I have Dish. When I lost my Brewers games, I did some research...

December 2017 Disney bought out the regional Fox Sports networks. When the existing contract with Dish expired a couple months ago, Disney made outrageous demands that would've jacked up consumer rates - so Dish simply dropped the channels (for now) so their entire clientele wouldn't suffer from Disney's greed.

Not-so-coincidentally, ESPN and ABC are also owned by Disney.

DirecTV, AT&T & Dish are not the bad guys here, Disney is. It sucks we're losing our sports right now, but it needs to happen to control Disney's greed and domination.

@RP-29 You're embarrassing yourself. Disney does not own the Regional Sports Networks.

Yeah, I'm totally embarrassed that I didn't know Disney just sold the regional networks a couple weeks ago and Dish's update on that was posted a couple days ago - months after the channels were cut off because of Disney.

Shame on me for sharing recently-obsolete details of a very relevant point.

I've been in Ames for most of the day, so I am not sure what happened. However, I am watching Florida @ Kentucky on ESPN right now, so I assume they worked it out?

No they are still rolling the bs number to call. No fn way they are dumb enough to keep a game from being shown.
