Dish Network not airing WVMH stations

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Dish Network not airing WVMH stations

Post by Greg Goodfellow »

I knew this was coming, but with the recent storm, couldn't keep up on details. However, tuning all of WVMH stations yields the same result...a loop by Dish explaining how greedy the chairman is, and how they wanted to extend the current contract so viewers that still had power could find out important info, but he refused. That leaves us with WTOV, whose news my wife prefers anyway, and PBS, which is probably still down (thanks, Genlock).

I HOPE that Dish just gives us stations from Pittsburgh and/or Columbus in the meantime. Dish suggested we go to 'FairSatellite.com,' so off I go (hi-HO, hi-HO).

I am less than surprised by this development. I just wonder how many people view Cary's stations via satellite, due to no other options.
