Hearst Television's Local Channels Pulled from DISH Network

Hearst Television has caused a blackout of 37 local channels on DISH TV, affecting customers in 27 markets, due to unreasonable demands for rate increases. DISH Network has been negotiating with Hearst for months but is now facing higher prices despite declining viewership and the availability of Hearst's content on other platforms. This situation highlights the disconnect between programming providers and distributors, with other recent examples including Nexstar with DirecTV and Disney with Charter. DISH Network hopes for a fair agreement to restore the channels for its customers.
