thoss programs continues to get more expensive. 9:17:33 in terms of appointmeet television, ttings the american idols, olympics and nfl footbbll is on we have historically been paid less than many channels that are much less popular. and we're trying to change that. it's the only way we can keep providing the program. negotiations like this are becoming more common. dish no longer carries the a-m-c network because of a contract disputt. and... directv temporarily took viacom networkk like comedy central and nickelodeon off the air during negotiations. sinnlairrwill continne to negotiate with dish to reach an agreement before the deadline. in the meantime... remember you can watch our signal free over the air... and it is also avaiiable from directv and your local able coopany.
