Dish Network & Viacom Settle Their Differences

weshart writes "I haven't yet seen anyone mention the fact that CBS and other Viacom channels are back on DishNetwork. They've been unavailable for the past day and a half, as was reported earlier. No word on the details of the agreement; and the DishNetwork announcement doesn't say anything about whether or not they'll be raising their rates."

  1. Am I the only one who was annoyed by CBS's ticker? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    I don't have a dish (cable), but CBS was trolling its scare ticker across my screen (and everyone else's) during a basketball game, and intermittently throught the week. That annoyed me.

    Than again, I hate all tickers/corner ads.

    No you're not the only one annoyed. I have satellite (DirectTV) and the first time I saw it scroll I missed the first part of the message and thought it pertained to me. I was about ready to call and raise a fuss. Then I saw it again and realized it was only Dish that was affected. Relief.... then after seeing it over and over....annoyance.

    F*ck off. The worst terroist incident in recorded history occured in September of 2001, or can't you remember that long ago?
