demanding from Dish.
    Also includes Prime Ticket. Fox is unhappy with the prices Dish is giving. I don't have Dish, but this sort of negotiation tactic really sucks.
    Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

      Well, that sucks. I just got Dish last week and I went with the mid-tier package for only two channels: FX and AMC. AMC's zombie series premiering on Halloween makes it potentially a must have channel, but I'm going to look into streaming these episodes from my PS3. Hopefully Dish allows us to downgrade the package.
      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          Was the justification for the 50% increase based on Utah moving to the PAC 10?

          As long as my provider has ESPN and BYUtv I think I'm good. Oh and the Food Network.
          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

              I don't watch much on FX besides the occasional movie, but FSN is a huge blow for me. Maybe i'll write in and ask if I can trade Fox News for FSN.

                  They'll charge $5 or $10 for a downgrade and will prorate the bill.
