CBS 4 & CBS Are off of DISH Network.

CBS 4--KCNC-TV & CBS are off of DISH Network after failing to come to an agreement on a new carriage contract, this does not include KKTV CBS11 in Colorado Springs/Pueblo or KREX News channel 5 Grand Junction/Montrose, these stations aren't owned by CBS.  There is a dispute over how much reverse compensation DISH is willing to pay CBS to carry the network and it's Owned & Operated stations.    We have a clock on the right hand side of the blog that will be up until CBS & DISH come to an agreement.   

DISH Network & CBS are in contract talks.

DISH Network may drop CBS O&O Stations nationwide November 20, 2017 at 11:59PM Mountain Time, over a re-trans dispute.   These disputes have become quite common over the past decade and DISH isn't the only provider to have this issue, DirecTV, the former Bright house Networks, Cablevision, & Time Warner Cable have all had disputes with the owners of various local affiliates over the past decade.    The last 2 disputes in Denver have been between Gannett (now Tegna)& DISH owners of KUSA & KTVD  , and Tribune & DirecTV owner of KWGN & KDVR .    Most of the time these disputes get resolved before the signals get pulled, will it happen this time?  I Guess we will find out.

Here is the website from CBS4 & CBS Television Stations Inc explaining the issue: http://www.keepcbsondish.com/denver
