As of Nov1, dish will drop your local fox network,this is where you recieve the Saints games,and all fox network shows like the SIMPSONS. Please call dish and then call fox at 3103691000 and complain. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE! They have already dropped fox sports

The Fox affiliate in NOLA isn't owned by Fox...

But if this happens, where will the politards turn to find out what to think?

this has to be some sort of monetary dispute for the rights to broadcast their networks.....but even so Fox will lose a ton of viewers and that cannot possibly help with advertising revenue

someone link the biz end of the story?

It won't happen, BTW. These stories pop up every year when contracts expire. Networks (greedily, I might add) threaten to drop from satellite and cable providers every year.

So unhook your dish for those 3 hours and hook up some rabbit ears and catch Fox the free way.

If you have a HDTV then all you need is an antenna to plug in and you'll catch all the locals. In HD to boot.

Simple solution. Just drop Dish! Plenty of others to choose from. Dish is arrogant anyway.

Just called Dish Network and they said Fox is still on board so I'm not sure where this info comes from.

Apparently someone does not understand the difference between Fox News Channel and Fox Entertainment.

Too much MSNBC perhaps?
