DISH Network dropped multiple local stations over fee disputes, leaving customers without local news and network shows.

Nearly two weeks after DISH Network dropped multiple local stations including WIBW, KOLN, WFLX, KWTX, WIFR, WITN, Action News 5, WHSV, KNOE-KAQY, KPLC, WECT, and WSMV4, customers across several states are without access to local news, major network programming, and popular shows. The removals stem from disputes over retransmission fees, with stations claiming DISH refused fair agreements. Viewers are urged to contact DISH to demand reinstatement, while alternative access remains available via cable, satellite, streaming services, or over-the-air antennas.
