1st pardon me if I didn't see a topic on this already posted but....


Do we have any conclusion on this yet? Are they working on a deal? Do we know who is at fault?

In the season ticket holder party/carnival/Q&A- JD really beat around the answer to this question... or so I feel...

I feel like Blues management does not care and should since Dish ads are all over the place. "Watch Blues for less" should be "watch no blues for more$"

This was on Feb 5th in an email I got from Fox Sports Midwest
Thanks for your e-mail. We understand your frustration and will do our best to keep you updated if there are any developments.

A snapshot of what’s happening:
FOX Sports Midwest is televising additional Blues games this season beyond what we’ve shown in the past. We pay additional costs for the extra games, and we work with our distributors to help defray those costs. Most cable and satellite systems have agreed to air the additional games, but a few (including Dish) have not. We’re ready to find a solution, but unfortunately, we don’t expect a deal anytime soon this season.

Thanks,
FOX Sports Midwest

ours gets installed in a week or so. I'm sure it has its pluses and minuses just like all the others.

I liked DirecTV better than Dish Network. We switched because of a bundle deal a few years back.

It's a flat out disgrace they never got this resolved last season. Complete joke.
