DISH and Hearst Television have reached an impasse in negotiating a renewal retransmission consent agreement for the carriage of Hearst Television’s broadcast stations on DISH’s satellite system. We have made significant investments to deliver top tier programming to our viewers and DISH is seeking the right to carry our stations at below market rates, which is neither fair nor reasonable.
To be clear, we have not “blacked out” our station. You may continue to receive our station for free, over the air, or by other satellite distribution, and, where available, from cable operators.
You can determine the type of antenna needed to receive the signals of our station at http://www.antennaweb.org/.
To contact DISH regarding the inconvenience caused by its unreasonable demands call DISH customer service at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
