Q.: What’s going on?

A.: Our station has a contract with DISH that allows them to deliver our programming to you.  That contract has expired and DISH has removed our station from your schedule.  We have presented a proposal for fair value compensation, based on the importance and value our programming brings to our viewers.  Despite our tireless efforts, DISH has refused our fair offer and doesn’t seem to care how long they deny you our station.
 

Q.: How do they get away with it?

A.: You may have seen them do this before. They will tell you they’re doing this on your behalf, but don’t believe it. DISH has a long history of taking stations off their line-up, holding their customers hostage. In fact, as a result of such actions,  DISH has lost 2/3rd’s of the subscribers that had in 2009. Our offer is fair.  And now they hold you the subscriber hostage.  It’s not right.
 

Q.: It’s been some time now; Will I see a rebate on my bill?

A.:  Not unless you ask, and then you will likely have to asked each and every month this goes on.   So, we urge you to reach out to DISH and demand a rebate, and to remind them you have options.
