Dish TV

Just at the beginning of the return of MLB after the pandemic season, Dish TV cut off their deal with NBC Sports Network and I am left not even knowing what the new Giants players look like.  And they are off to a good start.
I am really bummed about this.
The only alternative is to go back to Direct TV which has the same shitty programming as Dish except for local sports, as least temporarily.
It is just greed driving this affront.
Is this a problem for anyone else in here?

The link worked for me...

"US media giant NBCUniversal is shutting down NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) by the end of 2021 and will shift the bulk of its sports programming to the USA Network cable channel and Peacock streaming service."


 Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.

I have read that.
I should have mentioned NBC in my comment about greed.
Maybe sports in general, too.

Re: Dish TV

They recently lost their hockey contract to ESPN. Both networks are reportedly terrible at hockey broadcast. I recently watched an NBC broadcast where someone decided puck drops were not interesting so they focused the camera on the Bruins captain's name on his jersey instead and put the coach in split screen.
