Well, I'm impressed so far. They even spent a whole segment on West Coast weather. TWC doesn't seem to think anything exists west of the Rockies.
I don't think Dish Network or any other provider loves disputes. Any company that deals with outside suppliers has a contracts/licensing department and that is part of their job, negotiating contracts. It's just a fact of life. For satellite/cable providers, whenever contracts are about to expire, the channel owners always want to double the carriage fees which causes the provider to pay more and we end up paying more. Dish Network always fights for the lowest rate, as well they should.
