Dish will probably lose customers
Many dish customers are under contract and can't switch. Fox will back off because their advertising revenue depends on ratings.

This is the one time I feel sorry for anyone at Dish. I couldn't imagine how crazy those phone calls from pissed off customers got.

My take is Fox News wanted Dish to pay more for their broadcasting the network, DISH was not having it and they proceeded to drop the channel in its entirety. I also think the reason it is still off the air is because Fox refuses to lower the price for their channel or at least give DISH a reasonable rate. I think Fox will continue play hardball for a little awhile until they realize DISH will not budge and then they will come to a compromise. Don't want to hurt their bottom line
The Dish Network’s dispute with 21st Century Fox primarily concerns Fox/21st wanting a new deal on two unrelated channels FXX and FS1. Dish has accused Fox News of trying to leverage its own popularity to drive up the carriage fees for FXX and FS1. Meanwhile, Fox has said that Dish is being unreasonable with its demands and has a history of blocking other channels in similar disputes.

As a dish customer I think its great that I don't have to see that shit channel on my guide every day. The country just got a lot smarter thanks to Dish
posting from east Texas here...have suddenlink cable and several months ago they did a relatively major reshuffling of their channels and we got that Blaze channel too...Decided to watch Glenn Beck cuz I hadn't seen his crazy ass since he got booted from/quit real tv...this was when there were 2 nurses in the US under quarantine for Ebola...Beck up to his old fear mongering self...was saying he and his wife were "at the point where we aren't going to go out to eat anymore" and was basicly promoting panic etc, that guy kills me, preying on the weakminded and frightened...I see he is hoping a more "Christian" oriented schtick might get him more viewers( and here in the ass crack of the south, it will) Anyhow I listened to him blither for about 3-4 minutes which was all I could take, the best part was the commercials though, gun shows, prepper food storage bins and windable flashlights for after the apocalypse...actually, I might watch his show again just for the commercials haha

says the guy that hasn't figured out you can program your guide to include or exclude channels
