HBO Fires Back at Dish in Blackout Tussle

"Dish has a long history of aggressive carriage negotiations with networks," noted Brett Sappington, senior director of research at Parks Associates.

"It has been unafraid to have blackouts, or to eliminate channels from their packages, if they cannot reach terms that make sense for Dish," he told the E-Commerce Times.
