And how much money did you want for rebroadcast rights. There is two sides to this story.
I have been a happy customer of Dish Network for more then 20 years. With all of the choices I have, Discovery Channels, History channels, TLC, etc, etc and looking at the crap programing offered by CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX on the local channels, the exception being PBS, Even though I have had these local channels for years I have watch none of them in at least 20 years. and I have all of them excluded from my watch list.
Rebroadcast rights have absolutely nothing to do with the sleazy marketing practices of Dish Network and their affiliates as illustrated in my post. It's just not relevant.
