CBS has put their foot down in regards to Dish Network.
The broadcaster has announced they will black out meaning subscribers will lose access to CBS-owned stations Thursday at 7PM ET if the companies can’t agree to terms on a new carriage deal.
CBS has also said that after six months of talks and negotiations, Dish has “not been operating with the same sense of urgency” to make a deal.
“In the last few weeks, we have granted two extensions, in the hopes that this would give both parties sufficient time to come to a resolution. The second extension, which protected Dish subscribers’ programming over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was the final one.”
If an agreement is not met, Dish customers will lose access to CBS outlets in 14 cities inlcuding Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco and Detroit.
This issue could affect channels like CW, Showtime and CBS Sports Network.
