The satellite giant accused that Tribune was making false, misleading, deceptive, and unfair statements about them, and thereby encouraging their subscribers to end their contracts and change to a different provider.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It all started when Tribune insisted that Dish agree to pay 2.4 times what they currently paid to them for the rights to retransmit various broadcast network affiliates. Dish network asked for an arbitration with Tribune, but both the companies failed to reach a mutually agreeable term.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Tribune\u2019s 42 TV stations and WGN America went dark on Dish on June 12 when the two parties failed to renew their contract. About 50 million of Dish\u2019s satellite customers were unable to see Tribune stations, and about 7 million were unable to watch WGNA after that. This means, viewers were restricted to watch Tribune\u2019s basic entertainment cable network and the home of hit shows \u2018Underground\u2019 and \u2018Outsiders\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In addition, millions of Dish subscribers across the country missed Games 5, 6, and 7 of an exciting and historic NBA Finals, the Game 6 of the NHL Finals, the U.S. Open Golf Tournament, and multiple baseball games involving the New York Yankees and Mets, and the Chicago White Sox and Cubs, because of the dispute among the companies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In wake of that, Tribune created websites to tell Dish subscribers they are losing access to Tribune programming. Tribune\u2019s use of the trademarked Dish name and logo in words like \u2018dishgusting\u2019 and \u2018dishturbing\u2019 had a bad impact on the value of Dish\u2019s brand.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_699\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-699\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-699\" class=\"wp-image-699 size-medium\" title=\"TV Channels\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Dish-Network-Channel-List-1-e1466769122146-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"Dish Network Channel List\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-699\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Dish Network Channels List<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lawsuit seeks compensation for subscribers Dish has lost, potential subscribers turned away, increased customer service staffing needed to handle subscribers\u2019 calls about Tribune\u2019s campaign, and damage to Dish\u2019s reputation. \u201cTribune\u2019s campaign is nothing more than a false and deceptive ploy to force Dish to accept Tribune\u2019s terms by disparaging Dish,\u201d the lawsuit said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The damage already done cannot be cured, because once the subscribers switch their service providers, it is difficult to get them back. Dish Network will have to suffer significantly as a result of the misleading messages by Tribune.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interestingly, Tribune Media Co. did not respond directly to the charges. Instead, they called the Dish Network lawsuit \u201cfrivolous and a distraction that does nothing to restore service to millions of Dish subscribers in our markets across the country, which should be Dish\u2019s primary concern.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dish Network filed a lawsuit against Tribune broadcasting recently.
