Dish Extends CBS Deal Another Week as Yet Another Standoff Looms
Posted in: UncategorizedCBS Corp. and Dish Network extended a programming agreement into next week, keeping the most-watched TV network on the air for Dish’s 14 million satellite-TV subscribers while the parties negotiate.
Last week, the companies agreed to a five-day extension as they work toward a long-term fee arrangement for Dish viewers to continue getting CBS shows such as “The Big Bang Theory” and “NCIS.”
Dish is juggling more than just the CBS talks. Last week, the Englewood, Colorado-based company restored channels from Time Warner’s Turner Broadcasting, including the Cartoon Network and CNN, to its service while seeking a longer-term deal with that programmer too.
