Did Dish come to terms with CBS?


I think you are thinking of FOX.....

No, I'm thinking CBS


That was a couple of months ago...it got resolved.
The FOX dispute only got resolved recently, but that was more of a FOX News/Business channel dispute.

OK. I don't have Dish, just wondering. I have DirecTv. I think they're to best satellite provider right now.

Found out lately. You have them check every now and then for special promotions. I lowered my bill by $50.00. I'm going to check every six months.

It's always ticked me off that the Thursday games are for subscribers only and that only DTV people can get the package.

'Thursday Night Football' to air on both CBS and NBC



SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — "Thursday Night Football" will air on both CBS and NBC next season.

The NFL has agreed to a two-year deal with the networks, the league announced Monday. CBS had broadcast games in partnership with NFL Network the past two seasons.

A person familiar with the contracts told The Associated Press the deals are worth $450 million for 10 games, five each on CBS and NBC. CBS paid $300 million for eight games in 2015.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the terms were not made public.

The new contracts for 2016 and '17 increase the number of games on traditional broadcast TV by two. They will again be simulcast on NFL Network.

NFL Network will still televise eight games exclusively, which will include late-season Saturday matchups and other to-be-determined games.

The league is also negotiating with digital companies for a separate streaming rights deal, which will be announced soon.

The NFL launched "Thursday Night Football" on cable channel NFL Network in 2006 with eight games, which grew to 13 by 2012. In 2014, the league partnered with CBS for a 16-game slate — half simulcast on CBS and NFL Network and half solely on NFL Network.

CBS will broadcast the first half of the season and NBC the second. Both networks will use their top broadcasting teams and contribute to the production of the NFL Network-only games.

Nice that Fox won't be involved which provides temporary relief from Joe Buck.

So first five games on CBS, then the next five on NBC and the final rounds of games on NFL network. NFL network simulcasts all the games. Not surprised they are keeping some games on NFL network only as its the only way to make the network viable.

It sounds like the NFL realizes they have milked the exclusive cow as much as they can and now the network money is too much to ignore.

I agree so why do we have the NFL Network? I mean its okay for certain things I guess but really at least I get the existence of NBA TV.

Not all the games are on network thats the point. The last couple of Thursday night games are still NFL Network exclusives. That being said those games are usually terrible matchups unless somehow those teams have a good offseason.

True but most of them are on network TV so really they aren't giving people an incentive to want NFLN.

Agreed 100%. Only my main TV has the NFL channel. Hated not being able to watch the game when in any other room in the house (I'm rarely in the family room).
